Most of us just want to relax by the pool during the heat, but it’s important to be aware that such visits can also pose a risk for intimate infections.
Change Your Swimsuit Frequently
Did you know that changing into dry swimwear after getting out of the water can significantly reduce the risk of intimate infections? Bacterial and fungal infections are most common during beach season, and wet swimsuits provide an ideal environment for their growth.
Use a Tampon
A tampon for swimming can be helpful even if you are not menstruating. It is easily accessible and can be very useful in reducing negative effects. Ensure frequent tampon changes, as their use during menstruation can be hazardous and might even cause toxic shock syndrome.
Prepare Your Body
Our immune system can also contribute to bacterial infections. In addition to having a gynecological check-up before beach season, strengthen your immune system. You can also take herbal supplements that help maintain a healthy vaginal flora.
Use Intimate Wipes
Take a pack of intimate wipes to the beach and use them occasionally. These wipes help maintain the normal pH balance of the vagina.
Pay Attention to Clothing
Avoid tight clothing; instead, opt for skirts and cotton underwear.
