Swimming is a highly recommended sport. At the same time, all the muscles in the whole body can be exercised, and the blood circulation will be smoother, which is quite helpful for maintaining the health of the body.
Swimming helps women a lot. Different swimming postures exercise different muscles and have different effects on the body. Among them, breaststroke and butterfly are most suitable for female friends. Breaststroke and butterfly must use thigh and pelvic muscles. Frequent swimming in these postures and long-term exercise can not only effectively prevent uterine prolapse, rectal prolapse, bladder prolapse and other diseases, but also improve women's sexual function because of the tightness of abdominal muscles, so they will feel better during sex.
In addition, young girls often worry about whether some men will get pregnant or get infected because of ejaculation in the swimming pool. In fact, sperm will be diluted by a huge amount of water immediately after being shot into the swimming pool. Coupled with the different concentrations of water, sperm will burst almost as soon as they enter the swimming pool. Even if a tiny amount of sperm survives, it is almost impossible to penetrate the layers of protection of swimsuits and enter women's bodies. Female friends don't have to worry about this.
For female friends, it is best not to swim in some periods. The first period is during menstrual cramps. Because secretion and menstrual blood increase, if you enter the swimming pool, it is not suitable for hygiene and beauty. Some women or swimmers will choose to use tampons during menstruation to avoid the interference of secretions. The tampon itself will bring a certain degree of discomfort to users, and the tampon is easily infected by bacteria when soaked in water. If you must swim during this period, it is best to control and avoid menstruation with drugs.
The first period is ovulation. During this period, vaginal secretions will become clearer and thinner because they are ready for sperm to enter, and their ability to resist bacteria will be poor. If you swim in the swimming pool at this time, it is easy to cause vaginal infection and inflammation. It is an ideal choice to avoid this period and then go into the water.
You can't go swimming during menstruation. Because women's reproductive organs are very different from men's, the internal genital uterus communicates with the outside world through the vagina and with the abdominal cavity through the fallopian tube. During menstruation, the endometrium falls off, the cervix opens, and menstruation flows out of the vagina. At this time, the endometrium is a wound with rich blood vessels, which is a hotbed for bacterial reproduction. When swimming, bacteria in the water have a chance to enter the vagina. There is an annular depression between the vagina and the external opening of the uterus called vaginal vault, in which submerged water can accumulate, which provides conditions for the reproduction of bacteria. If bacterial infection goes retrograde to uterus, fallopian tube and abdominal cavity. In addition, swimming consumes a lot of physical strength, temporarily reduces resistance, and easily causes inflammation of uterus, fallopian tubes and abdominal cavity.
In addition, the water temperature in the swimming pool is generally lower than the skin temperature, and the physical resistance during menstruation is low, which is easy to cause a cold when swimming. At the same time, the stimulation of cold water on the skin, especially the abdominal skin, can reflect the contraction of small blood vessels in abdominal organs, especially pelvic organs, and reduce menstrual flow. Not discharging menstrual blood from the uterus during menstruation is not good for your health and may even cause gynecological diseases.
At present, the sports medical circles at home and abroad have done a lot of research on the menstrual training of swimmers. Many people think that athletes can participate in swimming training and competitions during menstrual period as long as they block the vaginal opening with special instruments to isolate the vagina from the outside world. Some researchers in China report that this measure is feasible for well-trained athletes. But as an average swimmer, you can change other sports during your period and don't swim in the water.
