Can women with cervicitis swim?

Cervicitis is a common disease among women, mostly caused by unclean vulva, promiscuous sex, postpartum infection, etc. It causes a lot of trouble to women. Many women have a question: what are the symptoms of cervicitis ? Can women swim if they have cervicitis? Let our experts answer your questions.

The main symptom of cervicitis is increased vaginal discharge. The symptoms of acute cervicitis are purulent vaginal discharge, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region, or bladder irritation signs such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain. The symptoms of chronic cervicitis are milky white mucous vaginal discharge, or light yellow purulent vaginal discharge; in severe cervical erosion or cervical polyps, bloody vaginal discharge or bleeding after sexual intercourse may occur. In mild cases, there may be no systemic symptoms. When the inflammation spreads along the uterosacral ligament to the pelvic cavity, there may be pain in the lumbosacral region, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and dysmenorrhea, which worsens during bowel movements and sexual intercourse.

Regardless of whether cervicitis is serious or not, you cannot swim if you have cervicitis. You cannot swim if you have any gynecological disease. Because the crowd in the swimming pool is complicated and there are many bacteria, if you enter the swimming pool, the bacteria may enter your body again, causing the inflammation to worsen, leading to the spread of infection, adnexitis or pelvic inflammatory disease, and even infertility. Therefore, you cannot swim before cervicitis is cured.

The above is the expert’s introduction to the symptoms of cervicitis, and we would like to inform you that women with cervicitis are more likely to get infected when swimming, so women with cervicitis should not swim in public swimming pools.
