"Swimming pools are a source of vaginal infection", gynecology shows

Frequenting swimming pools or beaches during the summer season increases the risk of vaginal infections in women and girls. Gynecologist, Eglantina Dema, explains that humidity is one of the main factors that affects the disruption of the body's natural protective balance.

According to her, humid environments and staying in wet swimsuits for long periods of time can favor the growth of bacteria and the emergence of various infections.

"Since swimming pools, the beach, humidity becomes more problematic and causes infections. Vaginal protection naturally has a pH level that must be at certain values, and the entire mucosal barrier has a natural protection."

When moisture becomes one of the factors that damages this barrier and the normal bacterial flora, which are the good bacteria that try to maintain the acidic pH, by breaking down these barriers, it is understandable that uncontrolled bacterial growth is favored.

Bacteria that exist there, but when the barriers are broken, they grow uncontrollably, causing what is most often vaginosis. Everyone should be careful that swimming pools are controlled. Because there is a major source of infection.

"On the beach, even if the waters are clean, the humidity itself causes this disruption of balance. Frequent changing of swimwear is one of the pieces of advice I give to patients, especially pregnant ones, or young patients," Dema said on the "Dita Jonë" show on A2 CNN.
