We are in the throes of sweaty, icky summers. The sun is blazing and you are dealing with a painful period. In summers proper menstrual hygiene becomes even more vital as the weather brings a lot of infections, allergies and rashes.
Dr. Gautam Bera, an Obstretics and Gynaecologist, from Kolkata says, “ the risk of rashes or infections are higher than normal during summer because the heat and sweat generated from the body makes a pathway for fungus and bacteria. Certain unhygienic practices can also increase the chance of infection. Using unclean pads or not washing the intimate areas properly for example, unclean tampons if are inserted inside the vagina, can induce or promote the growth of disease.”
