Avoid letting water dry behind your ears
The article discusses the health risks for women of remaining in damp swimsuits during the summer. It explains that moisture promotes the growth of bacteria and fungi that can lead to cystitis, vaginitis, and candidiasis. Dr. Mercedes Hierro pointed out that staying in a swimsuit after swimming increases the likelihood of transferring natural bacteria to the bladder, which worsens inflammation, especially with repeated summer exposure. The advice includes changing out of the swimsuit immediately after leaving the water to maintain the natural balance of the sensitive area, and avoiding habits that disturb this balance—such as using antibiotics, lack of sleep, stress, dehydration, and consuming excessive sugars—all of which increase the risk of fungal infections. Symptoms of cystitis include frequent urination, burning sensation, pain during urination, and changes in urine smell or color. Vaginitis is characterized by gray or white discharge with a strong odor, while candidiasis causes itching, redness, and thick white discharge.
