Many people like to go swimming in the pool in hot summer, but sometimes it's easy to doubt whether there will be infectious diseases in the unclean pool, so will swimming in the public pool be infected with sexually transmitted diseases or other diseases?
People are very worried about the public health situation for the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in swimming and hotels spread in the past few days. However, it is clear that STDs in swimming pools are almost equal to the chance of winning 5 million lottery tickets, and there are four kinds of diseases that have to be prevented: red eye disease, skin disease, foot GAS disease and gynecological disease.

Getting STD in the pool is like winning the 5 million prize
In theory, it is possible to infect the swimming pool with venereal diseases, but in fact, the probability is lower than that of winning 5 million lottery prizes.
In the process of clinical treatment, there are often patients who attribute the cause of STD infection to swimming in unclean swimming pool, staying in unclean Hotel, etc. The doctor is not a police officer, unable to verify the whole life process of the patient, and cannot rule out the psychological mischief of "self exculpation".

STD in swimming pool
There are four practical reasons
There are four main arguments for the low risk of sexually transmitted diseases in swimming--
First of all, the swimming pool has a large area and a lot of water. Even if there are several STD patients swimming in it, the pathogens are diluted so that they are not infectious.
Secondly, the disinfectant used in the water purification of swimming pool has strong killing power to pathogens Related article link: http://www.4hw.com.cn/life/jiankang.html
Third, the swimming pool will change water regularly, which belongs to flowing water in a certain sense. There is little chance of sexually transmitted diseases being transmitted through flowing water.
Fourth, no matter adults or children, swimsuits are thin, but still have protective effects. Moreover, the human body has its own resistance.
Red eye dermatosis, etc
Four kinds of diseases should be prevented
Every summer, there are many patients who have skin problems due to swimming. But the medical records show that most of the patients are allergic dermatitis.
Doctors explained that there are a lot of bleaches and disinfectants in the swimming pool water. People, women and children with poor skin resistance are prone to allergic reactions and itching and rash after contacting with hypochlorite in bleaches and disinfectants.
Foot infection may occur when you come into contact with a reclining chair used by a person with tinea corporis or when you sit on the ground on which a person with tinea pedis has just stepped.
Experts therefore suggest that the public should be more 'on guard' against the dark corners of the changing rooms. The changing room and the changing room of the swimming pool are in the wet and humid environment for a long time, which is easy to breed bacteria. When people change their clothes for swimming, they'd better bring their own plastic bags or backpacks and pack them carefully. Bring your own slippers. Do not use public slippers. Bath towels, swimsuits and other personal products should not be placed on public benches to avoid pollution.
It is not uncommon in summer to have red eye disease due to swimming. If children's eyes are uncomfortable after swimming, tobramycin eye drops can be used for prevention. For adults, floxacin eye drops or chloramphenicol eye drops can be used.
Women are more susceptible to infection. Women should avoid swimming before and after menstruation or during periods of low body resistance such as colds. In addition, do not swim or play for more than one hour each time.
If you know that you have damaged skin, you should not swim.
