Doctor tells who should refrain from visiting the sauna
The bathhouse is one of the favorite pastimes of Russians.
However, despite its healing properties, it is not indicated for everyone.
In a conversation with Izvestia, Denis Banny, a medical expert at the Hemotest Laboratory, shared who should refrain from visiting the bathhouse.
Firstly, the bath is contraindicated for people who suffer from the following diseases:
- acute period of any disease or pathology;
- cholelithiasis and urolithiasis;
- oncology;
- arterial hypertension.
Those who suffer from varicose veins should also take bath procedures in moderation. The doctor explained that the bath increases blood flow to the legs, and this can lead to the progression of the disease.
You should also not go to the bathhouse if you have unhealed wounds or injuries: it is better to wait until you have fully recovered.
Banny also named epilepsy, the first and third trimesters of pregnancy, infectious diseases, liver and kidney failure among the contraindications.
