Women's Health Issues while traveling
Hygiene Practices
- Sanitary pads and tampons may not be available or may not be up to
the same standard you are used to, consider bringing your own.
- Toilet facilities are different in some locations and toilet paper
isn’t used in many countries. Stick rolls of toilet paper in your
bag or bring some moistened cleansing wipes. These are available in resealable
travel packs or tubs.
Constipation
- Bowel
habits may change with travel. Consider bringing fiber supplements,
or a mild laxative.
Urinary Tract Infections
- If you are prone to bladder infections, speak with your doctor
about taking some medication with you. Often Ciprofloxacin used
for Traveler’s Diarrhea can be used for treatment of a bladder
infection.
- You may also want to bring some Pyridium, which can help the
symptoms but you will still need antibiotics to treat the infection.
Bladder infections should be treated as soon as possible to avoid a more
serious infection of the kidneys.
Vaginitis
- If you are prone to yeast infections it might be advisable to bring
some treatment with you. Antibiotics for traveler’s diarrhea and
Doxycycline, an antibiotic sometimes given for prevention of malaria, may
also cause yeast infections.
- You can help prevent vaginitis by avoiding wet
clothing, tight clothing, underwear at night, douching and unwashed sex
toys.
