Hi,
Menstruation, which is the shedding of the inner lining of the uterus, would not cause any problems with bathing. Bath water would not be likely to reach the uterus at any time, and if it did, would not affect the uterus in any way. So there is no need to worry at all.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
