Is it suitable for women to exercise during menstruation?

According to our traditional folk customs, when women are menstruating, they must not only not eat raw or cold food, but also keep warm and not exercise. Therefore, some female compatriots are like facing a great enemy during menstruation. They stay in the house and dare not walk around casually, and some even dare not take a bath. In fact, this idea is ignorant. Although some adjustments can be made during the menstrual period, there is really no need to be so exaggerated. Now the editor will discuss with you whether it is suitable for women to exercise during menstruation.

You can do some appropriate fitness exercises during menstruation, and don't stop exercising completely. Because doing some proper fitness exercises during menstruation can promote metabolism in the body, improve blood circulation in the pelvis, help relieve pelvic congestion during menstruation and relieve uncomfortable feelings such as lower abdominal distension and pain. At the same time, proper fitness exercises during menstruation can increase psychological pleasure, help regulate mood during menstruation, maintain a good mood, and reduce anxiety and irritability.

Of course, fitness exercises during menstruation are different from normal exercises. All kinds of strenuous sports activities should be avoided during menstruation, because strenuous exercise will increase the burden on the pelvic cavity, which may lead to excessive menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstruation, etc. During the menstrual period, it is generally advisable to do some mild fitness exercises that do not involve too much activity, such as aerobics, Tai Chi, walking, etc. It is not advisable to do strenuous activities that may increase abdominal pressure and affect menstrual hygiene, such as sprinting, jumping, weight-bearing exercises, swimming, etc. In addition, the time for fitness exercise should be shorter than usual, and the amount of activity should be smaller to avoid fatigue.

Of course, not all women during menstruation are suitable for fitness exercises. The following situations should stop fitness exercises during menstruation: those who have obvious low back pain, back pain, lower abdominal pain and general discomfort during menstruation; those who have frequent menstrual cycles and excessive menstrual blood volume; those with reproductive organ diseases.

In short, it is not wrong for women to take proper rest during menstruation, but it is also completely fine to do appropriate fitness exercises. As long as they do not engage in strenuous exercise, it is harmless and will not cause menstrual disorders or other diseases. With the editor's introduction, I believe that based on your own situation, you can judge whether it is suitable for you to exercise during menstruation or what kind of exercise is suitable for you.
