Proper exercise before menstruation is more beneficial

Menstruation is a physiological law of women, and normal menstruation is an important sign of a woman's sexual maturity. Many women love sports and want to do some physical exercise during menstruation. Therefore, many women choose many sports suitable for menstruation. Some people will question this situation and believe that exercise during menstruation is very harmful to women's bodies. In fact, appropriate exercise can be performed during menstruation, but there are some issues that need attention.

Since women's physiological characteristics are obviously different from those of men, women must choose physical exercises that suit their own characteristics, especially during the menstrual period, when women should pay more attention to exercise. Women can do moderate exercise before and during menstruation, which can effectively improve and enhance the body's functional state and promote blood circulation, especially improve the blood circulation of the reproductive organs in the pelvic cavity and reduce congestion. At the same time, the contraction and relaxation of the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles can facilitate the discharge of menstrual blood and relieve adverse physiological reactions during menstruation.

Note:

(1) Avoid exercises that cause severe abdominal vibration.

(2) Control the amount of exercise and avoid high-intensity, high-volume exercise such as running, jumping, etc. At the same time, do not participate in sports such as diving, swimming and water polo. It is also not advisable to take cold showers or wash your feet with cold water to avoid infection and menstrual disorders.

(3) Avoid participating in exercises that increase intra-abdominal pressure and cause severe abdominal vibrations, such as push-ups, sit-ups, high jump, long jump, basketball shooting, etc.

(4) Keep warm after exercise.

Three days before the menstrual period, you can decide the form of exercise according to your own situation, mainly gentle, soothing, relaxing and stretching exercises, such as meditative yoga, elementary body gymnastics or doing some simple stretching exercises at home. These light exercises can help the body's blood circulate smoothly and relieve stress; on the fifth day of the menstrual period, the body begins to recover, and you can start aerobic exercises such as slow walking and jogging at this time, or you can choose some ball sports, such as table tennis, soft ball, etc. Generally speaking, if the feeling of fatigue disappears on its own after a good sleep after exercise, the amount of bleeding does not increase, and there is no abdominal pain, it means that the amount and time of exercise are appropriate.

If you are a woman who loves sports and you also want to maintain a certain amount of exercise during menstruation, then you can choose some suitable sports according to the above introduction, and remember these precautions. If you pay attention to protecting yourself during exercise, you can enjoy the happiness brought by exercise during menstruation.
