Can I do aerobics during my period?

During the menstrual period, many women experience physical discomfort. Therefore, three days before the menstrual period, you can decide the exercise method according to your own condition, mainly gentle, relaxing, relaxing, and stretching exercises, such as meditation-type yoga, elementary and intermediate body gymnastics, or just do some simple stretching exercises at home. So can you do aerobics during your menstrual period?

On the fifth day of the menstrual period, the body begins to recover, and you can start aerobic exercises such as walking and running to lose weight. However, you should still avoid some ball sports and heavy weight-bearing exercises.

Generally speaking, "best friends" visit once a month. On those special days, women must learn to take care of themselves, take the best care of themselves, and spend those special days easily. On the contrary, if the maintenance time is not enough, the "best friend" may have minor problems and even cause some gynecological diseases... So what are the issues that women should pay attention to during their menstrual period? What is it that we cannot do?

Taboo 1: Dyeing your hair during menstruation

Some studies have found that bleaching agents and dyes in hair dyes may be related to bladder cancer, blood tumor cancer, and endometrial cancer.

Although there is no conclusion on the carcinogens of hair dye, there are more than 100,000 pores on the hair, and the absorption of these chemicals is fast. Especially when women are menstruating and their immunity is weak, they should avoid dyeing their hair during this period to avoid adverse changes in cells.

Taboo 2: Taking supplements during menstruation

Generally, medicinal tonic foods are often added with fermented rice to help the circulation of qi and blood, or Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which can increase menstrual volume. Therefore, taking tonic medicine during menstruation is the wrong time. The appropriate golden period for taking tonic medicine is one week after the end of menstruation, before ovulation, when the body's basal metabolic rate accelerates and taking tonic medicine at this time can exert the greatest effect. Even the Siwu Decoction that is familiar to everyone can only be consumed after menstruation.

Taboo 3: Tooth extraction during menstrual period

Maybe very few dentists will know whether you are menstruating before pulling out your teeth, but you must understand that you cannot pull out your teeth during your menstrual period! Otherwise, not only will the bleeding increase during tooth extraction, but a fishy smell will also remain in the mouth for a while after tooth extraction, affecting the appetite and causing malnutrition during menstruation. This is because during menstruation, the uterine wall releases more tissue activating substances, which activate the plasminogen in the blood into free fatty acid lyase with anti-coagulant effect. At the same time, the number of platelets in the body also decreases, so the body's coagulation ability decreases and the blood circulation time increases.

Taboo 4: Sexual intercourse during menstruation

The first reason why you cannot have sex during menstruation is to prevent urinary tract infection. When a woman reaches her first menstruation, the uterine wall (the layer of tissue inside the uterus) begins to slough off piece by piece. During menstruation, it is very easy to bring bacteria from the private parts and perineum (the area between the vulva and the anus) to the vagina, cervix and even the uterus. The bacteria happen to grow and multiply in the bloody area, causing inflammation on the spot, which is called endometritis. Not only will there be fever and lower abdominal pain, but also increased menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstruation.
