How to remedy strenuous exercise during menstruation?

Vigorous exercise during menstruation may cause gynecological diseases. Common diseases include the following:

1. Endometriosis: Vigorous exercise during menstruation can cause menstrual blood to flow back from the uterine cavity into the pelvic cavity. The endometrial debris flowing with the menstrual blood may be implanted on the ovaries and form cysts. After suffering from endometriosis, patients often experience progressively worsening dysmenorrhea and often suffer from infertility.

2. Ovarian rupture: Vigorous activities, lifting heavy objects, abdominal compression, collision, etc. can cause ovarian rupture, resulting in lower abdominal pain and even affecting the entire abdomen. Ovarian rupture usually occurs between the 10th and 18th days of the menstrual cycle, in which 80% of the corpus luteum or corpus luteum cyst ruptures, and blood is found in abdominal puncture.

3. Vulvar trauma: If the vulva collides with the bicycle seat, crossbar or other hard objects during activities, it is easy to cause vulvar hematoma. In severe cases, the urethra, vagina, and even the pelvic cavity may be injured. The labia majora of the vulva has loose subcutaneous tissue and abundant and superficial venous plexus. It is easy for blood vessels to rupture and bleed when hit by external force, resulting in large area of ​​congestion.

4. Uterine prolapse: Women who do excessive exercise, especially weightlifting and other training, can increase abdominal pressure and cause the uterus to temporarily drop. If you over-exercise for a long time, uterine prolapse will occur. Some experiments have shown that when women with normal uterine position carry a weight of 20 kg, there is no obvious change in the position of the cervix; when they carry a weight of 40 kg, the cervix shifts significantly downward.

5. Menstrual abnormalities: A considerable proportion of young girls who engage in high-intensity exercise suffer from menstrual abnormalities, which are often manifested as delayed menarche, irregular menstruation, secondary amenorrhea, etc. The greater the amount of exercise, the later the age of menarche. The main reason is that strenuous exercise can inhibit the function of the hypothalamus, causing endocrine system dysfunction, affecting the normal level of sex hormones in the body, and thus interfering with the formation and cycle of normal menstruation.

You can use these methods to remedy the situation: First, you can use a hot water bag to apply heat to your lower abdomen, which can warm the uterus, speed up blood flow, and prevent waste blood from clogging in the uterus; also pay attention to drinking more brown sugar water and warm water, which can also relieve abdominal discomfort after strenuous exercise; if after exercise, dysmenorrhea worsens, menstrual volume increases, and menstruation is prolonged, you can take some gynecological hemostatics orally under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, you should try to avoid strenuous exercise during menstruation to prevent damage to the reproductive organs and intrauterine inflammation and infection. It is also easy for women to suffer from endometriosis, aggravate dysmenorrhea, and cause infertility.
