What to do if you have your period while swimming

Normally, you should not go swimming during menstruation, because it may affect your body and allow many bacteria to enter your body. Women's physical fitness is very poor during menstruation, so they need to pay special attention to cleanliness and hygiene. They cannot do strenuous exercise, pay more attention to rest, and keep warm.

At the same time, the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles can also undergo certain contraction and relaxation activities, which is beneficial to the discharge of menstrual blood. Moreover, proper exercise can regulate the brain's excitement and inhibition processes, making people feel happy, and even some uncomfortable symptoms during menstruation will disappear.

1. Avoid doing exercises that increase abdominal pressure, such as push-ups, sit-ups, etc., because exercises that increase abdominal pressure will change the position of the uterus and increase menstrual blood; do not participate in water sports to avoid infection and menstrual disorders; do not participate in intense and vibrating sports: such as long jump, high jump, 100-meter race, etc.

2. People who are sick should not go swimming. Patients with chronic diseases such as otitis media, heart disease, skin disease, liver and kidney disease, hypertension, epilepsy, conjunctivitis, as well as those suffering from cold, fever, mental fatigue and physical weakness should not go swimming, because swimming may aggravate their condition and cause cramps and accidental coma, which may be life-threatening. People with infectious diseases can easily spread the disease to others. In addition, female students should not swim during menstruation.

3. After participating in heavy physical labor or strenuous exercise, you cannot jump into the water to swim immediately, especially when you are sweating profusely and have a fever all over your body. Otherwise, it is easy to cause cramps, colds, etc.

Swimming is also not recommended in bad weather such as thunderstorms, winds, sudden weather changes, etc.

6. It is best to experience the water temperature before entering the water. If the water temperature is too cold or too hot, try not to rush into the water. The temperature of pool water affects blood circulation, heart, blood pressure, respiration, metabolism, human skin and muscles.

7. Before going into the water, you should do warm-up exercises on the shore, warm up for 10 to 15 minutes, and move your joints and muscles. Otherwise, suddenly engaging in more strenuous activities may easily cause muscle injuries or other accidents. You can use limb exercises such as raising your legs high, squatting and standing up.
