Can I run on the second day of my period?

Menstruation is an extremely important phenomenon for women. Many women figuratively call it a "good friend". However, this physiological phenomenon will also have a huge impact on women's lives, causing many women to suffer certain pains. Among them, women will experience physical pain and torture during menstruation, which will affect their lives. Let's take a look at whether you can run on the second day of menstruation?

Usually you can run. If your body can handle it, there's no problem with running. Of course, if you are really feeling unwell, such as some girls with dysmenorrhea who have trouble even standing, you should not force yourself. The right thing to do is to have a good rest.

Most of the time, women can do exercises including running during menstruation, but they must choose the appropriate exercise method and intensity. Low-intensity exercises such as yoga and Tai Chi are acceptable. Although running is not the best form of exercise during menstruation, jogging within a reasonable time frame is still possible.

However, estrogen and progesterone levels are very low during this period, so strenuous exercises such as sprinting, sprinting, and long-term running are not suitable during menstruation.

How long is appropriate to run during menstruation?

Exercise during menstruation should be based on low intensity and reduced exercise time, and you should choose the exercise method that suits you. If you have the habit of running, you can choose to jog during your menstrual period. The time can be controlled to about half of the usual exercise time. Under normal circumstances, jogging for about 20-30 minutes is good for the body.

Moderate exercise during menstruation is beneficial

In addition to relaxing your mind, moderate exercise can also promote blood circulation, relax muscles, improve pain tolerance and pleasure, and even relieve menstrual discomfort such as dysmenorrhea.

Vigorous exercise during menstruation is harmful

Avoid strenuous exercise during menstruation, especially exercise that increases abdominal pressure, such as standing long jump, rope skipping, sit-ups, long-distance running, etc., because if the abdominal pressure suddenly increases, it will not only easily cause changes in bleeding volume, but also may cause gynecological infections. Strenuous exercise during menstruation may also cause menstrual blood to flow back from the uterine cavity into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis, causing dysmenorrhea, and may even cause infertility over time.
