Can I run during my period?

In parks, gyms, communities, and greenways, there are always female friends running in sports bras, tight quick-drying pants, and soft elastic running shoes. They are a beautiful sight. For women, they will pay more attention to exercise regularity and make regular exercise plans and running mileage arrangements. But plans often cannot keep up with changes. The arrival of menstruation catches women who are preparing to go out by surprise.

In addition, jogging helps increase the tryptophan in the blood, promotes the serotonin content in the brain, and can reduce anxiety and irritability. However, people who do not exercise regularly should control the amount of exercise and do not force themselves. Stop immediately if you feel uncomfortable.

1. Shorten the exercise time and slow down to reduce the amount of exercise and relax the muscles.

2. Reduce the amount of exercise and participate in some sports that you practice regularly, such as jogging, gymnastics, boxing, table tennis, basketball, etc.

4. Avoid participating in various water sports, do not participate in diving, swimming, water polo and other sports; it is also not advisable to take cold showers or wash your feet with cold water to avoid infection and menstrual disorders.

5. Avoid participating in strenuous or vibrating sports. During menstruation, you should not participate in sports such as high jump, long jump, 100-meter race and football. You should also not do strength exercises that increase abdominal pressure, such as push-ups and dumbbells, to avoid excessive bleeding during menstruation or changes in the position of the uterus.
