Consequences of vigorous exercise on the first day of menstruation

Everyone knows that proper exercise is one of the prerequisites to ensure our health. So there is a saying: Life lies in movement. However, exercise cannot be blind. No one should exercise beyond the body's ability to withstand. Moreover, it is not suitable for women to exercise during their menstrual period. So what are the consequences of strenuous exercise on the first day of menstruation? Let’s take a look at it together below.

1. Menstrual abnormalities: The main reason is that strenuous exercise will inhibit the function of the hypothalamus, causing abnormal function of the endocrine system, affecting the normal level of sex hormones in the body, thereby interfering with the formation and cycle of normal menstruation.

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 on the 10th to 18th day of the menstrual cycle, in which 80% of the corpus luteum or corpus luteum cyst ruptures, and blood is found in abdominal puncture.

3. Uterine prolapse: Women who do excessive exercise, especially weightlifting and other training, can increase abdominal pressure and cause the uterus to temporarily drop, but uterine prolapse will not occur. If you over-exercise for a long time, uterine prolapse will occur.

4. Endometriosis: Vigorous exercise during menstruation may 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.

5. Vulvar trauma: If the vulva collides with the bicycle seat, crossbar or other hard objects during movement, vulvar hematoma may occur easily. 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.

Through the above introduction, I believe many friends have a more comprehensive understanding of the consequences of women doing strenuous exercise on the first day of their menstrual period. It can be seen from this that doing strenuous exercise during menstruation is not only unhelpful to women's physical health, but on the contrary can cause many reproductive system diseases. Female friends can take appropriate walks.
