Can I exercise during my period?

Many girls feel very confused when they have their period. Can they exercise after their period? Because the menstrual period is about a week, many people feel uncomfortable, so they lie in bed every day and don’t want to move, which affects their daily life. This is still very inconvenient. So what should you pay attention to if you want to exercise after your period?

As long as you do not have severe menstrual pain, excessive bleeding or functional uterine bleeding, you can participate in appropriate exercise during your menstrual period. Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. Appropriate physical exercise during the menstrual period can improve blood circulation in the pelvic cavity and reduce congestion.

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.

Avoid exercises that increase abdominal pressure, such as push-ups and sit-ups, because these exercises 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 strenuous and vibrating sports, such as long jump, high jump, and the 100-meter race.

Suggestions: In addition, you should also pay special attention when doing straddling movements, such as riding a bicycle. When you encounter an uneven road surface, it is best to get off and push the bike, because the vulva is very fragile during menstruation.

It is advisable to participate in some sports that you practice regularly, such as jogging, gymnastics, boxing, table tennis, basketball, etc. Shorten the exercise time and slow down to reduce the amount of exercise and relax the muscles.

During menstruation, women's bodies are generally relatively weak. At this time, you must pay attention to your diet and try to eat less spicy and irritating foods. You should also eat less cold foods, especially cold foods. Otherwise, it will easily cause the uterus to open, more and more menstruation, and dysmenorrhea, which is not good for the body.
