Can women do strenuous exercise during menstruation?

When women have their period, there are many things to pay attention to. They need to pay attention to their living habits and many small details in their eating habits. Nowadays, many women have the habit of exercising, and some women even do so during their menstruation, but later on, they suffer the consequences. I have to ask here, can women do strenuous exercise during menstruation? I believe this question is what many women want to ask.

You should not do strenuous exercise during menstruation. During menstruation, the endometrium is shed and there are wounds on the uterine wall. Doing strenuous exercise at this time will cause increased bleeding. You should also pay attention to not doing sit-ups and other activities that increase abdominal pressure during menstruation. Increased abdominal pressure may cause menstrual blood to flow back into the abdominal cavity, increasing the risk of endometriosis in the future. If you get cold during menstruation, blood will coagulate when it encounters cold, which can easily cause abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, dark purple blood with blood clots and other symptoms of blood stasis.

Of course, you should not do strenuous exercise during the menstrual period to avoid excessive bleeding or prolonged bleeding. You should also avoid spicy and cold foods, and pay attention to keeping warm to avoid catching a cold and causing physical discomfort. At the same time, you should avoid strenuous exercise, especially exercise that causes increased abdominal pressure, such as standing long jump, skipping rope, sit-ups, long-distance running, etc., because if the abdominal pressure suddenly increases, it will not only easily cause changes in bleeding volume, but may also cause gynecological infections. Vigorous 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.

In fact, many women don’t know much about whether they can do strenuous exercise during menstruation. Some people appear particularly weak because they do strenuous exercise during their menstrual period. Therefore, everyone must know that women should not do strenuous exercise during menstruation. It is best to rest more for the sake of their health.
