Excessive exercise causes seven major harms to women

Exercise is something that modern people are very lacking. We can exercise more after work, because exercise can make people younger and healthier. Especially female friends need more exercise to strengthen their physical fitness and delay aging. However, female friends should avoid excessive exercise when doing exercise, because excessive exercise can cause harm to the body. Let's take a look at the following:

Injury 1: Hymen damage

Experts say that hymen injury is the most common sports injury to the female reproductive organs. Generally speaking, postures that require the legs to be split, such as the straight step and the straddle movement, are the "culprits" that cause this kind of injury. The mucous membrane tissue of young girls is relatively fragile, so they should be especially careful when doing sports such as cycling, parallel bars, and certain yoga movements.

Injury 2: Vulvar trauma

If there is an accidental collision during the activity, such as the vulva colliding with the bicycle seat, beam or other hard objects, it is easy to cause vulvar hematoma. In severe cases, the urethra, vagina, and even the pelvic cavity may be injured. This is especially important for young girls because they often neglect to protect their bodies during sports.

Harm 3: Abnormal menstruation

According to foreign research, a considerable proportion of teenage girls who exercise a lot experience abnormal phenomena such as delayed menarche, irregular periods, and exercise-induced amenorrhea. The greater the amount of exercise, the later the age of menarche. Experts explain that intense exercise can inhibit the function of the hypothalamus, causing endocrine system dysfunction and affecting the normal level of sex hormones in the body, thereby interfering with the formation and cycle of normal menstruation. This type of menstrual abnormality usually occurs in athletes; in addition, ordinary people may also experience this situation if they exercise excessively to lose weight.

Injury 4: Ovarian rupture

Vigorous activities, lifting heavy objects, abdominal compression, collision, etc. can cause ovarian rupture, resulting in lower abdominal pain and even 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.

Injury 5: 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 may also become infertile.

Injury 6: Uterine prolapse

When women do excessive exercise, especially weightlifting and other training, abdominal pressure will increase, causing the uterus to temporarily drop, but uterine prolapse will not occur. If you over-exercise for a long time, uterine prolapse will occur. Some experiments have shown that when women with normal uterine position carry a weight of 20 kg, there is no obvious change in the position of the cervix; when they carry a weight of 40 kg, the cervix shifts significantly downward.

Harm 7: Women who exercise without wearing a bra may suffer from sagging breasts

When you run, jump, or do other exercises, your breasts will vibrate and shake. If you don't wear a sports bra, your breasts will swing wildly and involuntarily, causing permanent damage to the elastic fiber tissue in the breasts and leading to sagging breasts. A British survey report also showed that when an average person runs one mile, their breasts will shake 135 meters.

The above are the seven types of harm caused by excessive exercise to women, so girlfriends should do a good job of warm-up before exercise, as well as some basic protective measures, and also manage the exercise time well. When women do physical exercise, it is best to wear sports bras, which can effectively prevent strain on soft tissues and pectoralis major muscles.
