Can I do sit-ups during my period?

Girls start to menstruate when they enter puberty. During this special period for girls, their physical constitution is relatively weak and they need to do relevant care work. There are many complications during menstruation that girls need to overcome, and high-intensity physical exercise also needs to be avoided. Therefore, leg raises and sit-ups are not suitable during menstruation to avoid discomfort during menstruation.

Can I do sit-ups during menstruation?

During the menstrual period, it is only suitable to do flat crunches and not leg raise crunches or low leg crunches. Because if you do leg raise crunches or low leg raise crunches, the abdominal pressure will increase, which may cause retrograde flow of menstrual blood. The retrograde flow of menstrual blood will increase the risk of endometriosis, and the possibility of dysmenorrhea, and even clinically cause the serious consequence of infertility. Therefore, during the menstrual period, if you can do flat crunches, it is okay, but other exercises are not recommended.

It is not suitable to do other strenuous exercise during menstruation, and you must pay attention to rest. Vigorous exercise during menstruation can cause increased menstrual flow. Vigorous exercise can even cause retrograde menstrual blood flow and even some abnormal conditions such as endometriosis and dysmenorrhea. So from a personal health perspective, it is best to wait until your period is over before exercising. During menstruation, you should be careful not to eat raw, cold, spicy or irritating foods, and keep warm.

2. The breasts begin to develop. If you can feel the breasts are obviously swelling and the areola gradually appears, and there are lumps when you touch them, this means that the breasts are beginning to develop and the menarche will come. However, the timing of menstruation varies from person to person.

3. Sudden increase in weight and height. If a girl between the ages of 11 and 14 finds that her height and weight have suddenly increased during a physical examination, this is not a sign of obesity, but a prelude to menarche. Generally, menstruation will come within half a year.

If you find that the leucorrhea has turned brown, it means that menstruation will come within 2 to 3 days, and you need to prepare in advance.
