What kind of exercise can I do during my period?

Many female friends mistakenly believe that they cannot do any exercise during menstruation. In fact, you should generally not stop exercising during menstruation. Proper exercise during menstruation can also help the excretion of the uterus, make people happy, and reduce worries. You should be careful about what kind of exercise you can do during menstruation. It should not be too intense, because intense exercise can cause dysmenorrhea or pelvic congestion.

However, you should pay attention to the following points when exercising during menstruation:

Avoid participating in highly competitive competitions.

Participating in these sports during menstruation can easily lead to endocrine dysfunction and menstrual disorders due to high mental stress.

Reduce the amount of exercise.

It is advisable to insist on participating in some sports that you regularly participate in and are accustomed to, such as jogging, gymnastics, boxing, table tennis, basketball, etc. Pay attention to shortening the exercise time and slowing down the pace to reduce the amount of exercise and relax the muscles.

Avoid strenuous and vibratory exercise.

During menstruation, you should not participate in sports such as high jump, long jump, pitching, 100-meter race and football. You should also not do strength exercises that increase abdominal pressure such as push-ups and dumbbells, so as to avoid excessive menstrual bleeding or changes in the position of the uterus.

You cannot participate in various water sports.

Do not participate in sports such as diving, swimming and water polo; do not take cold showers or wash your feet with cold water to avoid infection and menstrual disorders.

Of course, if the menstrual reaction is indeed severe and the menstrual bleeding is excessive, you should temporarily refrain from exercise and go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
