Can I do weight loss exercises during menstruation? Why?

Many female friends have the habit of doing weight loss exercises in their lives. Doing aerobic exercise is a good thing, but it is not recommended during menstruation, because during menstruation, the body is relatively weak. If you still need to exercise, it may lead to a decrease in the body's immune ability.

1. The menstrual period is a time when women's bodies are relatively weak. Not only should they keep warm and avoid eating raw or cold food, but most importantly, they should also do strenuous exercise. The onset of menstruation is the shedding and bleeding of the endometrium. If they do strenuous exercise, it may lead to retrograde menstrual blood and cause endometriosis, etc. This doesn't mean that women can't exercise during their menstrual period.

2. As long as you do not have severe dysmenorrhea, excessive bleeding and functional uterine bleeding, you can engage in some physical exercise appropriately. It can effectively improve and enhance the functional state of the human body, promote blood circulation, especially improve the blood circulation of the reproductive organs in the pelvic cavity and reduce congestion. At the same time, exercise can also cause the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles to contract and relax, which is beneficial to the discharge of menstrual blood and can relieve menstrual discomfort. You can choose ball sports, such as table tennis, soft ball, etc. The sports venues are not large and the range of movement is small. You can also jog with a slow stride, slightly faster than walking.

3. It is best not to lose weight during menstruation , because the metabolism is faster during this period, and your weight will decrease even if you don't lose weight yourself. On the contrary, you should keep warm and avoid raw, cold and spicy food. One week after the end of menstruation is the best time to lose weight. Losing weight during this period will have different effects than usual. You cannot participate in strenuous activities during menstruation, as it will have a significant impact on your menstrual cycle. During the menstrual period, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the endometrium decrease, the endometrium spasms, the endometrial tissue degenerates and necrotizes, and it falls off and bleeds.
