Can I run during my menstrual period?

As women, we all have to go through the menstrual period. At this time, many female friends will have such a question: Can I do running exercises during menstruation? Many doctors and experts have given the answer: yes. It's just that we have to decide on this issue based on the circumstances. Different physical conditions require consideration of whether you can run or the amount of running you should do.

1. Girls should not run during their first menstruation

A girl's menstrual bleeding is unstable and her body is still developing. If she does strenuous exercise during this period, it will have adverse effects on her body. Therefore, long-distance running is not recommended. She can instead do some gentle exercises such as jogging, sit-ups on the bed, stretching exercises, etc. to achieve her exercise goals.

2. Premenstrual syndrome can be improved by jogging

For women suffering from premenstrual syndrome, jogging can help increase the tryptophan in the blood, promote the serotonin level in the brain, and reduce anxiety and irritability. However, those who do not exercise regularly should control the amount of exercise and do not force themselves. They should stop as soon as they feel uncomfortable.

3. If you have severe premenstrual syndrome, please take a rest

For people with severe premenstrual syndrome, running may cause pelvic burden, aggravate menstrual pain and other discomforts, and even pull the uterus, causing excessive loss of menstrual blood. It is best to rest at this time.

For girls, there will be some symptoms every time they have their period, such as edema, chest swelling, etc. At this time, if we jog, it will be good for the body. It can make our body warm, which will help our blood circulation. However, we cannot exercise on the days when we bleed the most, as this will harm our body.
