What are the harms of vigorous exercise during menstruation?

When it comes to menstrual issues, female friends must feel very uncomfortable and painful. There are always a few days every month that make female friends physically and mentally exhausted. Not only do they feel physically uncomfortable, but they also feel very irritable. Some people have severe menstrual pain and need to take medicine. And there are many precautions during menstruation, especially not doing strenuous exercise, so what harm will it cause if you do strenuous exercise?

Vigorous exercise during menstruation

Avoid strenuous exercise during menstruation, especially exercise that causes increased abdominal pressure, such as standing long jump, rope skipping, sit-ups, long-distance running, etc., because if the abdominal pressure suddenly increases, it will not only easily cause changes in bleeding volume, but may also cause gynecological infections. Vigorous exercise during menstruation may also cause menstrual blood to flow back from the uterine cavity into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and dysmenorrhea, and may even cause infertility over time.

Some women dare not do any physical exercise during the menstrual period, which is actually unnecessary. However, the exercise density during the menstrual period must be adjusted. Do not exercise every day, and the intervals should be sparse. If you usually exercise 5 times a week, you can change to 3 times a week or even less during the menstrual period.

If we calculate based on a 28-day menstrual cycle, starting from the first day of menstruation, the luteal phase is around the 14th day, and corpus luteum rupture is most likely to occur within the last week of each menstrual cycle.

During this period, if you engage in strenuous exercises such as jumping, running, snatching, sit-ups, etc., which will cause a sudden increase in abdominal pressure, the mature corpus luteum will rupture. The symptoms of corpus luteum rupture can be mild or severe. The rupture causes less bleeding and mild pain in the lower abdomen. Miss Fang is one of these women, and generally there are no sequelae. However, if the corpus luteum suddenly ruptures and the ruptured area is rich in blood vessels, it will cause massive internal bleeding and even hemorrhagic shock.

The editor has clearly explained above why women cannot do strenuous exercise during menstruation and what harm it may cause. The editor here would like to remind all female friends that they must take care of their emotions and their bodies during those days of each month. Only when women love themselves and take good care of their bodies can they be beautiful and healthy.
