Precautions for menstrual exercise:
During menstruation, strenuous exercise, such as high jump, long jump, running and playing football, will induce or aggravate general discomfort during menstruation, and even cause dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders. Some strength exercises that increase abdominal pressure, such as weightlifting and dumbbells, should also be avoided as far as possible, otherwise it will cause menorrhagia or prolonged menstruation.
In addition, because the uterine orifice is slightly open during menstruation, bacteria are easy to invade the uterine cavity, increasing the chance of infection and causing various gynecological inflammations, so it is not suitable to swim during menstruation. It is also inappropriate to participate in competitions during menstruation, so as to avoid menstrual disorders due to excessive mental stress, which leads to endocrine disorders. For girls with severe dysmenorrhea and inflammation of reproductive organs, it is best to suspend physical exercise during menstruation.
But moderate physical exercise is good for girls' health. For example, gymnastics, table tennis, Tai Ji Chuan, jogging, queuing and other sports activities with small activity, light intensity and gentle movements can promote blood circulation and relieve abdominal distension and abdominal pain during menstruation. At the same time, it also helps to adjust the excitement and inhibition process of the brain, distract attention, maintain a happy spirit, and reduce discomfort such as menstrual tension and irritability.
