The impact of vigorous exercise during menstruation on health

Studies have shown that a considerable proportion of women who engage in activities such as sit-ups, dumbbell training, swimming, playing basketball, volleyball, etc. before and after their menstrual period have abnormal menstruation. This is because strenuous exercise can inhibit the function of the hypothalamus, causing endocrine system dysfunction, thereby interfering with the formation and cycle of normal menstruation. For some people, the position of the uterus may even change as a result. In addition, strenuous exercise during menstruation may cause uterine prolapse, especially weight-bearing strength training.

Moderate exercise 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.
