Can I jog during my menstrual period?

Jogging is a habit for many people nowadays. Many people like to jog in the early morning or evening to exercise and enhance their immunity. Nowadays, not only men like jogging, but women also like jogging. For women, jogging can also help them lose weight. However, as we all know, women have menstruation every month, so, can women jog during menstruation?

During menstruation, you should avoid strenuous exercise, 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, dysmenorrhea, and even infertility over time.

Proper exercise can eliminate the discomfort during menstruation. However, it is best not to do too intense physical exercise during menstruation. It is important to note that exercise should not be more strenuous than usual, and should be performed to a level where you do not feel tired. Vigorous physical exercise can increase blood circulation and cause excessive menstrual bleeding. In order to avoid increased bleeding or prolonged menstruation, it is recommended that you try to reduce strenuous exercise. It's okay to jog, but don't run too fast and don't let yourself feel tired. It is better to rest as much as possible during menstruation, and appropriate jogging is also acceptable. Secondly, it is better to avoid contact with cold water as much as possible.

Regarding the question of whether women can jog during menstruation, many women do not care and still insist on jogging when their period comes. In fact, it is best not to do strenuous exercise during menstruation, so it is not recommended for women to jog during menstruation. If you must jog, it is recommended that female friends continue jogging when the menstrual flow is light and pay attention to rest.
