Can I go hiking during menstruation?

Hiking is an outdoor sport that many people like. Because climbing requires a lot of physical strength, the physical fitness requirements for climbers are also very strict. If you are sick, it is best not to climb, because it consumes a lot of physical strength and will be detrimental to recovery. Many girls will ask, can they go hiking during menstruation? Does climbing during menstruation have any effect on the body?

During menstruation, strenuous exercise such as high jump, long jump, running, playing football, etc. can 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 much as possible, otherwise they will cause excessive menstruation or prolonged menstruation. In addition, since the cervix is ​​slightly open during menstruation, bacteria can easily invade the uterine cavity, increasing the chance of infection and causing various gynecological inflammations. Therefore, swimming is not suitable during menstruation. It is also not advisable to participate in competitions during menstruation, so as to avoid endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders due to excessive mental stress. For girls with severe dysmenorrhea and genital inflammation, it is best to suspend physical exercise during menstruation.

But moderate physical exercise is beneficial to girls' bodies. For example, some sports activities with small amount of activity, light intensity and gentle movements, such as gymnastics, table tennis, Tai Chi, jogging, and marching, can promote blood circulation and relieve abdominal distension and abdominal pain during menstruation. At the same time, it also helps to adjust the brain's excitement and inhibition processes, distract attention, maintain a happy spirit, and reduce discomfort such as menstrual tension and irritability.

Beating the waist and back can cause further congestion in the pelvis and accelerated blood flow, leading to excessive menstruation or prolonged menstruation. In addition, many women will experience severe back pain during menstruation, and may choose to have others massage them or beat themselves to relieve waist fatigue and soreness. Chen Zhiliao said that it is very normal for women to experience back pain during menstruation, which is caused by pelvic congestion. Blindly massaging or beating the waist vigorously at this time will cause the pelvic congestion to become more serious, which will aggravate the back pain.

From the above introduction, we can know that it is best for women not to climb mountains during menstruation, or do other strenuous exercises during menstruation, because this is very harmful to the health of female friends. In addition, female friends should also keep warm during menstruation, do not drink cold water or beverages, and avoid alcoholic beverages.
