Is it OK to climb mountains during menstruation?

Nowadays, more and more people are facing computers or mobile phones for a long time, sitting for a long time and rarely exercising. Only on weekends do I have time to do outdoor sports to enhance my immunity. The most common outdoor sports are: walking, hiking, running, etc. Among them, mountain climbing has become a hobby for many people. So some women want to know, is it possible to climb mountains during menstruation? Then let’s talk about some things to pay attention to before and during hiking.

1. Pay attention to individual differences

Although mountain climbing is a good aerobic activity, it is not suitable for everyone. Before climbing

It is best to check your body first. If you have heart disease, it is best not to climb mountains. Because mountain climbing consumes a lot of physical energy and increases the burden on the heart, it can easily induce angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. In addition, patients with epilepsy, vertigo, hypertension, and emphysema should not climb mountains. People with joint diseases or prone to knee and ankle injuries should not climb mountains.

2. The most important thing when hiking in summer is sun protection and heatstroke prevention

Before hiking in the summer, apply sunscreen to exposed skin. If you go swimming during the hike, apply more sunscreen. It is best to choose a sunscreen with a SPF of around 30. After taking a shower at home, apply after-sun repair lotion and after-sun essence on your skin. To prevent skin inflammation after sun exposure. To prevent heatstroke during mountain climbing, a simple way is to hold three to seven Rendan pills in your mouth while climbing, and drink some Fuxiang Zhengqi water when necessary. After returning home, it is best to eat a few bayberry liquor to relieve the heatstroke.

3. Remember to drink plenty of water

Even if you are not thirsty, you should drink a glass of water before climbing a mountain. This can dilute the blood and reduce dehydration during exercise. When climbing, you should also remember to replenish water at all times. It is best to drink sports drinks containing electrolytes, which can reduce fatigue and restore your strength as soon as possible. Drink small amounts multiple times, three big gulps each time, drink frequently, and don't wait until you are thirsty to drink. It is best to bring two kinds of water when hiking in summer, one of which is saline solution. Another vitamin-based water. Both of these can be made at home. Normal saline is made by adding an appropriate amount of salt and glucose to a bottle of water. Vitamin water is just water with vitamin effervescent tablets added into the bottle, which is very convenient.

4. Pay attention to the rhythm of climbing

When climbing, always keep your pulse within your aerobic fitness target heart rate, 170 minus your age (not more than 180 minus your age). If your pulse speeds up a little, you should stop to let it slow down before climbing again. You can stand for 1 or 2 minutes before climbing again. You can also rest for 10 to 20 minutes. Be careful not to sit down immediately. Stand for a while before sitting down to rest. Be careful not to lie down to rest, and wear clothes to prevent catching a cold. Especially when climbing a mountain, you must maintain your breathing rhythm and breathe in big gulps. Also, when climbing a mountain, you should climb evenly, not fast at one moment and slow at another. Maintaining a steady climbing speed is also a good way to maintain physical strength.

5. Essential medicines for mountain climbing

Ren Dan, Fuxiang Zhengqi Water, Fengyoujing, 999 Piyanling, Yunnan Baiyao Spray, Shangxian Pain Relief Ointment, Snake Medicine, etc.

The above is an introduction to several important things to note when climbing. I believe that people who love mountain climbing now have a better understanding of it. But be careful not to drink too much water or eat too much at one time during the climb to avoid burdening the abdomen and stomach. Women should try not to participate in strenuous activities, such as mountain climbing, long-distance running, etc., two days before their menstrual period.
