Can I run during my period?

You can run during menstruation, but it must be jogging or walking, because strenuous exercise may cause endometriosis and cysts, so we recommend that female friends pay attention to the amount of exercise during menstruation. During our menstrual period, we can walk appropriately, because exercise during menstruation can help us improve our body's resistance and promote blood replenishment during menstruation.

Reduce the amount of exercise: It is advisable to participate in some sports that you practice regularly, such as jogging, gymnastics, boxing, table tennis, basketball, etc. Shorten the exercise time and slow down to reduce the amount of exercise and relax the muscles. Avoid participating in strenuous and vibrating sports: During menstruation, you should not participate in sports such as high jump, long jump, 100-meter race and football. You should also not do strength exercises that increase abdominal pressure such as push-ups and dumbbells, so as to avoid excessive menstrual bleeding or changes in the position of the uterus.

Young girls should not run fast or engage in strenuous activities during menstruation, but there is no scientific evidence that running during menstruation can cause endometriosis and ovarian cysts. For children who usually exercise regularly, appropriate exercise at this time will be beneficial to blood circulation and the discharge of menstrual blood. However, if the child exercises little on a normal day, he or she will feel physical discomfort at this time and the amount of exercise should be controlled. Generally speaking, during the 2nd to 4th day of menstruation, which is the peak bleeding period, people's resistance is usually low and strenuous exercise is not suitable.

The function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis that regulates menstruation in young girls has not yet matured. Improper exercise at this time may lead to menstrual cycle disorders, prolonged menstruation, increased menstrual flow, and more severe cases include dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea. However, it is impossible for them to develop cysts or endometriosis. During the menstrual period, girls can take a walk, jog, do exercises, play badminton, or run and jump slightly; but sit-ups, 100-meter sprints, swimming and other sports are not suitable.
