What kind of exercise is good for the body during menstruation?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

During the menstrual period, swimming is not recommended. Intense exercise should be avoided, such as long-distance running, soccer, jumping rope, high jumping, and long jumping. Especially avoid exercises that can increase abdominal pressure, such as sit-ups, weightlifting, and dumbbell exercises. If abdominal pressure suddenly increases, it can not only lead to changes in bleeding volume, trigger or worsen general discomfort during the menstrual period, but also cause dysmenorrhea, menstrual disorders, and gynecological infections.
