What exercises can relieve menstrual cramps?

Many people think that it is inconvenient to move during menstruation, so they refuse to do sports. In fact, proper exercise during menstruation is good for physical and mental health. Medical research has shown that participating in appropriate sports activities during menstruation is not only harmless to physical health, but also beneficial to the smooth progress of menstruation. Let's take a look at what kind of exercise can relieve dysmenorrhea?

Many parents believe that participating in sports during menstruation will lead to irregular menstruation and physical discomfort, and give their children leave during menstruation to skip physical education classes. In fact, this understanding is unscientific.

A girl's body will have some normal reactions during the menstrual period, such as back pain, abdominal pain, etc., which are mostly caused by congestion of the uterus and pelvis, and will gradually disappear after the menstruation begins. In addition, due to the effect of ovarian endocrine, it may affect the functional state of the cerebral cortex, causing lack of energy, irritability, feeling weak, drowsiness, etc. These are normal physiological phenomena and under normal circumstances, do not affect physical exercise.

Medical research has proven that participating in appropriate physical activities during menstruation is not only harmless to health, but also beneficial to the smooth progress of menstruation. According to research, if girls insist on doing calisthenics during menstruation, stretching their limbs, and stretching their waist, abdomen, and chest, they can regulate the function of the nervous system and balance the excitement and inhibition of the cerebral cortex, thereby further improving the functional state of the whole body and better adapting to the changes in various body functions during menstruation.

Participating in appropriate sports activities can also improve pelvic blood circulation and promote smooth menstrual blood discharge, which can relieve symptoms and treat people with menstrual disorders and dysmenorrhea. At the same time, girls are often easily excited and irritable during menstruation. Appropriate participation in sports can make the excitement and inhibition process of the cerebral cortex more coordinated, help regulate menstrual emotions, and reduce irritability and other negative psychological conditions.
