Can I hula hoop during menstruation?

Generally, you can hula hoop during menstrual period, but the intensity needs to be adjusted according to personal physical condition. If severe dysmenorrhea or heavy menstruation occurs, it is recommended to suspend strenuous exercise.

Appropriate low-intensity hula hoop exercise during menstruation can help promote pelvic blood circulation and relieve menstrual abdominal distension and discomfort. When exercising, you should pay attention to controlling the time to 10-20 minutes, choose a hula hoop with a lighter weight, and avoid excessive exertion on the abdomen. If you experience any discomfort such as dizziness or worsening abdominal pain during exercise, stop immediately.

People with endometriosis, adenomyosis and other gynecological diseases, or menstrual bleeding exceeding 80 ml, should not hula hoop. High-intensity rotation may increase pelvic congestion, resulting in prolonged menstrual periods or worsening menstrual cramps. It is recommended for this group of people to choose more gentle exercise methods such as walking and yoga.

Exercise during the menstrual period needs to follow the principle of individualization and maintain low-intensity aerobic exercise within 30 minutes a day. Pay attention to supplementing iron-containing foods such as animal liver, spinach, etc., and avoid eating raw or cold foods. Keep warm before and after exercise, and use a hot water bottle to apply heat to your lower abdomen to help relieve muscle tension. If you have persistent abdominal pain or abnormal bleeding after exercise, you should seek medical examination in time.
