2 Reasons to postpone class 3 Tips for preventing unwanted consequences 4 Other restrictions for menstruation Can I ride There are no unambiguous contraindications to conventional cycling or the use of such simulators. In each specific case, the girl must evaluate the situation on her own, based on the abundance of excretions, the soreness of critical days and the presence of any diseases. The following points can be singled out, which may be associated with limitations in similar occupations:
There is a probability of getting into an "unpleasant situation" with a leak. Whether it's riding an ordinary bike or exercising on a simulator, you have to work hard and hard. And in such situations, especially with abundant secretions, the gasket along with the laundry can shift. A little easier with tampons, but there are also "dips" here. Bicycle can be used to increase pain. This is especially true for girls with genital endometriosis, pelvic inflammation of the pelvis after surgical interventions, etc. Well, if the saddle of the bike distributes the load evenly. But in the case when it is an exercise bike or a sports car, you do not have to talk about comfort. In the latter case, a significant part of the pressure falls on the area of the sacrum and perineum. And in fact often during monthly pains are felt in the rectum( with the localization of foci of endometriosis, with retroversion of the uterus, etc.).Riding a bicycle will help to increase unpleasant sensations.
Intensive physical activity, for example, cross, will increase the number of precipitates. This is due to a variety of factors. At the same time, uterine contractions can be more painful than usual, blood clots can often appear. If this is not a monthly, but, for example, implantation bleeding or one of the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy, any physical exacerbations will exacerbate the situation. Sometimes these conditions are not accompanied by a bright clinical picture, and a woman can write off a mild ailment at supposedly "critical days".Therefore, especially acute should be if menstruation is not quite normal( came with a slight delay, more meager than usual, etc.). In case the girl uses gaskets and has sensitive skin, constant friction of the material in the crotch area when riding a bicycle, especially for long distances( or intensive training) can provoke the formation of rubbing, diaper rash, etc. As a result, then it will be necessary to restore the skin in this area for a long time, which will bring many inconveniences. Special attention should also be given to girls with any formations on the ovaries, for example, cysts, especially for all kinds of physical activities, including cycling. Intense or prolonged workouts can lead to tearing or torsion of the leg. Both of them entail urgent surgical intervention. It should be noted that myoma of the uterus is not a contraindication to the bicycle, except in special cases, for example, if the tumor is large, plural or located sub-serous.
Reasons to postpone occupation
If a girl regularly undergoes an examination with a gynecologist and does not suffer from any serious diseases of this area, in principle she can use the bike for walks or as a simulator permanently, without interruption during critical days. But in some situations it is still advisable to reduce the load or even postpone your favorite business for a day or two. These include:
on days of maximum discharge, usually the second and third; if menstruation passes painfully and abundantly; if discharge during the month is atypical and pregnancy is not excluded; in the case when there is a cyst on the ovaries or a large uterine myoma is diagnosed, multiple or with a special arrangement of the nodes. Look at the video about menstruation exercises:
Tips for preventing undesirable consequences of It should be understood that critical days are not a disease or something pathological.
At this time, it is only necessary to comply with some recommendations that will help avoid embarrassing and unpleasant situations.
The following are the main ones:
For additional reliability, when planning to use the bike during monthly periods, it is possible to combine a gasket with an tampon. This "double protection" will save from leaks, especially if the girl is abundant and with clots of secretion. You can also use special menstrual panties, which have a special cut, so that you can eliminate any leakage. If the skin, in the crotch, including sensitive, it is possible to put talc on it, which will reduce friction and protect against diaper rash. It is also better to use gaskets with a natural, not mesh top and without additional saturation with odors. If a girl has a cyst or other neoplasms on the ovaries, the possibility of using the bicycle as a simulator and a vehicle should be clarified by the doctor. Most likely, the expert will recommend to refrain from such loads until the moment of radical cure. In case of presence of myoma, the tactic is exactly the same as with cysts. Do not panic if it's just a couple of small knots up to 3 cm, but it's better to check with your doctor. If the menses are unusual, just in case, you should at least make a simple pregnancy test and exclude or confirm it. It's better to refuse to increase the load exactly in "these days". Other menstruation restrictions Some girls do not feel any changes during menstruation. Both performance and endurance, their mood remains exactly the same as on ordinary days. But even in this case it's better not to "test" your own organism and exclude the following measures:
Do not take too hot a bath, visit saunas, baths. Additional thermal procedures can cause an increase in menstrual bleeding even in perfectly healthy women. It is recommended to refrain from overly active training or physical work. Unprotected sex in these days can provoke an inflammatory process, because at this time, the immunity in the body of a woman is reduced. Plus, the cervix is slightly open, which "makes it easier" for the infection. Do not plan surgery, serious cosmetic procedures for these days.
Monthly is a physiological phenomenon in the life of every woman. These days do not imply any restrictions, but it is better to take care of your own comfort and safety, and not to neglect simple advice. A bicycle, as a simulator or vehicle, is perfectly acceptable during menstruation, but sometimes it can provoke increased pain, bleeding, or some other pathological condition.
