Exercise During Period. Good or Not?

In the condition of excessive menstrual flow (menorrhagia) or for normal symptoms of periods to subside, doctors may prescribe you a combination of nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory, and contraceptive drugs, oral progesterone, or other medicines.

And those females who exercise are often advised not to exercise, SO THAT IS WRONG.

Exercise during your period not only makes you feel energetic but also enhances your mood. Due to this, the level of endorphins increases, so you still get relief from the cramps and abdominal pain due to your period.

Endorphins are chemicals (hormones) your body releases when it feels pain or stress. They’re released during pleasurable activities such as exercise, massage, eating, and sex, too. Endorphins help relieve pain, reduce stress, and improve your sense of well-being.

However, during this period, you should avoid excessive exercise (overtraining).
