Yes, exercise can help alleviate period pain. Regular physical activity can help to:
- Reduce stress: Stress can worsen period pain, and exercise is a great way to reduce stress.
- Improve blood flow: Exercise can help to improve blood flow to the pelvic area, which can help to reduce pain and inflammation.
- Strengthen the core muscles: Strong core muscles can help to support the pelvic area and reduce discomfort.
However, it’s important to listen to your body and avoid strenuous exercise if you’re experiencing severe period pain. Gentle exercises like walking, swimming, or yoga may be more appropriate.
