When you do strenuous exercise, you can cause your uterus to cramp, and this causes the spotting. Then again, I never had a health or science class cover this material - which would have been great to know, as a woman. But, I know this now, and am grateful. Then Dr. Wright addresses the CrossFit. CrossFit is lots of motion, so even in that friction - that motion can result in some spotting. That can just be a normal uterine muscle response. The connection that I had noticed years ago is completely accurate, but not for the reasons I understood.
Rather, the exercise was simply putting a strain on the muscles of the uterus , which form a lining of blood and mucosal tissue every month. Agitation of those muscles disrupts that natural process. Wright suggests thinking about and treating the uterus like a muscle. Proper hydration and the use of electrolytes help alleviate cramping. Such an effect is seen in women who are not nearing their menopause.
Getting active can bring significant hormonal changes in your system and cause such problems including bloody discharge. Intense exercise like running can increase the levels of reproductive hormones in the body, resulting in problems such as spotting between periods and delayed menstruation.
These women should expect to get rid of the issue once their body gets used to the workout routine. If the problem continues for a long time, there can be some other underlying cause that should be addressed. Seeing bloody discharge after running and menstrual irregularities are not uncommon among women who exercise.
However, it is not always the exercise that causes the problem. Lesions or cysts in the uterus, vagina or cervix are responsible for vaginal bleeding at times. It can also result from problems associated with blood clotting. It is just that running makes you aware of the underlying problem. Exercise like running is most often advantageous for pregnant women. However, spotting after exercise can be alarming. While moderate spotting after running while pregnant is harmless, it is important to be aware of any warning signs for a serious issue.
Spotting can occur due to several reasons and the actual cause depends on the trimester. A majority of women experience spotting during the first trimester because of implantation or the attachment of the foetus to the uterine wall. Such vaginal bleeding is absolutely normal and can occur for up to four weeks after your last period.
Bleeding can be heavy in the form of clots or it can be scant. Hormonal imbalance can occur during and after strenuous exercising. The part of the brain that regulates ovulation can cause abnormal levels of luteinizing hormone LH and follicle-stimulating hormone FSH.
This imbalance can then result in abnormal progesterone and estrogen levels, making you susceptible to irregular periods and abnormal bleeding.
If you participate in sports that require rigorous training and exercise, you may find that you spot or bleed heavily after exercising. Amenorrhea is dangerous because it is accompanied by abnormally low levels of estrogen in your system, and this lack of estrogen can cause you to develop brittle bones aka, osteoporosis.
That means that, even if you are young, exercise a lot, and are in good health, you have an increased risk of bone fractures now, as well as decreased bone density in the years going forward.
If you exercise a lot and your period has disappeared or become infrequent, talk to your doctor. They may be able to prescribe medication such as the birth control pill that will help supplement your estrogen and protect the long-term health of your bones. Excessive exercise is much more likely to cause your period to stop than trigger bleeding, but sometimes overly intense exercise, as well as stress and weight loss, can mess with your normal hormone function and cause spotting between periods.
If you suffer from painful cramping every month, you may find that regular exercise helps to provide some relief.
