A member asked:

Can you tell me any tips for playing water polo on your period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low dose NSAID: Well, it's been a while since I played on league but I do continue to swim and tri regularly. At cycle time, a scheduled dose of ibuprofen daily with food lessens cramps and can also reduce bleeding. Try to reduce carbs and salts as they can make you feel bloated. Eat plenty of fresh and raw vegetables and stay well hydrated.
