A member asked:

Is it ok to skip sports during period?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

That is optional: It is not harmful to do sports during menstrual periods. However many teen girls feel weak or have some cramping, at times severe, making it difficult to do sports. However more seasoned athletes continue to do sports during their menstrual periods.

MENSTRUATION: If you are a heavy bleeder, sports must be inconvenient. The choice is yours whether you want to play sports during your period , it does not affect it.
