What precautions should be taken during exercise for women with specific gynecological conditions?
Women with certain gynecological conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, or pelvic organ prolapse need to tailor their exercise routines accordingly. For instance, women with PCOS may benefit from a combination of aerobic and strength training exercises to help manage weight and insulin sensitivity. Those with endometriosis may need to avoid high-impact activities that exacerbate pain and focus on low-impact exercises like swimming or yoga. Women with pelvic organ prolapse should avoid heavy lifting and high-impact exercises, opting instead for pelvic floor exercises and gentle aerobics.
