The Hazards of Training the “Abdominal Line” (Rectus Abdominis) for Women’s Uterus

In daily life, many women strive for a slimmer figure and thus practice “vest lines” (defined abdominal muscles) daily. But what impact does this exercise have on the uterus?

Potential Risks of “Vest Line” Training to Women’s Uterus

Training for “vest lines” may adversely affect the uterus by disrupting the normal menstrual cycle. During intense training, body fat percentage often drops below healthy levels, potentially leading to reduced menstrual flow or even amenorrhea (absence of menstruation). Additionally, localized irritation or pain cannot be ruled out. While performing these exercises, women should closely monitor their own physical responses. Training should generally progress gradually—avoiding overly strenuous or exhaustive sessions in a single workout.

Women should also pay attention to their daily diet—avoiding spicy, stimulating, or greasy foods, as well as foods high in estrogen that may trigger conditions such as uterine fibroids. During sexual activity, appropriate contraceptive measures should be taken to minimize any harm to the uterus—including unintended pregnancy, surgical abortion, or medical abortion. Such events may lead to intrauterine adhesions or endometritis. The uterus serves two primary functions: nurturing the developing fetus and shedding the endometrium during menstruation. Neglecting uterine health may compromise future fertility. Regular cervical cancer screening is also strongly recommended.

Uterine health maintenance begins with regular physical activity to strengthen immunity. Suitable options include jogging, brisk walking, radio calisthenics, and tai chi. Additionally, women should protect themselves from cold exposure and limit intake of cold or acidic foods. I hope this response has been helpful. Wishing you optimal health and happiness!
