What causes leg pain during menstruation?

During menstruation, women are very likely to experience some uncomfortable symptoms, such as dysmenorrhea, irritability, insomnia, headaches, etc. These are all manifestations of premenstrual syndrome. Some women will find that their legs are sore during menstruation. If the situation is serious, it will affect their normal life. Therefore, women need to understand scientific and effective solutions to easily get through the menstrual period.

Premenstrual syndrome is related to the increased ratio of total estrogen/progesterone in the body. Excessive or relatively excessive estrogen in the body causes water and sodium retention in the body, resulting in symptoms such as edema and headache. In addition, people who are usually nervous, irritable, and depressed are also prone to premenstrual syndrome.

This discomfort usually begins 7-14 days before the menstrual period and worsens 2-3 days before the menstrual period. It manifests as mental tension, nervousness, irritability or depression, general fatigue, easy fatigue, insomnia, headache, lack of concentration, memory loss, etc. Some people may also experience swelling of the hands, feet, and face, distension and pain in the lower abdomen, and breast tenderness. These mental symptoms and symptoms of water and sodium retention disappear or are significantly alleviated after menstruation.

First of all, you need to relieve mental tension and ideological burden, treat menstruation calmly, and try to feel comforted and relaxed. In daily life, you should avoid unnecessary mental stimulation, eat less salt, lead a regular life, and participate in more cultural, entertainment and sports activities, which can significantly alleviate the symptoms or even eliminate them. For patients with more severe symptoms, sedatives such as phenobarbital or progesterone, androgen, etc. can be taken for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

I hope that female friends can pay more attention to the maintenance of their menstrual period, because at this time, the body's resistance will actually decrease and it is very easy to be threatened by some diseases, so we must maintain a good attitude, try not to let ourselves get angry, and pay attention to diet regulation, which can also effectively relieve menstrual discomfort.
