How to relieve menstrual back pain

Generally, low back pain during menstruation is caused by abnormal position of the uterus. Pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic tumors, pelvic urinary syndrome, IUD insertion and other irritants can compress the nerves and cause low back pain. Sacrospinous ligament relaxation and lumbar muscle strain can increase the external force on the waist and cause fatigue, resulting in low back pain. In addition, too many pregnancies, frequent abortions, excessive sexual life or exogenous wind, cold, dampness and turbidity can also cause low back pain.

What to do if you have low back pain during menstruation

1. Knead your waist vigorously

Don't hit it too hard, just use your strength on your waist and gently rub it from top to bottom. Avoid using too much force, just pinch and rub it. During this special period, girls are weak, and hitting them hard can easily cause them to be unable to bear it, and it is also very likely to cause menstrual disorders. Be careful of inflammation! Therefore, you must rub the waist gently.

2. Apply heat to Guanyuan acupoint

Close the other four fingers of your left hand except the thumb, and then use the middle joint of the middle thumb as a standard. The horizontal width is 3 inches. Using it as a standard, find the Guanyuan point four fingers below the navel. Drop a small amount of lavender essential oil into boiling water, then wet the towel, dry it slightly, and apply hot towel to Guanyuan acupoint. After the temperature of the towel drops, wet, dry, and apply hot towel again. Repeat this process for 10 minutes.

3. Keep warm

In the wet and cold seasons of spring and winter, you need to keep your waist warm. Try to avoid being exposed to rain and cold, and sleep in the wind at night. Avoid lying in a damp and cold place for a long time. In damp and cold seasons, you can use electric heating mattresses to dispel the cold and keep warm.

4. It is not suitable to eat cold, spicy, alcoholic and other irritating foods.

The menstrual period is the most delicate time for the human body. You should drink more water, maintain smooth bowel movements, reduce pelvic congestion, pay attention to proper rest and maintain adequate sleep. It is not suitable to eat cold, spicy, alcoholic or other irritating foods.

5. Use a hand warmer on your lower abdomen

Girls who are really uncomfortable can take a hand warmer. Girls often have waist pain, which is related to the obstruction of menstruation. Therefore, using a hand warmer to warm the lower abdomen can, to a certain extent, prevent the lower abdomen from catching cold, promote blood circulation, and reduce the probability of waist and abdominal pain.

6. Taking medicine

If the pain is unbearable, pay attention to menstrual hygiene, and take analgesics or general non-specific analgesics. For example, sodium salicylate has the effect of reducing fever and relieving pain, such as ibuprofen 400 mg, 3-4 times a day, but it is recommended to use it less.
