What to do if a woman has back pain during menstruation

Menstruation is a common occurrence for women every month, but some physical discomfort symptoms often occur during the menstrual period, such as lower back pain, abdominal pain, dizziness, etc. This situation is mainly caused by excessive fatigue, improper diet, poor menstrual blood discharge, uterine contraction and other reasons. You can drink more hot water and pay attention to rest, and you will return to normal after the menstrual period.

Most women will experience symptoms of lower back pain during menstruation. In order to relieve the discomfort, many people will beat their waists from time to time. In fact, this approach will only have the opposite effect. The main reason for lower back pain during menstruation, besides mental stress, fatigue, improper diet, etc., is the position of the female uterus in the pelvic cavity.

Generally speaking, the position of the uterus can be divided into anterior, median and posterior. A posterior uterus is one that is tilted and flexed backward, like a teapot that is tipped backwards. As the outlet for menstrual blood, the cervix is ​​like the spout of a pot. In this case, it is difficult for the menstrual blood in the uterine cavity to be discharged smoothly from the "bottom of the pot". It can only be forced out by strengthening the contraction of the uterus and compressing the uterine cavity. It is precisely because of the spasmodic contraction of the uterus that low back pain occurs.

During this special period, if you beat yourself hard at will, it will not only have no effect, but will instead lead to increased pelvic congestion, faster blood flow, increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstruation, and more severe back pain. At the same time, women's resistance will also be reduced at this time. Inappropriate external force is not conducive to the repair and healing of the wound after endometrial exfoliation, and it is more likely to cause infection and acute and chronic gynecological diseases.

1. Use your hands to rub your waist from top to bottom. Do not use too much force, just rub gently. Never hit your back with your hands. During this special period, girls are already weak, and hitting hard will not only have no effect, but will lead to increased pelvic congestion, faster blood flow, increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstruation, and more severe back pain.

2. You can use a hot water bottle to apply heat to your lower abdomen, which can prevent your lower abdomen from getting cold to a certain extent, promote blood circulation, and reduce the chance of lower back and abdominal pain.

3. Soak your feet in warm water for at least 20 minutes every day and place a hot water bottle filled with hot water on your waist to relieve pain.

4. Get enough sleep and try not to do strenuous exercise, especially avoid putting pressure on the abdominal cavity or lifting the legs too high. Just do some gentle and relaxing exercises.

5. Keep your waist warm, avoid excessive cold and strong stimulation, and avoid eating raw, cold food.
