What to do if you have severe back pain during menstruation

During menstruation, women not only feel pain all over their body, but also back pain, which is very uncomfortable. Some women with dysmenorrhea will lie in bed during menstruation and can hardly get up to work. At this time, women's bodies cannot be exposed to cold. They can rest in bed more and drink a glass of honey and milk while resting. Honey and milk can also regulate the body, making you feel relaxed and less painful.

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

Dysmenorrhea can easily be caused by wind, cold, dampness and other factors. You must pay attention to keeping warm in the future. It is better to soak your feet in warm water for at least 20 minutes every day, and put a hot water bag filled with hot water on your waist to relieve pain.

Oral contraceptives are also available, mainly for women with dysmenorrhea who require contraception. Contraceptive pills can inhibit endometrial growth, reduce blood levels of prostaglandins, vasopressin and oxytocin, and inhibit uterine activity.

A cup of honey and milk before going to bed. Before going to bed, drink a cup of hot milk with a spoonful of honey in it and drink it while it is hot to relieve or even eliminate the pain of dysmenorrhea. Milk is rich in potassium and honey is rich in magnesium. Potassium can ease mood, suppress pain, prevent infection, and reduce menstrual blood loss. Magnesium can play a role in psychological regulation, helping the body to relax, eliminate tension and reduce stress.

A certain amount of blood is lost every month after menstruation, so you need to increase your nutrition appropriately, such as protein, vitamins, iron, calcium, etc. You should eat more eggs, lean meat, fish, soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits during menstruation.

Avoid eating raw, cold, spicy, alcoholic and other irritating foods. Drink plenty of water, keep bowel movements smooth, reduce pelvic congestion, and pay attention to proper rest and adequate sleep.

During menstruation, you should pay attention to health care, avoid strenuous exercise and excessive cold and strong stimulation, get adequate rest, relax yourself, restrain yourself, and try to minimize emotional fluctuations.

During menstruation, you should drink more boiled water and avoid strong tea. Because strong tea contains high caffeine, it can stimulate the nerves and cardiovascular system, and can easily lead to dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstruation or excessive bleeding. At the same time, the tannic acid in tea combines with the iron in food in the intestines and precipitates, affecting iron absorption and causing anemia. In addition, it is best not to drink alcohol, smoke, or eat spicy food during menstruation.

In daily life, we often encounter many women who suffer from back pain before and after menstruation, so they use methods such as beating the waist and back to relieve the back pain. In fact, this practice of beating the waist and back is not advisable, and the result is often counterproductive.

Many women choose to wear tight underwear during their menstrual period. They believe that this can not only avoid the embarrassment of side leakage, but also relieve abdominal pain to a certain extent. In fact, this is unscientific. It is best for women to choose slightly looser underwear during their menstrual period.

It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time to consider whether it is caused by lumbar disease or gynecological disease.

Precautions

1. Try not to wash your hair during your menstrual period. If you must wash your hair, try to wash it at noon and be sure to blow dry your hair immediately after washing.

2. Pay attention to keeping warm during your menstrual period, that is, use less air conditioning and wear more clothes in an air-conditioned room.

3. Avoid drinking cold drinks. Drinking ice water will prevent the dirty blood from being discharged smoothly.

4. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the external genitalia. It is not advisable to take a bath during menstruation, but you can take a shower to prevent ascending infection. The sanitary napkins used should be soft, clean and changed frequently.
