Why do my legs ache during my period?

Women have menstruation every month. The menstrual cycle is about one month, and occasionally it may come early or be delayed. Women may also experience some uncomfortable symptoms during their menstrual period, such as back pain and leg pain, which is caused by fatigue or abnormal position of the uterus. In addition, it is recommended to keep warm and have a regular diet during menstruation to avoid some discomfort during menstruation.

What are the reasons why women experience lower back pain during menstruation?

1. Abnormal uterine position

Low back pain is caused by uterine position such as anteversion, retroflexion, and prolapse. There is no special treatment for this type of low back pain. Correcting uterine prolapse and changing body position can relieve the symptoms.

2. Pelvic tumors

Patients with uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, and ovarian cysts may experience low back pain due to tumor compression of nerves or cancer cells infiltrating the pelvic connective tissue. This type of patients often have widespread pain in the entire abdomen when they have low back pain, and drug treatment is often ineffective.

3. Internal injury factors

Excessive births, frequent abortions and excessive sexual intercourse can all cause kidney damage and lead to low back pain.

4. Lumbar muscle strain

Excessive physical fatigue, abnormal standing or sitting postures, and too tight waistbands can all lead to lumbar muscle strain and cause low back pain. Therefore, such patients should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and move their waist frequently to stretch their waist muscles.

So what are some ways to alleviate it?

1. Pay attention to keeping your waist warm at ordinary times. Especially before and after menstruation, try not to wear backless clothes. If you feel cold on your back, you can tie a hot water bottle around your waist to relieve the pain.

2. Drinking a glass of milk with some honey before going to bed can not only effectively eliminate the feeling of dysmenorrhea, but also relieve problems such as emotional instability during menstruation. Does it also help reduce blood loss during menstruation?

3. Be careful to avoid excessive fatigue, especially avoid sitting or standing for a long time and other bad postures. During menstruation, you should adjust your lifestyle habits appropriately, pay more attention to rest, avoid strenuous exercise, and relax appropriately.

4. Pay more attention to balanced nutrition in daily life, especially after menstruation, the body will definitely lose blood, so you should increase nutrition appropriately, especially the intake of protein, iron and other nutrients.
