Why do I have back pain during my period?

Some women experience physical discomfort during their menstrual period, which threatens their health. Therefore, once women have this problem, they need to pay attention to timely examination and treatment to avoid dangerous situations caused by menstrual problems. So why do women have lower back pain during menstruation? Let me introduce this issue to you below.

Lower back pain may be premenstrual syndrome (PMS), which 85% of women experience. It is generally considered normal and there is no need to worry unless it is particularly serious. PMS-related symptoms include irritability, depression, fatigue, breast sensitivity and swelling, etc. The causes of PMS are very complex and are related to changes in hormone secretion and genetics.

If you have PMS, you should exercise regularly, eat less salt to reduce swelling, avoid foods containing caffeine to avoid irritability, and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.

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

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease Patients with chronic adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and pelvic connective tissue inflammation may experience low back pain due to inflammation. As the primary disease improves or heals, the low back pain symptoms may gradually become lighter and disappear.

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

4. Sacrospinous ligament relaxation After pregnancy, the fetus grows larger and the waist support increases, which leads to sacrospinous ligament relaxation, compressing the pelvic nerves and blood vessels and causing low back pain. This type of low back pain generally disappears gradually as the waist muscle strength recovers after delivery.

5. Lumbar muscle strain Excessive fatigue, abnormal standing and sitting postures, and tight waistbands can all lead to lumbar muscle strain and cause lumbago. Therefore, such patients should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and often move their waists to stretch their waist muscles.

6. Internal injury factors such as excessive childbirth, frequent artificial abortions and excessive sexual intercourse can all cause kidney damage and lead to low back pain.

7. Exogenous factors such as long-term exposure to cold and dampness can block the meridians, leading to poor blood circulation and low back pain.

If you have symptoms of dysmenorrhea, go to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible, especially when you have sweating, cold limbs, and a cyanotic complexion accompanied by severe pain, you should find out the cause and know what's going on. In addition, when dysmenorrhea is severe, it's best to rest in bed for half a day or a day, which can greatly reduce abdominal pain.

The above is my opinion on this issue that I introduced to you. If the patient has the above problems, it is very likely caused by the above problems. Therefore, once a woman feels uncomfortable, she needs to pay attention to timely examination and treatment to ensure the health and safety of the body. Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
