Why do I feel backache before my period?

Many women are prone to problems during menstruation, so patients with problems should receive timely treatment to ensure their health. Many women will experience back pain before their menstruation, so why is this? Let's ask an expert to introduce this issue to us.

Women's menstruation is regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian gonadal axis. Mental factors, mood swings, environmental changes, pregnancy, age, illness, medication, and nutritional status can all cause dysfunction of the gonad axis and lead to menstrual abnormalities.

During menstruation, women may feel mild discomfort due to pelvic congestion, such as back pain, swelling in the calves or lower abdomen, breast tenderness, increased frequency of urination and defecation, diarrhea, constipation, etc. Some women may also experience systemic symptoms such as fatigue, drowsiness, facial edema, emotional instability, irritability, etc. These are normal phenomena during menstruation and generally do not require treatment.

If you hit your back and waist with force at will, it will often aggravate the pain in your back and waist. This is because beating the back will cause the pelvic cavity to become more congested and blood flow to accelerate, leading to excessive menstruation and prolonged menstruation, which in turn aggravates lower back pain. At the same time, since women's systemic and local resistance is reduced during menstruation, it is not conducive to the repair and healing of the wound after endometrial exfoliation during menstruation, and it is also easy to cause infection and acute and chronic gynecological diseases.

In your case, go to the hospital for gynecological examination as soon as possible after your menstruation is over. The menstrual period is very painful, and there is also pain in the lower abdomen. Pelvic inflammatory disease is suspected. Pelvic inflammatory disease can cause lower abdominal pain and lumbar pain, which usually worsens during exertion, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation. Sometimes there will be a low fever and fatigue. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up first and take medication after the diagnosis is confirmed.

The above is the expert’s opinion on this issue. The above is the solution to the problem of lower back pain in women during menstruation. If the above method does not work, then the patient needs to consult an expert in time for a solution, so as to ensure the patient’s safety. Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
