Why do I have back pain before my period?

Lower back pain before menstruation is caused by pelvic congestion, uterine hematoma or retroverted uterus. If it is mild back pain or swelling, you can consider applying a hand warmer or a heat pack to the local area and drinking brown sugar ginger water, the pain will be slightly relieved. However, if the pain is more severe, you can consider taking medication, such as ibuprofen capsules 3-4 times a day for 2-3 consecutive days, which is more effective in relieving pain.

However, if the low back pain continues to worsen and lasts longer, you need to go to a specialist clinic for appropriate examinations to rule out pathological conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts.

Before the menstrual period, the uterine wall will become significantly thicker, and the pelvic blood vessels will become more abundant, which will irritate the pelvis and cause abdominal pain, and even lower back pain may occur. This is a symptom of premenstruation and is also called premenstrual syndrome. Generally speaking, it will gradually decrease after menstruation comes, which will not affect the body's health or physiological problems.

If you feel very uncomfortable or have back pain, it is recommended that local heat or massage can provide relief. If lower back pain persists after the menstrual period, it is recommended to go to the hospital to make an appointment with the pain department to rule out the possibility of lumbar muscle strain. Depending on the situation, local blocked injections or analgesics can be given to help the symptoms recover quickly.

Low back pain before menstruation is often caused by the following reasons in clinical medicine: 1. Due to inflammation of the sacroiliac cruciate ligament, the pelvis will be in a state of hematoma before menstruation, which will aggravate the hematoma of the sacroiliac cruciate ligament and cause pain in the lumbar region. 2. It is caused by pelvic inflammation. When the pelvis is inflamed, lumbar pain will also occur before menstruation. It is recommended to actively treat cervicitis and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. During the treatment period, nutrition must be increased to facilitate the adequate absorption of inflammation. Local physical therapy can be done when necessary to accelerate metabolism through thermal circulation, which can also promote the absorption of inflammation.
