At this time, you can apply hot compress on the waist to relieve the pain. For example, you can wet a cotton towel with warm water and place it on the painful part of the waist and the sacrum slightly below, and then put a hand warmer on it, apply heat for about ten minutes, and then apply heat on both sides of the waist for another ten minutes.

2. Supplement potassium and iron. The human body is very weak during menstruation, so you should pay attention to adjusting your diet appropriately to replenish the nutrients lost by the body and enhance the body's resistance. You should eat more foods containing potassium and iron. Potassium can relieve mood, relieve pain, prevent infection, and reduce excessive blood loss during menstruation. Supplementing foods rich in copper such as fish, animal liver, egg yolk, etc., is also helpful in relieving various pains and discomforts during menstruation.

3. Press and rub the Hegu point. Women who suffer from low back pain during menstruation can press and rub the Hegu point, especially for women who cannot rest due to work. Pressing and rubbing the Hegu point can have the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating qi, and unblocking meridians, and has a certain analgesic effect.

4. Do aerobics, such as rolling waist exercises: Women with low back pain can lie flat on their backs with their legs bent, curl up the body into a ball, and roll forward and backward about 20 times.
