Lower back pain before menstruation

Because the hormones in a woman's body change before her period, there will also be corresponding changes in her body before her period. Among them, breast tenderness and lower back pain are the two most obvious changes. Before menstruation comes, women are already in a rather irritable mood. When the waist and breasts ache at the same time, a woman's mood will be in an extremely bad state. So what are the effective solutions for the back pain that occurs before menstruation?

Is back pain a sign of menstruation?

It is possible for this phenomenon to occur. We all know that the menstrual cycle is usually twenty-one to thirty days, and each woman's cycle varies from person to person. About a week before menstruation, a woman's endometrium thickens to the limit. At this time, the estrogen level is at a high level, which can cause breast pain and pelvic congestion. Therefore, women will feel back pain and chest swelling. When menstruation comes, the above physiological phenomena will gradually disappear.

What causes menstrual back pain?

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

Second, 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.

Third, internal injury factors: too many births, frequent artificial abortions and excessive sexual intercourse can all cause kidney damage and lead to low back pain.

Fourth, lumbar muscle strain: Excessive physical fatigue, abnormal standing or sitting postures, and a too tight waistband, etc., 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.

Fifth, 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 is cured, the symptoms of low back pain may gradually become lighter and disappear.

Generally speaking, it is possible that lower back pain is a precursor to menstruation. It has to be said that low back pain during menstruation can have a huge impact on our lives. How to prevent this phenomenon from happening? Girls should pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, avoid strenuous exercise and excessive cold and strong stimulation, get proper rest, relax themselves, maintain a good mood, and try to reduce emotional fluctuations.
