Lower back pain during menstruation is a common symptom among female friends. It may be caused by dysmenorrhea, which seriously endangers women's health. Dysmenorrhea is caused by excessive synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium, which causes abnormal contraction of the uterus.

Methods/Steps

1. If the pain is unbearable, pay attention to menstrual hygiene and take oral analgesics or general non-specific analgesics. For example, salicylates have the effect of reducing fever and relieving pain, such as 400 mg of ibuprofen, 3-4 times a day, but it is recommended to use it less.

2. Dysmenorrhea can easily be caused by wind, cold, dampness and other factors. You must pay attention to keeping warm in the future. It is better to soak your feet in warm water for at least 20 minutes every day, and put a hot water bottle filled with hot water on your waist to relieve pain.

3. Oral contraceptives are also an option, mainly for women with dysmenorrhea who require contraception. Contraceptive pills can inhibit endometrial growth, reduce blood levels of prostaglandins, vasopressin and oxytocin, and inhibit uterine activity.

4. Drink a cup of honey and milk before going to bed. Before going to bed, drink a cup of hot milk with a spoonful of honey in it and drink it while it is hot. It can relieve or even eliminate the pain of dysmenorrhea. Milk is rich in potassium and honey is rich in magnesium. Potassium can ease mood, suppress pain, prevent infection, and reduce menstrual blood loss. Magnesium can play a role in psychological regulation, helping the body to relax, eliminate tension and reduce stress.

5. A certain amount of blood is lost every month after menstruation, so you need to increase your nutrition appropriately, such as protein, vitamins, iron, calcium, etc. You should eat more eggs, lean meat, fish, soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits during menstruation.

6. Avoid eating raw, cold, spicy, alcoholic or other irritating foods. Drink plenty of water to keep bowel movements smooth, reduce pelvic congestion, and take adequate rest and sleep.

7. During menstruation, you should pay attention to health care, avoid strenuous exercise and excessive cold and strong stimulation, get adequate rest, relax yourself, restrain yourself, and try to minimize emotional fluctuations.

8. During menstruation, you should drink more boiled water and avoid strong tea. Because strong tea contains high caffeine, it can stimulate the nerves and cardiovascular system, and can easily lead to dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstruation or excessive bleeding. At the same time, the tannic acid in tea combines with the iron in food in the intestines and precipitates, affecting iron absorption and causing anemia. In addition, it is best not to drink alcohol, smoke, or eat spicy food during menstruation. 9

In daily life, we often encounter many women who suffer from back pain before and after menstruation, so they use methods such as beating the waist and back to relieve the back pain. In fact, this practice of beating the waist and back is not advisable, and the result is often counterproductive. 10 Many women choose to wear tight underwear during their menstrual period. They think that this can not only avoid the embarrassment of side leakage, but also relieve abdominal pain to a certain extent. In fact, this is unscientific. It is best for women to choose slightly looser underwear during their menstrual period.
