Why can’t you beat your waist during menstruation?

Usually during the first few days of menstruation, there will be symptoms of back pain. On the day of menstruation, the back pain and dysmenorrhea symptoms will be significantly aggravated. Many patients will use the method of beating the waist and back to relieve the pain, but this method is not good, because local congestion in the pelvis will cause back pain. Beating the waist hard will just hit the pelvis, which may even cause blood stasis. Try not to beat the waist during menstruation.

Why can't I beat my waist during menstruation?

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.

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

However, if you hit your back and waist with force at will at this time, it will often aggravate the pain in your back and waist. This is because beating the back will make the pelvic cavity more congested and blood flow faster, leading to excessive menstruation and prolonged menstruation, which in turn makes the back pain worse.

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 suffer from acute and chronic gynecological diseases. From this we can see that women should not beat their waists during menstruation, otherwise it will be detrimental to their physical and mental health during menstruation.
