What to do if your back hurts during delayed menstruation

Many female friends have experienced delayed menstruation or even absent menstruation, sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as back pain. Some women worry about this for many days, and finally feel relieved when their menstruation comes or the symptoms subside. So, what should we do when a female friend’s menstruation is delayed and accompanied by symptoms such as back pain? Today I will give you a brief introduction.

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for adult women, but the body will also be affected to a certain extent during menstruation, such as reduced resistance, mood swings, irritability, anxiety, etc. Due to menstrual blood loss, the body loses a lot of iron, especially those with heavy menstruation. Therefore, in addition to avoiding excessive fatigue and maintaining a happy spirit during menstruation, you should pay attention to the following dos and don'ts in your diet.

(1) Avoid eating raw or cold food, and prefer eating warm or hot food: blood flows when it is warm, but becomes stagnant when it is cold. Eating raw or cold food during menstruation can damage the spleen and stomach and hinder digestion. It can also easily damage the body's yang energy and cause internal cold. Stagnation of cold air can cause blood to stagnate, resulting in too little menstrual blood, or even dysmenorrhea.

(2) Avoid spicy and sour food, and prefer light food: Menstruation can often make people feel very tired, with weakened digestive function and poor appetite. To maintain nutritional needs, the diet should be fresh. During menstruation, the diet should be light and easy to digest. Eat less or no fried, spicy and other irritating foods to avoid affecting digestion and causing excessive menstrual bleeding due to spicy stimulation.

(3) Combine meat and vegetables to prevent iron deficiency: Women generally lose about 30 to 50 milliliters of blood during menstruation, and each milliliter contains 0.5 milligrams of iron, which means that women lose 15 to 50 milligrams of iron each time they menstruate. Therefore, it is very necessary to supplement with iron-rich foods that are easy to digest and absorb during menstruation. Foods such as fish and various animal liver, blood, lean meat, egg yolk, etc. are rich in iron. It has high biological activity and is easily absorbed and utilized by the human body.

Through the simple introduction above, I believe that all female friends have a preliminary understanding of how to deal with when menstruation is delayed and accompanied by symptoms such as back pain. In addition to the above, we should also pay more attention to our own physical condition to avoid harm to our bodies. If your menstruation is abnormal or the associated reactions are too severe, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment.
