My spine hurts so much when my period comes

It is generally considered that the uterus and pelvis are in a state of hematoma during menstruation, the body's resistance is relatively low, and back pain and discomfort may occur. In addition, some gynecological inflammations may also have certain manifestations during the menstrual period. Therefore, during the menstrual period, you should pay attention to rest to prevent fatigue, avoid staying up late, don't sit or stand for a long time, have a light taste in the diet, a healthy diet, and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. If you have severe back pain during your menstrual period, you can wait 3 to 7 days after your period and go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination for further diagnosis.

Normally, menstruation is very painful. It is important to distinguish between primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is dysmenorrhea that occurs two years before the onset of menstruation; secondary dysmenorrhea is caused by organic diseases, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, etc. The cause of primary dysmenorrhea is related to the increased metabolism of prostacyclin in the body before menstruation. Color Doppler ultrasound can be done to see if there is any organic disease. After the organic disease is ruled out, it is primary dysmenorrhea.

Primary dysmenorrhea can be treated with oral painkillers or short-term contraceptives. The most common painkiller is ibuprofen capsules, which cannot be taken by patients with gastric ulcers. It is usually taken 2 days before the menarche and continued for 2-3 days after the menstruation. Short-term contraceptives are usually taken on the first day of the menstrual period, once a day, for 21 consecutive days, and then stopped for 7 days before starting the next cycle. Painkillers are not addictive and can be used safely, and short-term contraceptives do not have major side effects. If a woman requires contraception, she can choose to take short-term contraceptive pills orally.

If you experience coccyx pain during menstruation, first check if there is any underlying disease. It seems that a history of coccyx trauma or coccygeal arthritis may cause the patient to experience increased pain during menstruation. Because women bleed more during menstruation and are usually more sensitive to cold and heat, the pain of these primary symptoms may be aggravated during this period.
