Why do my legs hurt during my period?

Most women suffer from leg and back pain during menstruation, which causes a lot of trouble in work and life. This situation is mostly caused by excessive menstrual bleeding, which causes the body to lose balance, resulting in muscle stiffness, and easily leads to back pain, leg pain and other symptoms. At this stage, you should pay attention to arrange your time reasonably and supplement more nutrients to relieve the pain.

There are several reasons why your legs feel sore during menstruation:

1. Heavy menstrual flow causes anemia during menstruation. Although the amount of blood can be quickly replenished through water, the amount of red blood cells cannot be replenished so quickly, which reduces the oxygen concentration in the blood. The feet are also the load-bearing units of the body, so the muscles cannot get enough oxygen, their elasticity is reduced, and their endurance is insufficient.

2. Unstable female hormones cause endocrine imbalance, which can easily lead to negative emotions in the psychological state. It can also cause brain wave transmission and neurotransmitter disorders, resulting in muscle stiffness and back and leg pain.

Women should learn to protect themselves during their menstrual period and decide whether they can continue to work and participate in labor according to their health status. Experts believe that moderate exercise can promote pelvic blood circulation, smooth menstruation, and relieve back and leg pain. However, for complicated physical work or work that requires long hours, some adjustments should be made appropriately.

There are many reasons for dysmenorrhea, such as cold, inflammation, blood stasis, etc., but most of them are normal physiological pain. When you have dysmenorrhea, you can take some motherwort granules or brown sugar ginger water. If it is too serious, you can also take some antipyretic analgesics. Or take painkillers. During menstruation, pay more attention to rest and avoid touching cold things. You must pay attention to your diet and avoid eating cold food.
