What causes women's stomach pain and back pain?

It is said that women are made of water, soft and fragile, and need to be well cared for. So what are the causes of stomach pain and back pain? If this situation has happened before during your period, then it is estimated that your period is about to come. You should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid touching cold water or drinking cold drinks. If you are not menstruating and are trying to get pregnant or are not using contraception, you need to consider whether you are pregnant. Because in the early stages of pregnancy, the uterus of some pregnant women will slowly grow larger and the ligaments of the uterus will be affected, and then abdominal pain and back pain will occur. If it is neither of the above two situations, then there may be an acute inflammation somewhere. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.

To achieve the ideal effect, you need to persevere. Refer to the book "Illustrated Massage Therapy for Pain".

Sports conditioning:

1. Control the amount of exercise and avoid high-intensity, high-volume exercises such as running and jumping. It is not advisable to swim in the water.

2. Avoid participating in exercises that increase intra-abdominal pressure and cause violent abdominal vibrations, such as push-ups, sit-ups, high jump, long jump, basketball shooting, etc.

3. Keep warm after exercise to avoid excessive sweating and being exposed to the wind.

4. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or anxious during exercise, you should stop exercising immediately and do not force yourself to do so.

5. People who suffer from dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia or menstrual disorders should exercise during menstruation under the guidance of a professional fitness coach.

Self-Care:

1. Eat a balanced diet

While a healthy diet won't eliminate period cramps, it can work wonders for improving your overall health. Avoid junk food that is too sweet or too salty as it will make you bloated and slow down. Eat more vegetables, fruits, chicken, fish, and try to eat small meals frequently.

2. Supplement minerals

Calcium, potassium and magnesium minerals can also help relieve menstrual pain. Experts have found that women who take calcium have less menstrual pain than those who do not. Magnesium is also important because it helps the body absorb calcium efficiently. You may want to increase your calcium and magnesium intake before and during your period.

3. Avoid caffeine

The caffeine contained in coffee, tea, cola and chocolate makes you nervous and may contribute to discomfort during menstruation. Therefore, caffeine should be avoided. In addition, the oils contained in coffee may also irritate the small intestine.

4. No alcohol

If you are prone to swelling during your period, alcohol will make the problem worse. Don't drink alcohol. If you must drink, limit it to 1-2 glasses of wine.
