Some women may experience physiological discomfort before their menstrual period, such as bloating in the lower abdomen and chest pain. However, some women may also experience significant lower back pain before menstruation, and certain measures should be taken to alleviate the discomfort. So, what should I do if I have severe back pain before my period?
1. The obvious back pain that women experience before menstruation is sometimes a normal physiological phenomenon during the premenstrual period. This is caused by premenstrual syndrome. Because the eve of menstruation can cause blood to rush into the female pelvic cavity, leading to the stretching of organs and nerves due to congestion, it is easy to experience symptoms of lower back pain and soreness before and during menstruation. If this is the reason, moderate hot compress, massage, and rest can be used to effectively relieve back pain and soreness.
2. The lower back pain that occurs in women before menstruation should also be considered as a possible pathological cause, such as common chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Women with such gynecological diseases may experience increased pelvic congestion during premenstrual period, which can also lead to obvious lower back pain symptoms during premenstrual and menstrual periods. For premenstrual back pain caused by pathological reasons, it is necessary to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for examination, make a clear diagnosis of the specific lesion site, and follow the doctor's advice for medication treatment.
3. Women in the posterior position of the uterus are also prone to experiencing lower back pain and soreness before and during menstruation, especially when menstrual blood cannot be properly discharged in a timely manner, and the symptoms of lower back pain are more pronounced due to adverse stimuli. Local hot compress can also be used to relieve pain, such as using a hot water bag to apply heat to the waist, which also has a relieving effect on premenstrual back pain.
