Why does my lower back feel sore before my period?

Before each menstruation, the waist is particularly sore, which may be caused by factors such as changes in hormone levels, colds, lumbar muscle strain, etc. If the symptoms of back pain are severe, it is recommended that patients seek medical attention in time to find out the cause and carry out targeted treatment.

1. Changes in hormone levels:

In the early stages of menstruation, hormone levels in the body change. The increase in progesterone can cause pelvic congestion and edema, which can easily compress the sacral nerves and cause back pain symptoms. This is normal and generally does not require special treatment.

2. Catch a cold:

If the patient usually likes to wear clothes with navel, it is easy to cause a cold in the waist, which will cause local vasoconstriction and spasm, causing symptoms such as pain, soreness and swelling. The patient can use a hot towel to heat the waist to promote local blood circulation and relieve discomfort.

3. Lumbar muscle strain:

Lumbar muscle strain is mainly caused by excessive weight bearing, poor waist posture and other factors, which can cause damage to the soft tissue around the lumbar spine. Patients usually have symptoms such as low back pain and limited mobility. The symptoms can be alleviated through proper rest. At the same time, you can use diclofenac diethylamine emulsion, eperisone hydrochloride tablets, ibuprofen sustained-release tablets and other drugs for treatment according to the doctor's advice.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by factors such as lumbar disc herniation. During menstruation, patients should maintain a good mood and avoid mental tension and excessive stress.
