Ways to get rid of back pain during periods?
-
Hello, I am 18 years old female. I have chronic lower back pain during my periods. I never experienced it earlier. It happens only when I am on period. Why do I have lower back pain when I am on my period? I consulted a doctor, and my test reports were also normal. Can anyone tell me what can be done to get rid of back pain during periods?

@aatya Hello, Back pain associated with your period can start a few days before it starts and get better after your period is over. This type of back pain is typically muscular and caused by hormonal changes. During your period, the muscular walls of your womb tighten, and this can temporarily stop oxygen from getting to your womb. When this happens, your womb releases chemicals that make you feel pain. Usually, you feel this as cramps in your tummy, but the pain can also spread to your back. If period pain in your lower back is severe, it might be a sign of a more serious condition called endometriosis. This is where the tissue that lines the womb grows in other parts of the body. Things you can do to relieve the pain are exercise, Applying heat or having a warm bath, Massage, and Relaxing activities such as breathing exercises, Pilates, and yoga help to distract you from pain. And Pilates and yoga are also useful for period pain because they provide the benefits of physical exercise and OTC medicine. Thanks!!
