What should I do if I have lower back pain during menstruation? Next, I will introduce them one by one for your reference.

　　Why do girls get back pain during special periods?

　　1. Lumbar muscle strain.

　　female What is the cause of back pain? Lumbar muscle strain is the primary cause. For people who have been engaged in standing work for a long time, due to continuous standing, the stretching ability of the lumbar tendons and ligaments is weakened, and excessive lactic acid can accumulate locally, inhibiting the normal metabolism of the lumbar muscles, and can also lead to low back pain caused by lumbar muscle strain. Abnormal standing and sitting postures, tight waistbands, etc. can all lead to back pain.

　　2. Urinary system infection.

　　Because the female urethra is short and straight, and the external urethral opening is close to the anus, E. coli is often parasitic. In addition, due to female physiological characteristics, there are more opportunities for contamination of the urethral opening. If hygiene is ignored, urinary tract infections are prone to occur. This is one of the reasons why friends wonder what causes women’s back pain. Often manifested as waist distended pain , In severe cases, it radiates along the ureter to the perineum. In addition to urinary system infections, diseases such as urinary tract stones and tuberculosis can also cause low back pain。

Pelvic tumors such as Uterine fibroids ,son cervical cancer , patients with ovarian cysts will suffer from tumor compression nerve Or cancer cells infiltrate the pelvic connective tissue and cause low back pain. In addition, abnormal uterine position such as uterine anteversion, retroflexion, prolapse, etc. can also cause low back pain.

Excessive bleeding during the puerperium, premature labor, overexertion, cold, etc. can also cause low back pain.
