How to cure period back pain?

Question

Every month, during my periods, I get terrible back pain that makes it hard to do anything. I've tried heating pads and mild painkillers, but it's not enough. What else can I do to cure period back pain?

Anjali Sharma · Accepted Answer

For period back pain, a heating pad really works wonders. I just put it on my lower back while working from home. Also, try to do some light stretching if time permits. Sometimes, even just walking for 10-15 mins helps a lot.

Mere saath bhi bohot hota hai yeh back pain. I've found that drinking warm water throughout the day and taking a hot shower really eases it a bit. Par har body different hoti hai, so see what suits you.

For any kind of pain, it's important to consider your diet. Eating anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, ginger can help. And please avoid sugary snacks and processed foods, they can worsen inflammation for anyone, not just diabetics.

See, so many home remedies here. They might work for some but everyone's body is different. If the pain is severe or recurring, it's always best to consult a gynaecologist. Don't rely only on internet advice, please get it checked properly.

Period back pain? Honestly, I just try to sleep it off. If I can't, then pain balm and wishing I was a koala hugging a tree all day. Maybe a hot bath? But then I'd fall asleep in the tub.

I get back pain too during periods but never knew it was so common. Is it okay to take pain relievers, or are there better natural options? I usually just try to ignore it.

Oh god, I just went through this last month! What helped me was hot water bottle. Seriously, it's a lifesaver. And also try to avoid coffee and cold drinks around that time, I felt a difference.
