Why do my legs feel sore during my period?

Most women will experience leg and back pain during menstruation, which brings a lot of inconvenience to work and life. This situation is mostly caused by excessive menstrual bleeding, which causes the body to lose balance and leads to muscle weakness, which can easily cause back pain, leg pain and other phenomena. During this stage, you should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and supplement more nutrition to relieve pain.

There are several reasons why your legs feel sore during menstruation:

1. Heavy menstrual flow leads to menstrual anemia . Although the amount of blood can be quickly replenished through water, the amount of red blood cells cannot be replenished so quickly, which reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. The legs are the load-bearing units of the body, and the muscles cannot get enough oxygen, resulting in reduced elasticity and insufficient supporting capacity.

2. Unstable hormone levels lead to endocrine disorders, which can easily cause negative psychological emotions. It can also cause abnormal brain electrical emissions and neurotransmitters, leading to muscle weakness and back and leg pain.

Women should learn to protect themselves during menstruation and decide whether to continue working and participating in labor based on their physical condition. Experts believe that proper exercise can promote pelvic blood circulation, smooth menstrual blood flow, and relieve back and leg pain. However, if the work is strenuous or takes a long time, some adjustments should be made.

There are many reasons for dysmenorrhea, such as cold, inflammation, blood stasis, etc., but most of them are normal physiological pain. When you have dysmenorrhea, you can take some motherwort powder or brown sugar water. If it is too serious, you can also take some antipyretic and analgesic drugs. Or take painkillers. Pay more attention to rest during menstruation and avoid touching cold things.
