This is why your back hurts when you menstruate ...

Some of the most common effects of menstruation are colic, sudden mood swings, headaches and back pain!

But, why is the latter? It is a muscle pain due to tension.

Colic and swelling can put pressure on the gluteal muscles, that is, those that form the buttocks. When enough tension is generated, the muscles can suffer a spasm, causing pain in the lower back, pelvis and buttocks.

This is also what makes you feel more like peeing, and the pain is more common when the uterus leans toward your back.

The discomfort is usually light, and if you try to relax the muscles with exercise, a hot bath, massage or whatever remedy you use for colic, will disappear.

However, if not, it could be a symptom of endometriosis, and although only 1% of women who feel pain in the buttocks are diagnosed with this disease, it is a symptom to which attention should be paid.
