The article from MSN discusses the phenomenon of back pain experienced by many women before their menstrual period, a condition often linked to premenstrual syndrome (PMS). This back pain, which can range from mild to severe, is primarily caused by hormonal fluctuations, particularly an increase in prostaglandins which trigger uterine contractions that can also affect the back muscles. Other contributing factors include changes in fluid retention leading to bloating, and the natural curvature of the spine which can exacerbate discomfort. To manage this pain, the article suggests several strategies: using heat therapy like heating pads or warm baths to relax muscles, engaging in gentle exercises or stretches to alleviate tension, maintaining good posture, ensuring adequate hydration to reduce bloating, and considering over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary. Additionally, for those with severe or persistent symptoms, consulting a healthcare provider for possible underlying conditions or more tailored treatment options is recommended.
