To have a period means to have a menstrual period. The main causes of menstrual leg pain and weakness are heavy menstrual flow, pelvic congestion and lumbar spine lesions.
1. Heavy menstrual flow: If you have heavy bleeding during menstruation, anemia can lead to a decrease in the amount of circulating blood in the lower limbs, and therefore, soreness and weakness of the legs can occur.
2. Pelvic congestion: The shedding of the uterine lining during menstruation is accompanied by pelvic congestion. Pelvic congestion may hinder the blood circulation in the lower limbs, which in turn may cause leg soreness and weakness.
3. Lumbar spine lesions: If you suffer from lumbar spine lesions such as lumbar disc herniation and intervertebral canal stenosis, the protruding discs or narrowed intervertebral canal compress the nerves innervating the lower limbs, which can cause leg soreness and weakness.
If you have menstrual pain and weakness, you should go to the hospital in time to find out the cause, and actively cooperate with the professional doctor’s treatment.
