Is Lower Back Pain Normal After Menstruation?
Hi there,I have been on YAZ birth control for around 7 years and have had very mild PMS during my menstrual cycle but over the last few months, I ve noticed a large amount of bloating/distended tummy before and after my short period. This month I got my period 2 days earlier so I finished 3 days earlier but I still have lower back pain and abdominal cramps just 3 days after my period stopped as if I m still on my period.Is this normal to have pain 3 days after period ends?

Hi dear,
I understand your concern at this point of time.your symptoms like abdominal bloating and bachache are suggestive of premenstrual syndrome .Some treatment options like lifestyle changes,medications like ibuprofen or aspirin and supplements like vitamins and minerals can be tried by you to ease the symptoms .please let me know if you found my suggestion helpful .best wishes for great health .
Regards
