Does my herniated disc get worse while im on my period?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
NO: however, menstrual cramping can conversely cause lower back and pelvic pain. You can try using Aleve (naproxen) or Advil if not allergic to these medicines.

Not typically : The disc germination can become more symptomatic during your period for a number of reasons, but the period itself should not make the hernia toon itself any worse.
