A member asked:

I always get mild low back ache 7 days before period , could this be due to progesterone peak.i do not suffer with heavy or painful periods.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back pain: Menstural flow is preceded by pelvic congestion which is mediated by Progesterone as such Progesterone is not causing the pain make sure you donot have pelvic pathology such as a large fibroid or retroverted uterus.
