Can I use heat compress on my waist during ovulation?

Hot compress on the waist can promote the relaxation of waist muscles and joints and relieve pain and discomfort. During ovulation, these effects may be more pronounced. However, if there is an injury or disease in the lower back, applying heat may aggravate the symptoms or even cause them to worsen. In addition, hot compresses may increase body temperature and increase the risk of infection.

Therefore, heat compresses may be safe for people with healthy lower backs. However, if you have lower back pain or discomfort, it is best to seek advice from your doctor first to ensure that heat application will not negatively impact your health. If you are considering applying heat to your lower back, please note the following:

1. The time and temperature of hot compress should be moderate and excessive heating or cooling should be avoided.

2. Avoid applying hot compresses before going to bed, as this may affect sleep quality.

3. Gently massage your waist to relieve muscle tension and pain.

There are some things we can do to relieve lower back pain and discomfort during ovulation. For example, perform appropriate exercises to enhance the strength and flexibility of your waist muscles. Maintain correct sitting and standing posture and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. Maintain adequate fluid intake to maintain your body's water balance. If you have lower back pain or discomfort, it's best to seek advice from your doctor before deciding whether additional measures are needed.
