Hormonal health is very much linked to your general health, so the best way to take care of yourself is to follow the general guidelines for good health that apply to all of us.

Many health care professionals believe there is an association between oral contraceptive use and LBP. However, scientific evidence for this association is scarce or not supportive. Duration of oral contraceptive use, number of children, estrogen use during menopause, young maternal age at first birth, irregular or prolonged menstruation, and hysterectomies were associated with chronic LBP.

How can oral contraception cause low back pain?

Many women with back pain have been told by their caregiver to stop using oral contraception. During pregnancy, the supporting ligaments of the pelvis and low back start to relax and loosen in order to allow the baby to pass through the birth canal. Relaxin is the hormone responsible for this ligamentous laxity.

If you have low back pain, please avoid oral contraception and hormone replacement therapy.
