Leg soreness during menstruation is usually a physiological phenomenon. Keep warm during your period, avoid catching a cold, engage in moderate exercise, and take ibuprofen if necessary. If symptoms persist, it could be due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a trace element test and increase intake of dairy and soy products in daily diet. Avoid junk food and keep your legs warm. Refrain from consuming raw or cold foods, as they may impair spleen function and exacerbate dampness and coldness. Additionally, develop the healthy habit of soaking your feet before bedtime.
