Are heating pads ok?

Question

I’m 4 weeks and 6 days and having horrible bad like cramping and lower back pain. I went to the doctor and he said as long as I’m not bleeding women can experience menstrual symptoms around the time AF was due. AF was due this weekend. I have been using the heating pad on my lower back to help alleviate the pain. Just wondering if this is okay?

Answer

From my understanding you can use a heating pad on your back just not on your stomach/uterus and dont use it for long periods of time as it can raise your temperature.

Answer

My ob said it was okay because it’s isolated heat and won’t raise you core temperature.
