What causes lower back pain in women?

Women are always weaker than men, and many women will suffer from a variety of health problems even if they only do housework at home and do not go out to work. Low back pain is a very common phenomenon. It occurs not only in women but also in men, but it is relatively more common in women. Rheumatism, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation and other problems are easier to think of, so let’s take a look at the causes of lower back pain in women.

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often misdiagnosed as lumbar disease due to low back pain

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease. “Female pelvic inflammatory disease can be confined to one area or occur in several areas at the same time. It can be divided into acute and chronic types.”

"Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease, and abdominal pain is not its only symptom." Chen Jianping introduced that chronic pelvic inflammatory disease may also manifest as soreness in the lumbosacral area. This is because when there is inflammation in the pelvic cavity, various inflammatory changes will occur in the pelvic cavity. Congestion, edema, adhesion of connective tissue, etc. will directly compress the lumbosacral nerves, causing tenderness in the waist, thereby causing irritation symptoms of lumbosacral pain.

Many women mistake the low back pain caused by pelvic inflammatory disease for lumbar muscle strain or lumbar spine problems. Therefore, when they experience low back pain, they will first go to an orthopedic department for treatment. If after examination it is found that there is indeed a problem with the lumbar spine itself, the treatment will be "stuck" on the lumbar spine problem, thus delaying the treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

If you have low back pain accompanied by abnormal menstruation and leucorrhea, you should have a pelvic examination.

Because of the limited thinking of "treating back pain with back pain", many women delay the treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. He reminded that if the low back pain is caused by chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, it is often accompanied by abnormal menstruation and leucorrhea.

Women who often suffer from low back pain should pay attention to whether their menstruation and leucorrhea are normal. Especially for leucorrhea, you can observe it from the aspects of quantity, quality, color, and taste. Generally speaking, if the leucorrhea is large in quantity, yellow in color, thick in texture, and has a foul odor, it means that the pelvic inflammation is more serious.

From this we can see that back pain is not necessarily a problem with the waist, especially for women, problems with the bilateral uterine appendages can also affect the waist. It is recommended that women who often suffer from lower back pain should go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination. Don’t just look at the lower back. Problems with the kidneys and ureters can also manifest in lower back pain, so you need to consider this carefully.
