What to do if women have backache and lower abdominal pain

Lower back pain and lower abdominal pain in women are usually a symptom that often occurs during menstruation. However, many women still experience lower back pain even when they are not on their period. Lower abdominal pain can occur at any time and place, and sometimes it can affect a person's normal life and study. In fact, there are many reasons for lower back pain and lower abdominal pain in women. Today, let’s take a look at the causes of lower back pain and abdominal pain.

Every ward in the gynecology inpatient department is full of people, and it does not seem less crowded just because the hospital has separate departments for gynecology and pediatrics. "Back pain, lower abdominal pain, these seemingly common symptoms, actually have many hidden dangers. They may be chronic pelvic pain caused by chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic floor myofasciitis, pelvic venous congestion syndrome, endometriosis and other diseases. Chronic pelvic pain is a group of diseases caused by various reasons with pain in the pelvis and surrounding tissues as the main symptom, and the duration is more than 6 months. Chronic pelvic pain has a high incidence rate due to repeated attacks. There are more than 1,000 inpatients in the gynecology department every year, of which 40% are caused by neglect of minor illnesses." Duan Zhifang said that women should take care of themselves in their daily lives. During the Cold Dew season, they should focus on replenishing yin and maintaining health.

Even if you have a minor illness, you should follow the doctor's advice

When faced with lower back pain, many people first worry about disease in the lower back bones, guessing it may be a herniated disc or lumbar muscle strain, and thus delaying treatment. "I've had unexplained stomach pain for three years, and it comes in waves. Last month, the pain became unbearable, so I went to the hospital for a check-up." Ms. Zhu, 54, said that she didn't care about it before and just endured it, but she didn't expect it to be so serious. Ms. Zhu was diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease and showed significant improvement after more than 10 days of comprehensive hospitalization and treatment. "Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is a type of chronic pelvic pain. The incidence of chronic pelvic pain has been greatly underestimated. Many women are troubled by this problem, and long-term inexplicable pain seriously affects their quality of life.

Experts say that when inflammation occurs inside the pelvis, it can easily cause pelvic congestion, edema, and adhesions with other connective tissues, causing patients to feel soreness in the lower back, which in turn causes lumbar pain. This pain will worsen with excessive fatigue, and the symptoms are often obvious before and after menstruation. Because these activities aggravate pelvic congestion, it is easy to induce inflammation and cause repeated attacks of pelvic inflammatory disease. However, recurrent chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is not effectively treated with a single treatment method and often requires comprehensive treatment, which causes great pain to patients.

Ms. Mao, 47 years old this year, suffered from lower abdominal pain for a day and was rushed to the hospital by her family. "When the patient was sent to us, she had symptoms such as acute pain and fever. The acute inflammation was brought under control through anti-inflammatory drugs, oral Chinese medicine, enema and physical therapy." Duan Zhifang said that acute pelvic inflammatory disease is relatively sudden and will cause obvious and severe fever and abdominal pain. The patient must seek medical attention within 48 hours and use regular antibiotics for treatment. Acute inflammation can be completely cured, otherwise it is easy to cause sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease such as recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, infertility and so on.

Ms. Zhang, 42 years old, has suffered from recurrent low back pain and lower abdominal pain for 5 years. She has been to many hospitals and departments for treatment. All examination indicators are normal. Anti-inflammatory drugs have no effect. She is nervous and anxious. After examination, obvious tender points were found in the pelvic floor muscles. She was diagnosed with pelvic floor myofasciitis. After acupoint injection, pelvic floor massage, and moxibustion acupoint application, her symptoms were significantly relieved. "It can be said that chronic pelvic pain, like headaches, has extremely complex causes. For many patients, the cause cannot be determined at the moment. It may take multiple examinations to discover the final cause, and it requires multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment." Duan Zhifang said that if the patient undergoes multiple examinations and no obvious lesions are found, psychological factors may also cause chronic pelvic pain. Depression can also manifest as physical pain, which can lead to depression and anxiety. Clinically, many patients with chronic pelvic pain often have depression or sleep disorders.

Experts remind female friends to pay more attention to their own health. If they find lower back pain, they should first go to the hospital for diagnosis. Secondly, for gynecological diseases, female friends can learn appropriate basic knowledge, so that they can have basic self-diagnosis and improve their sensitivity to detecting diseases when their bodies become lesions.

During the Cold Dew season, we should focus on replenishing Yin

"Tongwei?Xiaojing Yuanshenqi" records: "Fifteen days after the autumnal equinox, the Big Dipper points to Xin, which is the Cold Dew. It means that the dew is cold and is about to condense." "Yueling 72hou Jijie" says: "The dew is cold and is about to condense." Cold Dew means that the temperature is lower than that of White Dew, the dew is colder, and the water vapor close to the ground is about to condense into frost.

During the Cold Dew season, all things gradually become depressed and decline as the cold air grows. In nature, the yin and yang energies gradually change, with the yang energy gradually declining and the yin energy gradually increasing. In terms of health preservation, we should pay attention to letting the physiological activities in the body conform to the changes in nature to ensure the balance of yin and yang in the body. According to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer, and nourishing yin in autumn and winter" emphasized in health preservation in four seasons, we must pay attention to nourishing the yin in the body during the Cold Dew season.

"The changes in the human body lag behind the change of seasons. For example, during the beginning of autumn, the weather gradually gets cooler in the morning and evening, but it's still hot at noon. The pores and skin of the human body are still in a state of being easily opened. The alternation of cold and heat can easily lead to the invasion of evil spirits, resulting in half-exterior and half-interior symptoms or interior symptoms. Activities during this season should not cause profuse sweating, and it is appropriate to consume foods and medicines that support vital energy for maintenance," said Duan Zhifang.

Experts point out that after the Cold Dew, the weather turns from cool to cold, and it becomes even colder at night. As the saying goes, "Don't expose your feet during the Cold Dew." This is a warning to people to pay attention to weather changes, pay special attention to keeping warm, add or remove clothes in time to prevent the invasion of cold evil, and especially not to go barefoot to prevent "cold from the feet."

Duan Zhifang told reporters that women should not eat too much raw or cold food. As the weather turns from hot to cool in autumn, the human body's physiological metabolism also changes in order to adapt to this change. Pay special attention to not eating too raw or cold food to avoid gastrointestinal indigestion and various digestive tract diseases.

At the same time, do not overeat and do not take excessive supplements. Chinese medicine says "replenish the deficiency and purge the excess". We must follow the principle of "don't replenish if you are not deficient" and "replenish what you lack". You can replenish what the body lacks, but it must be replenished in moderation, otherwise it will cause an imbalance of yin and yang in the human body. At the same time, we should understand that medicine is not as good as food supplements. All medicines are toxic to a certain extent. Don't use medicine if you can use food supplements.

In addition, eat less irritating, spicy, and hot foods, such as sharp peppers and peppers, and eat more vegetables, fruits, such as winter melon, radish, zucchini, eggplant, green leafy vegetables, apples, etc. In addition, we must avoid the accumulation of all kinds of damp and hot air, because all foods with spicy smells have the function of dispersing them, so it is recommended to eat some spicy foods such as celery.
