What causes lumbar pain in women?

Since many women sit or stand for long periods of time, when they experience back pain, many people consider whether it is lumbar spondylosis, lumbar muscle strain, kidney disease, etc. In fact, when women get pelvic inflammatory disease, they may also experience symptoms such as lumbar pain and a feeling of falling. It may be worthwhile to go to the gynecology department for a check-up. Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the female upper reproductive tract and surrounding tissues. It includes several types of inflammation, such as endometritis, salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess, and pelvic peritonitis.

According to classification, pelvic inflammatory disease can be divided into acute and chronic types. Women who are sexually active and menstruating should be particularly alert to the following related symptoms.

1. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease

Lower abdominal pain, fever, chills, headache, and loss of appetite may occur. The patient has a high temperature, a rapid heart rate, and tenderness when pressing the lower abdomen.

Since acute pelvic inflammatory disease has an acute onset and is a serious condition, treatment should be received immediately within 1 to 2 days of the onset. However, some patients will delay for a week or even more than ten days before going to the hospital for treatment, which can easily cause adhesion of pelvic tissue, leading to salpingitis, oophoritis, etc.

2. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease

Distension and pain in the lower abdomen and soreness in the lumbar region, especially after fatigue, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation, the pain is aggravated. In addition, patients may occasionally experience low fever and fatigue.

Female patients with lumbar pain should pay attention to dietary conditioning: patients should eat a nutritious diet high in protein and vitamins, including lean meat, pork liver, tofu, chicken, fruits, vegetables, etc. Spicy and irritating foods such as tobacco, alcohol, and strong tea should be strictly prohibited. Local hot compress therapy: In order to promote the absorption of inflammation, speed up blood circulation, relieve tissue adhesion, and improve local nutrition, you can apply warm compresses to your lower abdomen every day. At home, you can use hot water bottles, electronic heaters, etc., or you can heat a cloth bag with coarse salt for hot compresses. As long as you persist, it will have a good effect.
