A woman's back pain and buttocks pain

If a woman simply has back pain, there are many reasons for it, such as cold, pregnancy, miscarriage, fatigue, etc., but if the back pain is accompanied by buttock pain, it is no longer a trivial matter. In this case, you must first check whether it is sciatica. When the disease worsens, some normal activities will be restricted, but it will also give the patient some signals in the early stages, among which waist and buttock pain is one of them. The pain will also be aggravated when walking or bending over. Sciatica must be treated as soon as possible.

Why does a woman have back pain and butt pain?

If you always feel pain in your waist, legs, and buttocks after sitting for two or three hours in a row, it is very likely that you have sciatica.

Sciatica is a syndrome characterized by pain in the sciatic nerve pathway and its distribution area. Most of the time, the pain is continuous and worsens in paroxysmal ways. Intermittent pain rarely occurs. The pain radiates from the buttocks, along the back of the thigh and the outside of the calf to the foot. The pain worsens when walking, coughing, sneezing, bending over, or moving the lower limbs.

Sciatica is a common and frequently occurring disease in orthopedics, and judging from the incidence trend, this disease has affected all age groups.

Common signs of sciatica pain:

1. Pain in the affected lower limb

If you suffer from sciatica, you can clearly feel pain in the affected lower limbs and waist. The pain is characterized by persistent dull pain or stabbing pain, and is aggravated by coughing, sneezing, exerting force, etc. The pain can be relieved by flexing the knees and hips or lying on the healthy side to rest. Sitting is more painful than walking.

2. Limping

Lameness is closely related to sciatica because in diseases that can cause sciatica, walking can aggravate the shrinkage of the lumbar spinal canal and intervertebral foramen, compressing the sciatic nerve and causing pain, thus causing lameness. If the patient changes his posture by squatting, sitting down or lying down, the state of the spinal canal is improved, the source of stimulation during lower limb muscle activity is eliminated, and the symptoms will be alleviated or disappear.

3. Limited activity

Patients with sciatica caused by lumbar disc herniation may experience obvious limitation of lumbar movement; patients with sciatica caused by sacroiliac joint disease may experience limitation of cross-legged movement; patients with sciatica caused by piriformis injury syndrome may experience limitation of internal and external rotation and abduction of the affected limb.

Massage methods to relieve sciatica pain:

1. Shake your abdominal muscles

Use one palm to vibrate the abdomen. When doing this, the rapid swing of the wrist joint should drive the vibration of the side palm. This method has the effect of regulating qi and lungs, balancing yin and yang, and dispersing wind and activating blood circulation.

2. Pinch the lower limbs

Put the thumbs and other four fingers of both hands together, and pinch the patient's thighs to the ankles, from top to bottom, repeatedly. This method has the effect of unblocking meridians and benefiting the kidneys.

3. Punch Roll Lower Limbs

Make a fist with one hand and press the patient's lower limbs from top to bottom repeatedly. This method can regulate qi, relieve pain, unblock meridians and dispel cold.

4. Press and knead the anterior thigh muscle

Open the palms of both hands, hold the patient's lower limbs, press the thigh muscles with the thumbs, and apply vertical force downward. This method has the effect of relieving fatigue and promoting qi and blood circulation.

5. Leg stretching

Hold the patient's ankles with both hands and stretch his lower limbs forcefully. This method can dredge the blood vessels, lubricate the joints, and loosen adhesions.

Things to note when you are suffering from sciatica:

(1) Sciatica patients can achieve better results by massaging for 10 to 20 minutes every day.

(2) During the onset of sciatica, you should sleep on a hard bed and rest in bed, which will help relieve symptoms. However, the bed rest time should not exceed 3 to 4 weeks. When the symptoms are relieved, you can gradually get out of bed and exercise.

(3) Patients should keep warm and avoid moisture and wind and cold.

(4) Patients should strengthen their physical exercise and pay attention to their activities and working posture.

What is the reason for pain in the middle of the female hips and waist?

In fact, it can be considered the cause of lumbosacral pain. There are many causes of lumbar pain. In general, it may be congenital factors and acquired strain of the lumbar region. Congenital factors such as occult sacral spondylolisthesis, lumbar spondylolisthesis, etc., lumbar spondylolisthesis may also be acquired; there are also lumbar muscle strain, intervertebral disc herniation, spinal canal stenosis, or local lesions, tumors, tuberculosis, etc., which may cause pain and discomfort in this area. In the early stage, soreness may be the main symptom. So this issue is relatively simple. To see a doctor, you need symptoms and signs.

The so-called symptoms are where the discomfort occurs, how long it lasts, how severe the pain is, and whether there are other problems. All of these need to be expressed together. Physical signs are the problems found by the doctor during the examination. The doctor will then make a preliminary judgment based on the symptoms and signs and guide what corresponding examinations to do. A diagnosis is then made based on the test results, and treatment is determined based on the diagnosis.

Causes of low back pain in women:

1. Cold

Wind-cold is a factor. When the weather is hot, women never stop using electric fans or air conditioners. When sleeping, the temperature difference between day and night may be large, and if they do not keep warm in time, they may catch a cold.

At the same time, women prefer tight clothes and navel-revealing clothes, and wearing clothes that are too sexy and revealing will aggravate the cold and cause back pain.

2. Overwork

Fatigue has become the second factor. Overwork requires more attention. Some women need to stand or sit for a long time while working. Maintaining this posture for a long time may not be conducive to the circulation of local blood.

Generally speaking, it is very good for people who sit for a long time to stand up and walk around after working for a period of time, to activate their limbs and promote blood circulation.

3. Osteoporosis

Speaking of this, many women don’t believe it. In fact, osteoporosis needs attention and can cause back pain, especially in menopausal women. Because after menopause, the spinal capacity decreases.

When the body is bearing weight, back pain will occur. Proper calcium supplementation can relieve the pain. The best time to supplement calcium is between 20 and 30 years old, so everyone needs to pay more attention.

4. Excessive miscarriage

Miscarriage is a painful memory for women. However, women often suffer from miscarriages, and some have a constitution that makes them prone to habitual miscarriage. It may even affect the kidneys, which may cause damage to the kidneys and easily cause low back pain.

5. Pregnancy

If you experience back pain during pregnancy, it is something that needs your attention. As the fetus grows, the abdomen becomes larger day by day, and the woman's sacrospinous ligament becomes relaxed, which can compress the pelvic nerves.

The increasing pressure on the waist will cause low back pain. It should be noted that in normal times, you should not sit for long periods of time. Standing up and walking around appropriately, and taking a walk every day is an excellent way.

6. Spinal lesions

When people have lower back pain, they will think of the spine. Indeed, spinal injuries, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and catching a cold during confinement can all cause lower back pain.

It is common for women to experience low back pain. We need to pay more attention to the causes of low back pain. In daily health care, we should avoid these misunderstandings and take scientific and reasonable health care to avoid big troubles.
