What are the causes of hip pain and backache in women?

Many women in contemporary society feel pain in the hips and back, which is a very common problem clinically. Among these women who feel back pain, some are due to overwork, some are office white-collar workers who sit for a long time, some have physiological back and hip pain, and some women suffer from gynecological diseases. If women do not take measures to treat hip pain and back pain for a long time, it will have a great impact on their health. The human back is based on the spine as its backbone. If you feel pain in your hips or lower back, it is very likely that there is a problem with your spine. If you ignore it and allow it to develop, it may seriously lead to diseases of the lower limbs or other parts of the body. Therefore, if the pain in your lower back and hips is not relieved by exercise and self-care, you should seek medical attention immediately to avoid delaying the condition.

1. Causes of hip pain and backache in women:

The main ones are muscle and ligament strain, intervertebral disc herniation, degenerative arthritis, spondylolisthesis, and musculoskeletal pain syndrome. Common causes of the above-mentioned back pain include: bending over, twisting the waist, lifting heavy objects, pushing heavy objects, falling, sitting for a long time, standing for a long time, bad posture, too soft bed, wearing high heels, pregnancy, etc. In addition, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoporosis, lumbar fractures, spinal tumors, etc. are also causes.

2. Symptoms of hip pain and backache in women:

When the spinal nerves are compressed by bone spurs or intervertebral discs, the thighs, calves and feet will become numb, and in severe cases there will be severe cramping pain. This is called sciatica. In addition, due to osteoporosis, compression fractures are prone to occur in the intervertebral vertebrae. In addition to spinal pain, the pain will also extend to the chest.

3. Health care methods for women with hip pain and backache:

1. When sitting or standing:

White-collar ladies spend most of their time sitting on chairs at work, so sitting posture is very important. When sitting, the back must be supported by the chair back. It is best if the chair back has a slightly protruding arc to support the back. In addition, you can place your knees slightly higher than your hips to reduce the pressure on your spine. Do not maintain a posture for more than an hour and then move your body slightly, which can also help improve your back health.

2. When standing:

When we stand, the spine bears all our weight, so the standing posture is very important. A normal spine has a certain curvature. Keeping and maintaining the normal curvature can reduce the pressure on the spine, so it can relieve back pain. When we need to stand for a long time, we can take turns putting one foot on a footstool about 20 to 30 centimeters high, which can reduce the pressure on the back.

3. Daily diet and health care

It may be caused by calcium deficiency. Eat more calcium-supplementing foods. If the calcium deficiency is severe, you can take calcium tablets.
