What are the causes of women's back pain?

Low back pain is a symptom. Many people have experienced low back pain. We must take the problem of pain seriously, especially women should pay more attention when they experience low back pain. When a woman has lower back pain, it may be a sign of some medical problem, so it is important to pay attention to examination and treatment to avoid worsening of the condition. So what are the causes of lower back pain in women?

1. Kidney deficiency and low back pain

Low back pain due to kidney deficiency is the most common low back pain in women. The pain is a constant, dull ache in the entire waist, with soreness, weakness and powerlessness. Worse after fatigue or sexual intercourse. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the waist is the internal organ of the kidneys, which is responsible for reproduction and female menstruation. The most common type of low back pain is caused by kidney yang deficiency, which manifests as cold pain in the waist, soreness and weakness in the waist and knees. Women lose too much blood during menstruation every month, and pregnancy and childbirth will also damage their kidney energy. Women who have given birth or had repeated abortions are more likely to experience this type of back pain.

2. Cold and dampness-induced low back pain

This type of low back pain is mainly caused by wind and cold invading the lower back. The pain is local (upper part of the waist), manifested as cold pain, and worsens on rainy days.

3. Low back pain due to blood stasis

Lumbar muscle strain or sprain causes local blood stasis and poor circulation of qi and blood, leading to blood stasis low back pain. This type of low back pain is also relatively common, and the pain manifests as local tingling and needle-like pain. In this case, we must first rule out organic diseases, such as lumbar disc herniation, kidney stones, nephritis, etc. Low back pain caused by organic diseases will last for a longer time and is difficult to distinguish from low back pain caused by blood stasis in the early stages, so examination is necessary.

4. Pelvic inflammatory disease

The low back pain caused by inflammation such as pelvic inflammatory disease is completely different from the low back pain in men and is a more common low back pain in women of childbearing age. Low back pain caused by pelvic inflammatory disease and cervicitis is relatively common in clinical practice. The pain is a sore and tired pain in the lumbar region, accompanied by a heavy pain in the lower abdomen and increased leucorrhea.
