What is the reason for the pain in the right side of the waist? It is caused by these five reasons

Low back pain is a common adverse phenomenon in real life. Studies have found that urinary tract infection, lumbar muscle strain, ankylosing spondylitis, kidney disease, and incorrect sleeping posture are the key causes of this phenomenon. In order to carry out thorough and effective treatment, the cause must be identified.

1. Urinary tract infection

If urinary tract infection spreads to the renal pelvis, lower back pain will occur, and in severe cases, it can radiate along the ureter to the perineum. This is more common in women because their urethra is short and straight, and the external opening of the urethra is close to the anus, where E. coli often parasitizes. In addition, due to the physiological characteristics of women, the urethral opening has more chances of being contaminated. If hygiene is neglected, urinary tract infection is likely to occur.

2. Lumbar muscle strain

For people who work in a standing position for a long time, the stretching ability of the lumbar tendons and ligaments is weakened due to continuous standing, and excessive lactic acid can accumulate locally, inhibiting the normal metabolism of the lumbar muscles and also leading to low back pain caused by lumbar muscle strain. Abnormal standing or sitting postures, and wearing a too tight waistband can all lead to low back pain.

3. Ankylosing spondylitis

Pain and/or stiffness in the buttocks, hips, lower back and/or back occurs, especially when lying down for a long time (at night) or sitting for a long time, with difficulty turning over. There is obvious stiffness in the lower back when getting up in the morning or standing up after sitting for a long time, but the pain is relieved after activity. Some patients feel pain in the right side of the waist, which occasionally radiates to the periphery. The diagnosis can be confirmed by DR film or MRI examination.

4. Kidney disease

Low back pain is the most common symptom of kidney deficiency, which is often accompanied by decreased sexual function, decreased libido, premature aging, forgetfulness and insomnia, loss of appetite, bone and joint pain, soreness of waist and knees, fatigue intolerance and weakness. Causes: soreness, weakness, heavy pain, likes to be rubbed and pressed, worse pain after exertion, relieved by lying down, pale complexion, irritability, dry mouth, likes warmth and is afraid of cold, cold hands and feet, and lumbar disc herniation. You can go to the nephrology department for ECT examination to confirm the diagnosis.

5. Wrong sleeping posture

Although people's sleeping postures are different, they are nothing more than lying flat, lying on the side, and lying prone. Adults basically sleep in the first two types. When lying flat, if the pillow is too high or the bed is too soft, it is easy to get into a bent neck and bent waist posture. When lying on your side, if the pillow is not at the right height or the bed is too soft, scoliosis will be more obvious. Moreover, when lying on your side, the lower limb on the upper side will be adducted and slightly bent forward, which is a posture similar to crossing your legs. Therefore, if people who sleep on one side for a long time have uncomfortable bedding, it is easy to cause back pain or scoliosis.

After reading this, I believe many people understand what causes right side waist pain. I hope everyone can pay attention to it. In order not to affect people’s normal life and work, when waist pain occurs, everyone must go to the hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment in time. Also, you cannot maintain a posture for too long. When sitting for a long time, you should get up and move your waist after a period of time. If you cannot get up, you can also sit and do waist stretching exercises to avoid overwork.
