Causes of lumbar pain in women

Lumbar pain is not an independent disease, but a symptom of multiple diseases. Diseases such as exertional low back pain, acute and chronic low back injuries, bone hyperplasia, arthritis, kidney disease, lumbar muscle strain, and lumbar disc herniation can all cause lumbar pain. Women may experience lower back pain before normal menstruation, or severe lower back pain may be caused by gynecological inflammation. You should pay attention to taking care of yourself. If the condition is serious, you should go to the hospital for examination.

Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation. During menstruation, the endometrium is shed, the blood sinuses in the uterine cavity open, and blood clots are present, which are good conditions for bacterial growth. If you do not pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, use sanitary napkins or toilet paper that do not meet hygiene standards, or have sexual intercourse, it will provide bacteria with an opportunity for retrograde infection and lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.

Spread of inflammation to adjacent organs. The most common occurrence is when appendicitis and peritonitis occur. Since they are adjacent to the female internal reproductive organs, the inflammation can spread directly and cause female pelvic inflammation. When suffering from chronic cervicitis, the inflammation can also cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation through the lymphatic circulation.

Infection after gynecological surgery. During artificial abortion, IUD insertion or removal, tubal insufflation, salpingography, endometrial polyp removal, or submucosal uterine myoma removal, postoperative infection may occur if the disinfection is not strict or there is chronic inflammation of the reproductive system. Some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or do not follow the doctor's orders after surgery and have sexual intercourse, which can also allow bacteria to ascend and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

Women become infected after childbirth or miscarriage. The patient is weak and the cervix has not closed well after dilation. At this time, the bacteria in the vagina and cervix may ascend and infect the pelvic cavity. If there are still placenta and fetal membranes remaining in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is even greater.

The tension of women's waist muscles, fascia and ligaments around the lumbar spine is not as strong as that of men. They have poor adaptability to high-load exercise and are prone to strain. After a woman becomes pregnant, the uterus gradually enlarges, causing the lumbar spine to bend forward. The body's center of gravity shifts backward, changing the structure of the small joints of the lumbar spine and losing the normal physiological center of gravity balance, causing some of the waist muscles, fascia and ligaments to be in a state of high tension for a long time, resulting in chronic strain.
