Symptoms of lumbar disc herniation in women

Some people would say that lumbar disc herniation only occurs in male patients. Actually, it is not. Many women also suffer from lumbar disc herniation. But most women who think this way will ignore some of their own key points. Let the disease invade your own body. For women who wonder if they suffer from lumbar disc herniation, the following symptoms may provide an explanation. So what are the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation in women?

Female lumbar disc herniation

For women with lumbar disc herniation, the initial symptoms are mainly obvious soreness and pain in the middle of the lumbar sacral area, especially after bending down for activities, the symptoms are particularly obvious. Moreover, when squatting for a long time, there will be a significant soreness in the middle of the lumbar sacral region, and sometimes it will be accompanied by soreness and discomfort on one or both sides of the buttocks.

If this kind of symptom occurs, it is necessary to highly suspect the occurrence of lumbar disc herniation. In daily affairs and daily life, it is necessary to appropriately relieve the bearing capacity of the lumbar cone, avoid repeated head-down activities, and prevent trauma to the waist. And when squatting, you must pay more attention to your sitting posture to avoid aggravating the lumbar disc herniation.

How to prevent lumbar disc herniation in daily life?

Patients with lumbar disc herniation suffer greatly from the disease, which seriously affects their daily work and life. In order to effectively prevent lumbar disc herniation, you should pay attention to the following three aspects in your daily life:

First: “Sit”. The sitting posture should be correct and it is not appropriate to sit for too long. Don't sit in a half-lying position. The so-called Ge You-style crooked sitting posture is not good for a long time and is harmful to the waist, especially the intervertebral disc. The posture should be correct, and the sitting time should not be too long. For example, if you sit for about an hour, you should get up and walk around. It should not exceed an hour. If you sit for more than an hour, the waist is prone to lumbar muscle strain. Long-term lumbar muscle strain will weaken the effect of protecting the waist.

Second: Pick up hanging objects. When picking up hanging objects, do not lower your head to pick them up. Instead, rely on the strength of bending the knees and hips to extend the knees and hips to pick them up. Relying solely on the strength of the waist can easily cause damage to the psoas muscles and lumbar discs.

Third: unique position. Drivers and employees who work under heavy loads are most likely to suffer from lumbar disc herniation. Although the driving job is not very hard, the long-term sitting posture, coupled with the vibration of the engine when the car starts, is very bad for the waist, especially the intervertebral disc. Such people should also stand up and walk more as much as possible, or lie down to rest, in order to alleviate the damage to the intervertebral disc.
