Why do women's waists hurt when sitting but not when standing?

The nature of many women's work requires them to sit in the office for a long time, which leads to long-term sitting. Over time, women are more likely to experience symptoms of lower back pain. If the lower back pain only occurs when sitting, but there is no pain when standing up, then you should consider whether it is caused by an abnormality in the lumbar spine. The specific cause varies from person to person. Why do women’s waists hurt when they sit but not when they stand?

1. Female patients experience obvious pain in the lower back when sitting, which can be relieved in an upright position. This may also be due to the possibility of lumbar disc herniation. This can be further combined with lumbar disc CT. This disease is very common, especially in middle-aged and elderly patients. The cause is mainly related to acquired factors. Long-term fatigue or frequent sitting can easily induce the occurrence of this disease. The main reason is bone degenerative changes and decreased elasticity of the annulus fibrosus. Physical therapy is mainly used, such as local hot compresses and massage, traction, acupuncture, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods are relatively less traumatic. Many patients' symptoms can gradually improve. Pay attention to improving your lifestyle and avoid sitting for a long time or doing upright physical labor.

2. For women who experience waist pain when sitting but not when standing, it is mainly because they do not pay attention to their sitting posture, which will cause repeated stretching of the muscles and fascia in the waist, causing spasms of the muscles and fascia. Especially if you catch a cold while sitting without paying attention to your sitting posture, such as using air conditioning or a fan in the summer, this symptom will be particularly obvious, so you must pay special attention after this happens. Because if you don't pay attention, it can easily lead to lumbar muscle strain or even lumbar myofasciitis in the later stage. This situation can easily lead to repeated soreness and pain in the lower back when sitting in the later stages.

3. Women sit for long periods of time in their daily lives, which will cause the muscles in their waist to be tense all the time. In addition, incorrect posture in daily life will cause the muscles in the waist and back to be excessively stretched, resulting in local edema and causing pain. If you stand, you can relax the muscles in your waist and avoid pain. When women experience lower back pain, they should avoid sitting for long periods of time in their daily lives. After sitting for a period of time, they should stand up and move their waists. Also, they should pay attention to correct sitting and standing postures, and keep their waists warm.
