Causes of back pain in girls

There are many reasons for girls' back pain, which should be analyzed in several stages. First, during menstruation and ovulation, the circulation of menstrual blood and uterine coldness will stimulate the lumbar spine and cause back pain. Women who engage in physical labor or overwork for a long time will suffer from lumbar strain and lumbar disease, which is also the main factor causing low back pain. Therefore, women should learn to relax and avoid the influence of gynecological diseases.

What causes lower back pain in women?

1. Lumbar muscle strain

People who engage in standing operations for a long time, such as in textile, printing and dyeing, chefs, restaurant employees, barbers, salesmen, etc., due to continuous standing, the stretching ability of the lumbar tendons and ligaments is weakened, 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. Frequently carrying heavy objects puts too much pressure on the waist, which can easily lead to scoliosis, lumbar muscle strain and low back pain.

2. Lumbar spine disease

It is more common in elderly women. As age increases, the symptoms of lumbar nerve compression will increase. Pseudospondylolisthesis caused by degenerative diseases is a common disease, which can easily cause lumbar spinal stenosis, compress the spinal cord and nerve roots, lead to low back pain and radiating pain in the lower limbs, and is often caused by vertebral collapse fractures due to osteoporosis. Osteophyte formation in the elderly can cause spinal stiffness and can also lead to persistent low back pain.

3. Urinary tract infection

Because the female urethra is short and straight, and the external opening of the urethra is close to the anus, E. coli often parasitizes. In addition, due to the physiological characteristics of women, the urethral opening has a greater chance of being contaminated. If hygiene is neglected, urinary tract infection is likely to occur. Low back pain is mostly caused by acute or chronic pyelonephritis, which manifests as distension and pain in the lower back and radiates along the ureter to the perineum in severe cases. In addition to urinary tract infections, urinary tract stones, tuberculosis and other diseases can also cause low back pain.

4. Cold and trauma

Women suffering from rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis are often attacked by wind, dampness and cold during menstruation, delivery and postpartum period, which causes bone spurs in the spine and induces low back pain. If the waist has been sprained, it may develop into a herniated disc, causing severe back pain and even affecting the flexion, extension and rotation of the spine.

Catching cold is a major problem for women. Now that the weather is hot, many women use fans and air conditioners. Also, there is a big temperature difference between day and night, and they don't pay attention to keeping warm, so they are very easy to catch a cold. It is recommended to stand more often, not wear too revealing clothes, and keep warm. Otherwise it will easily lead to back pain.

5. Low back pain caused by kidney deficiency and yang deficiency

This is more common in women who have given birth or had multiple miscarriages, and of course some women with irregular menstruation. They often experience symptoms such as lower back pain, cold limbs, fear of cold, and general weakness. Such results are generally caused by excessive blood loss, which damages the kidney qi. It is recommended that you eat some mutton, dog meat, leek, black fungus, black sesame, walnuts, etc. You can also go to the hospital to buy some kidney-tonifying medicine for women.

6. Reproductive organ diseases

The female reproductive organs go through menstruation about 400 times in a lifetime, and also bear the missions of pregnancy and childbirth; some women also experience abortion, sterilization surgery, etc. Therefore, the incidence of reproductive organ inflammation is high, such as salpingitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. These inflammations are prone to complications such as low back pain. Retroversion and retroflexion of the uterus are also one of the causes of low back pain in women. Serious reproductive organ diseases such as uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, and ovarian cysts can cause compressive involvement of low back pain.

7. Fatigue during pregnancy and postpartum period

During pregnancy, as the fetus grows, the ligaments of the pregnant woman's lumbar and pelvic joints relax. At the same time, the weight of the uterus also increases with the growth of fetal age, causing the body's center of gravity to move forward. In order to maintain body balance, the waist is often straightened forward. If you do not pay attention to rest, it is easy to cause back pain.

During pregnancy, the fetus needs sufficient nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus for development. If the dietary intake is insufficient, it can cause osteoporosis and decalcification in pregnant women, and can also cause low back pain. Excessive postpartum bleeding, premature labor, excessive fatigue, and cold can also cause low back pain.

8. Others

Duodenal ulcer is located in the right upper abdomen. When the ulcer is located on the posterior wall, it may manifest as pain in the lower back and back. In addition, menopausal women may also suffer from low back pain due to autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which is characterized by heaviness in the morning and relief after exercise. Other factors such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea or emotional crisis can also cause low back pain.
