What causes lumbar pain in women

Many people will experience lumbar pain in their lives, including men, women, young and old. However, compared with men, women have a slightly weaker constitution, and there are organs such as the uterus in the waist, so lumbar pain needs to be treated more carefully than other people. And women have some special reasons for lumbar pain compared to other people. I hope everyone can pay attention to the reasons for women's lumbar pain.

Low back pain symptoms in women in daily life may be caused by various reasons such as work, living habits, and women's physiological characteristics.

Pregnant

After pregnancy, the supporting strength of the pregnant woman's abdominal muscles decreases and the spine has to bear more pressure. At the same time, incorrect sitting posture, changes in hormone levels and other reasons can also cause loose joints. This lumbar pain will disappear with the birth of the child.

Being sedentary

Sitting for long periods of time is the most common cause of lower back pain. Office women maintain the same posture for a long time, which causes the lumbar muscles to atrophy day by day, increasing the pressure in the intervertebral disc and leading to the appearance of symptoms.

Menstrual period

Young women may experience lower back pain during their menstrual period due to emotional changes and changes in hormone levels, but most of these symptoms will disappear naturally with the end of the menstrual cycle.

Household chores

Women always bend over when doing housework, and often use one side to exert force when sweeping or mopping the floor. This can easily put more pressure on the waist and back, leading to lumbar spine lesions.

The upper part is too full

An overly full upper body can affect the normal physiological curvature and stress points of the spine, and being "excessive weight" can cause changes in the spine. Therefore, women with fuller bust must wear a suitable bra, and it is best to wear a tight bra when exercising to reduce the burden on the back.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is the number one cause of low back pain. Because women's bones are thinner and lighter than men's, they are more likely to develop osteoporosis. Once osteoporosis occurs, the thickness of the spine will change, the person will become shorter, and there will be problems with force application, leading to low back pain.

Women must pay attention to the protection of their lumbar spine and must not ignore the possibility of lumbar spine pathology. Refer to the above points and install a "safety bolt" for your lumbar spine health. In addition, if any lesions occur, please go to the neurosurgery department in time and do not delay.
