What causes back pain in women?

Low back pain is a symptom. Generally speaking, the causes of low back pain in men and women are different. Low back pain in women may also be physiological pain. Therefore, low back pain in women is related to many factors and may also be caused by trauma. These must be treated with care.

1. 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.

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. 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.

4. 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 distending pain in the lower back and radiates along the ureter to the perineum in severe cases.

5. 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.
