What is the cause of lower back pain in women?

The phenomenon of low back pain in women can be said to be quite common. This situation cannot be ignored, because many gynecological diseases can cause this symptom, such as common pelvic inflammatory disease, or adnexitis, as well as low back pain during menstruation, which must be taken seriously.

1. Gynecological diseases Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease. Inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs (including: uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries), pelvic peritoneum and connective tissue around the uterus is called pelvic inflammatory disease. Female pelvic inflammatory disease can be limited to one part or occur in several parts at the same time. It is divided into acute and chronic types. Adnexitis refers to inflammation of the female reproductive appendages (fallopian tubes and ovaries), which is often accompanied by serosal inflammation of adjacent organs or pelvic peritonitis. If adnexitis is taken lightly, it is very likely to lead to infertility. In addition, pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis have many harmful effects. Long-term inflammatory damage can cause inflammation of the fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus and surrounding veins, and can also cause the lumen to narrow or close, thus hindering the passage of eggs, sperm or fertilized eggs and leading to infertility.

2. Low back pain caused by kidney deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine reminds us that kidney deficiency may cause low back pain, but you must not start replenishing the kidneys casually as soon as you have low back pain. Kidneys are the foundation of our constitution. Both men and women should pay attention to kidney health. The pain caused by kidney deficiency is a constant, dull pain in the entire waist, with soreness, weakness and powerlessness, which worsens after fatigue or sexual intercourse. The waist is the internal organ of the kidneys, and is responsible for reproduction and female menstruation. The most common type of low back pain is caused by kidney yang deficiency, which manifests as cold pain in the waist, soreness and weakness in the waist and knees. Women lose too much blood during menstruation every month, and pregnancy and childbirth will also damage their kidney energy. In addition, women who have given birth or had repeated abortions are more likely to experience this type of back pain.

3. Back pain during menstruation. Some female friends are prone to back pain before and after menstruation. This symptom is related to the physiological environment. Generally, after the menstruation, with some home care methods, the acupoints that are most effective for back pain can also be used during menstruation, and the symptoms of back pain will disappear slowly.

4. Blood stasis type low back pain. Lumbar muscle strain or sprain causes local blood stasis and poor circulation of qi and blood, leading to blood stasis type low back pain. This type of low back pain is also relatively common, and the pain manifests as local tingling and needle-like pain. In this case, we must first rule out organic diseases, such as lumbar disc herniation, kidney stones, nephritis, etc. Low back pain caused by organic diseases will last for a longer time and is difficult to distinguish from low back pain caused by blood stasis in the early stages, so examination is necessary. 5. Cold-dampness type low back pain This type of low back pain is mainly caused by wind-cold invasion of the low back. The pain is local (upper part of the waist), manifested as cold pain, and worsens on rainy days.
