The treatment method for women’s back pain is revealed, don’t miss it!

Whether you are standing or sitting, it is normal to have back pain while working. Women are more likely to experience lower back pain, especially during menstruation, pregnancy and postpartum. This is all caused by not exercising for a long time. How to relieve women’s lower back pain?

1. Physiological characteristics such as menstruation and pregnancy

One important reason why women are more prone to back pain than men is that women have to go through special physiological periods such as menstruation, pregnancy and postpartum period. Experts said: "Some girls also eat cold drinks and other raw and cold foods during menstruation. This can easily lead to blood stagnation and meridian blockage in the long run, which in turn leads to dysmenorrhea. Some women do not pay attention to rest during menstruation, so they always feel back pain every time their menstruation comes."

Experts point out that after a woman becomes pregnant, as the pregnancy progresses, the uterus slowly enlarges and the support force of the waist continues to increase. The round ligament of the uterus relaxes due to long-term traction, which can cause the sacrospinous ligament to relax and compress the pelvic nerves and blood vessels. Therefore, many expectant mothers will feel back pain. "This type of back pain generally disappears gradually as the back muscle strength recovers after childbirth."

In addition, insufficient intake of nutrients in the diet during pregnancy causes calcium deficiency in pregnant women, which can also cause low back pain.

2. Lumbar muscle strain

Lumbar muscle strain is another possible cause of low back pain in women. Experts point out that maintaining a posture for a long time, such as standing for a long time, carrying heavy objects for a long time, etc., can weaken the stretching ability of the lumbar tendons and ligaments, accumulate excessive lactic acid locally, inhibit the normal metabolic activity of the lumbar muscles, and cause lumbar muscle strain and cause low back pain.

"Generally speaking, true lumbar muscle strain will change with the climate and labor intensity, sometimes severe and sometimes mild, so it is particularly important to pay attention to the combination of work and rest. When the body is overly tired, or adopts abnormal standing or sitting postures, it can lead to lumbar muscle strain and cause chronic dull pain in the waist."

3. Wearing high heels for a long time

Many women who love beauty like to wear high heels. Experts remind that although wearing high heels can make the body look more slender, wearing high heels for a long time will affect the balance of the lower limbs, and standing and walking will not be able to be done as desired. The reaction and coordination ability of the whole body will decrease, and it is also easy to suffer from acute lumbar sprain, leading to low back pain, which brings great inconvenience to work and life.

4. Urinary tract infection

From the physiological anatomy of the urethra, the female urethra is short and straight, and the external urethral opening is close to the anus. Coupled with some physiological reasons, women are more likely to develop urinary tract infections than men. This type of urinary tract infection often causes swelling and pain in the lower back. In severe cases, the pain will radiate along the ureter to the perineum. In addition, urinary stones, kidney stones, etc. can also cause low back pain. Therefore, women must pay attention to maintaining the hygiene of the vulva.

5. Spine and lumbar lesions

Some women with rheumatism, arthritis, and lumbar disc herniation may also suffer from low back pain due to compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots. Sacroiliac joint sprain is one of the most common causes of lower back pain. Endocrine effects in late pregnancy can cause ligament relaxation and make sprains more likely, while prolonged walking in the early postpartum period can also cause it. It is often manifested as persistent local pain, fear of weight bearing, aggravation during activity, and difficulty turning over.

6. Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is the most common cause of low back pain in middle-aged and elderly women. Especially after menopause in women, due to the decrease in bone mass in the spine and the reduction in the load-bearing capacity of the spine, the body will experience low back pain when bearing weight or even walking. Therefore, women should pay attention to calcium supplementation, especially when they are 20 to 30 years old, because this is the best time for women to store calcium in their lives.

7. Diseases of the uterus, appendages, etc.

Experts point out that pelvic inflammatory disease is one of the most common causes of low back pain in women. It is characterized by three major symptoms: low back pain, intermittent pain in the lower abdomen, and increased vaginal discharge. When the inflammatory exudate increases and causes pelvic adhesions, it can cause low back pain and seriously affect the patient's life.

"When the uterus is retroflexed or tilted backward, the ligaments are over-stretched and some nerves are compressed, it can also cause low back pain." Experts say that this situation often occurs after frequent abortions, multiple births or other uterine surgeries. In addition, uterine prolapse, prolapse, or high adhesions in the abdominal cavity can also pull on the ligaments and cause low back pain.

The traction of pelvic tumors on the peritoneum can also cause low back pain. "Pelvic tumors are more common in middle-aged women, such as uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, ovarian cysts, etc. Low back pain occurs because the tumor compresses the nerves or cancer cells infiltrate the pelvic connective tissue."

Abnormalities of the IUD include the IUD model not matching the uterine cavity, the IUD being too elastic, or the IUD being in an abnormal position. An improperly placed IUD gets lodged in the uterine cavity, irritating the uterine wall and causing reflex lower back pain. In this case, the IUD can be removed and replaced.

Experts remind us: "From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, too many births, too many artificial abortions and excessive sexual intercourse can all cause kidney damage and lead to low back pain. Long-term exposure to cold and dampness can also block the meridians, leading to poor blood circulation and low back pain."
