What are the causes of low back pain in women?

Lower back and leg pain, in fact, this problem has occurred to most people. In our daily life, various environmental factors can cause the body to feel sore and weak. Waist and leg pain is even more common for people who do physical work for a long time. Generally, women not only have to do housework, but also need to work hard at the workplace and bear more responsibilities. Women are very prone to back pain. So today let’s take a detailed look at the specific causes of women’s 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."

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.

Through the above, I think everyone should understand that there are indeed many reasons why your female friends suffer from back pain. However, the editor would like to remind all female friends that if you experience long-term low back pain, you must go for a detailed examination. Although wearing high heels is beautiful, wearing them for a long time is very harmful to your health. The frequency and duration of wearing high heels should be reduced.
