Women always have low back pain, and there must be big trouble behind them
Women are more likely to have lower back pain in life than men. There are many reasons for this, some of which are caused by gynecological diseases, and some of which are caused by other factors.
What's going on? Take a look below.
A common cause of low back pain
1. Cold
If you don't pay attention to keeping your waist warm, you are very prone to catching a cold, especially for women with diseases such as rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis. During menstruation, childbirth and postpartum, it is more important to keep warm.
2. Kidney deficiency and yang deficiency
This condition is common in women who have had a baby, have irregular periods, or have had multiple miscarriages. Symptoms of backache, chills in the limbs, and general weakness often appear. The cause is excessive blood loss, or uterine deficiency, resulting in kidney deficiency.
3. Overwork
Due to continuous standing, the ability of lumbar tendons and ligaments to stretch is weakened, and excessive milk can accumulate locally, which can also lead to low back pain caused by lumbar muscle strain.
4. Gynecological diseases
It's not just pelvic inflammatory disease or cervicitis that can cause back pain. Diseases such as urinary tract infections, urinary stones, tuberculosis, etc., can cause low back pain.
Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to your personal hygiene, as well as the health of the genitourinary system.
5. Lumbar spine lesions
Common in older women. As we age, we tend to cause lumbar spinal stenosis, compress the spinal cord and nerve roots, resulting in low back pain and radiating pain in the lower limbs, often due to osteoporosis and vertebral collapse fractures.
What to do? Wipe your waist diligently
