Why Do Women Experience Lower Back Ache and Discomfort?

Lumbar soreness seems to be a common discomfort, but it cannot be ignored in women as many gynecological diseases can lead to lumbar soreness and pain, such as menstrual disorders, pelvic effusion, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. If the lumbar soreness cannot be relieved after rest, it is advisable to undergo gynecological examination, as B-ultrasound can clearly determine whether pelvic effusion is present.

Many women suffer from lumbar muscle strain due to incorrect sitting posture or upper limbs causing excessive fatigue in the lumbar region, or due to damage to the lumbar ligaments during pregnancy and poor rest after childbirth. Most cases of lumbar muscle strain result in pain in the lumbar region, which may intensify during seasonal transitions. Additionally, some women wear high heels for aesthetic reasons, which can affect the lower limbs and lead to spinal tilt, causing lumbar pain.

If a woman has pelvic inflammatory disease, she may experience lumbar pain. The main characteristics of pelvic inflammatory disease are lumbar pain, lower abdominal pain, and increased vaginal discharge. As the inflammation worsens, it can lead to pelvic adhesions, resulting in lumbar pain.

Many women do not consume sufficient calcium in their daily lives, leading to calcium deficiency and osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can reduce the load-bearing capacity of the cervical vertebrae, causing discomfort and pain in the lumbar region during walking. Regular lumbar exercises can help increase lumbar muscle strength and prevent frequent lumbar pain. For women who frequently work at computers, exercises such as backward lumbar bending or small flying swallow exercises can effectively strengthen the lumbar muscles. However, it is crucial to ensure that there are no contraindications before performing lumbar exercises, as some lumbar injuries may not be suitable for such exercises.
