What is the area above the waist?

The waist is the most important support for the entire body, surrounded by many organs and tissues. Generally, the area above the waist is the distribution area of the kidneys, while the area above the right waist is the distribution area of the gallbladder and liver. Below the waist are the coccyx and sacrum. Therefore, pain in different parts of the waist is mainly related to abnormalities in the organs of the corresponding areas, and it is necessary to examine the corresponding areas.

The reflection area above the waist is the kidneys, and the pain may be related to kidney and liver diseases, usually manifesting as paroxysmal discomfort and soreness in the waist. Below the waist and above the hips are the sacrum and coccyx. The sacrum is composed of the fusion of five sacral vertebrae, forming an inverted triangle that constitutes the posterior wall of the pelvic ring. The upper end is broad and forms a lumbosacral angle with the fifth lumbar vertebra, and the lower end is the sacral apex connected to the coccyx. Both sides of the sacrum form the sacroiliac joint with the ilium, and there are two rows of anterior sacral foramina on both sides of the median line of the sacrum, four on each side.

The upper part of the right waist is the liver and gallbladder. If there is pain or discomfort, it is necessary to consider whether there are lesions in the liver or gallbladder. Gallbladder lesions are more common, mainly gallbladder stones or gallbladder polyps, which can be accompanied by chronic or acute gallbladder inflammation. The pain is mainly located in the right upper abdomen, and the nature of the pain is usually severe. At the same time, there may be some gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Vomiting usually involves the contents of the stomach, and fever may occur when the inflammation is severe.

There are various causes of waist pain, including lesions of internal organs, strain of the waist muscles, lesions of the lumbar spine, and gynecological inflammation. It is recommended to avoid bending over excessively, and regularly practice walking backwards to relieve intervertebral pressure. Heavy work should be avoided, and movements that place a heavy load on the waist should be minimized. It is also important to develop good habits in daily life, such as moving around after sitting or standing for a long time, avoiding crossing legs, not sitting on sofas or low seats, and sleeping on a hard bed.
