Pain above waist and below back

In life, many people often feel pain above the waist and below the back. In fact, there are many organs in this area of ​​the body. If it is just flesh pain, it may be caused by accidental touch. If it is the kind of pain from the inside out, it is likely that there is a problem with the internal organs. If this phenomenon persists, you need to see a doctor. So, which parts of the back above the waist will be abnormal if there is pain?

1. Abnormal uterine position

Low back pain is caused by uterine position such as anteversion, retroflexion, and prolapse. There is no special treatment for this type of low back pain. Correcting uterine prolapse and changing body position can relieve the symptoms.

2. Lumbar disc herniation

This disease is a common cause of low back pain in young and middle-aged women. It is mostly caused by lumbar injury and long-term chronic strain, and manifests as lumbar pain, radiating pain and numbness in the lower limbs, etc. Treatments include bed traction and surgery.

3. Pelvic tumors

Patients with uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, and ovarian cysts may experience low back pain due to tumor compression of nerves or cancer cells infiltrating the pelvic connective tissue. This type of patients often have widespread pain in the entire abdomen when they have low back pain, and drug treatment is often ineffective.

4. Pelvic inflammatory disease

The low back pain caused by inflammation such as pelvic inflammatory disease is completely different from the low back pain in men and is a more common low back pain in women of childbearing age. Low back pain caused by pelvic inflammatory disease and cervicitis is relatively common in clinical practice. The pain is a sore and tired pain in the lumbar region, accompanied by a heavy pain in the lower abdomen and increased leucorrhea.

5. Lumbar muscle strain

People who work in certain jobs are prone to lumbar muscle strain, such as barbering, salesperson, nursing, etc. This is because continuous standing causes strain on the lumbar ligaments and causes pain. Or often carrying heavy objects puts too much burden on the waist, causing lumbar muscle strain and thus back pain.

6. Low back pain due to blood stasis

Lumbar muscle strain or sprain causes local blood stasis and poor circulation of qi and blood, leading to blood stasis low back pain. This type of low back pain is also relatively common, and the pain manifests as local tingling and needle-like pain. In this case, we must first rule out organic diseases, such as lumbar disc herniation, kidney stones, nephritis, etc. Low back pain caused by organic diseases will last for a longer time and is difficult to distinguish from low back pain caused by blood stasis in the early stages, so examination is necessary.
