Low back pain is more common among adults, but it is rare in children. Once a child has low back pain, parents must pay attention to it. There are many reasons for low back pain in children, both physiological and disease reasons.

Of course, we must also be alert to some causes such as stones and urinary system inflammation.

What are the causes of back pain in children?

1. Menstruation

If a 12-year-old girl has not yet reached her first menstruation, excluding other causes, the back pain may also be caused by sexual development and menstruation. Because 12-year-old girls have entered puberty and living standards have improved a lot now, it is normal for 12-year-old girls to have menstruation. Therefore, in the recent period, you should pay attention to whether it is menstruation, keep warm, and try to eat light and nutritious food.

2. Lumbar muscle strain

It may also be that local soft tissue damage causes pathological damage to the skin, muscles, tendons, intervertebral discs, peripheral nerves and blood vessels of the human body. Local blockade treatment can be done with better results. In addition, excessive fatigue and improper waist posture for a long time will cause poor blood circulation in the muscles and strain on the lumbar muscles, which can also lead to low back pain. Therefore, in life, we should avoid sitting for long periods of time or excessive weight-bearing work, do appropriate exercise, apply hot water to the waist, and try to sleep on a hard bed.

3. See a doctor

If a 12-year-old girl has symptoms of low back pain, and has ruled out other causes of low back pain caused by trauma to the limbs, it is best to seek medical attention in a timely manner. A lumbar spine X-ray can be taken to check for occult spina bifida, or a urine routine test can be done to check for the possibility of kidney disease, or other causes. If you seek medical treatment, you can better identify the cause of the disease and take targeted measures in a timely manner.
