Men's back pain troubles, unexpected triggering factors

Do male friends occasionally find that their lower back hurts? Some friends think that lower back pain is caused by kidney deficiency. In fact, lower back pain is not entirely caused by kidney deficiency. Let us explore the causes of lower back pain in men.

1. Lumbar spine disease

Lumbar spine disease can also cause low back pain, and as you age, the symptoms of lumbar nerve compression will increase. Pseudospondylolisthesis caused by degenerative diseases is a common disease, which can easily cause lumbar spinal stenosis, compress the spinal cord and nerve roots, lead to low back pain and radiating pain in the lower limbs, and is often caused by vertebral collapse fractures due to osteoporosis. Osteophyte formation in the elderly can cause spinal stiffness and can also lead to persistent low back pain.

2. Hydronephrosis

Hydronephrosis is a pathological change in the kidneys caused by ureteral obstruction due to ureteral stones, tumors, congenital diseases, etc., which prevents urine from being discharged into the bladder smoothly. The main symptoms of hydronephrosis are soreness and swelling on one side of the waist.

3. Unhealthy sex life

Having sex too frequently can cause strain-related low back pain, but not having sex to the fullest can also cause neuralgic low back pain. Therefore, when engaging in sexual intercourse, both parties must maintain an appropriate frequency and act within their capabilities.

4. Prostate problems

The most common prostate problem is prostatitis, which not only causes lower abdominal pain and perineal pain, but also low back pain. However, the low back pain caused by prostatitis is mostly in the lower back, which is somewhat different from the low back pain caused by other symptoms.

5. Lumbar injury

Low back pain may also be caused by lumbar muscle strain. Standing for long periods of time and carrying too much weight can lead to lumbar muscle strain.

6. Urinary system

Many patients with pyelonephritis also experience symptoms of low back pain, but this type of low back pain is mainly bloating. In addition, urinary system stones and tuberculosis can also cause low back pain, but its characteristics are hematuria accompanied by renal colic, or symptoms such as interrupted urination, difficulty urinating, hematuria, and low back pain. Pyelonephritis is characterized by hematuria accompanied by dysuria, hematuria, frequent urination, back pain, and fever.

7. Kidney deficiency

Men are very worried about kidney deficiency, which not only makes them lack confidence, but also makes them feel powerless in their sex life. How to determine whether low back pain is caused by kidney deficiency? In addition to low back pain, the symptoms of kidney deficiency include premature aging, forgetfulness and insomnia, loss of appetite, bone and joint pain, weakness in the waist and knees, fatigue intolerance, and weakness. In addition, kidney deficiency also manifests itself in the urinary system: symptoms such as frequent urination and clear and long urination will appear.
