Pain on the right side of my waist

The waist is an important part of the human body. If there is a lesion in the waist, the impact on the human body can be said to be systemic. If the symptoms are severe, the patient may even be bedridden and unable to walk or stand. Pain in the right back of the waist is most likely related to factors such as kidney yang deficiency, blood stasis, urinary tract infection or inflammation of the female reproductive organs. Below we will introduce in detail the diseases that are likely to cause right side low back pain.

1. Low back pain due to kidney yang deficiency

Low back pain due to kidney deficiency is a common type of low back pain. The pain is a constant, dull ache in the entire waist, with soreness, weakness and powerlessness. Worse after fatigue or sexual intercourse. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the waist is the internal organ of the kidneys, which is responsible for reproduction and female menstruation.

Common symptoms include low back pain, cold pain in the waist, and soreness and weakness in the waist and knees caused by kidney yang deficiency. Women who lose too much blood every month and at the same time shoulder the responsibilities of pregnancy and childbirth will damage their kidney energy. Women who have given birth or had repeated abortions are more likely to experience this type of back pain.

Low back pain due to cold and dampness is mainly caused by wind and cold invading the low back. The pain is local (upper part of the waist), manifested as cold pain, and worsens on rainy days.

2. Low back pain caused by blood stasis

Lumbar muscle strain or sprain causes local congestion and poor circulation of qi and blood. 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, especially for computer users.

3. Urinary tract infection causes back pain

Because the female urethra is short and straight, and the external opening of the urethra is close to the anus, E. coli often parasitizes. In addition, due to the physiological characteristics of women, the urethral opening has a greater chance of being contaminated. If hygiene is neglected, urinary tract infection is likely to occur. This is also one of the reasons why friends wonder what causes women's back pain. It often manifests as distension and pain in the lower back, and in severe cases, it radiates along the ureter to the perineum. In addition to urinary tract infections, urinary tract stones, tuberculosis and other diseases can also cause low back pain.

4. Low back pain caused by inflammation of female reproductive organs

Such as chronic adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, salpingitis, etc., these inflammations are prone to be complicated by low back pain. Patients with pelvic tumors such as uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, and ovarian cysts may experience low back pain due to tumor compression of nerves or infiltration of cancer cells into the pelvic connective tissue.
