Why does my waist hurt when I sleep in the middle of the night

Many of our friends sometimes suddenly have back pain in the middle of the night and wake up in pain. Both male and female friends may have experienced this situation, with symptoms such as soreness or swelling in the lower back, tingling or burning pain, restlessness, etc. So why does the lower back hurt in the middle of the night? What are some good ways to alleviate this? Next I will introduce it to you in detail.

If you feel pain in your lower back in the middle of the night, you may have lumbar muscle strain. You need to go to the hospital's orthopedic surgery department for a check-up and diagnosis, and actively receive symptomatic treatment based on the cause.

Usually you should pay attention to:

1. Prevent dampness and cold. Don't sleep in a damp place. Add clothes at any time according to climate changes. After sweating or raining, change wet clothes or dry your body in time. When the weather is cold, you can use an electric blanket or sleep on a heated kang.

2. Acute lumbar sprain should be treated actively and the patient should rest assured to prevent it from becoming a chronic condition.

3. Do warm-up exercises before doing sports or strenuous activities.

4. Correct bad working posture, such as bending over for too long, or leaning over the desk too low, etc.

5. Prevent overwork. People are like machines. Excessive operation or overload will inevitably lead to damage to certain parts or the entire machine. The waist is the center of human movement. If it is overworked, it will inevitably cause injury and low back pain. Therefore, pay attention to working and resting in all kinds of work or labor.

6. Use a hard and soft bed. Sleep is an important part of people's lives. The suitability of the bed directly affects people's health. A mattress that is too soft cannot maintain the normal physiological curvature of the spine, so it is best to add a 10-cm thick cushion on the wooden board.

7. Pay attention to losing weight and controlling your weight. Being too fat will inevitably bring extra burden to the waist, especially for middle-aged people and women after childbirth, which are periods when it is easy to gain weight. It is necessary to control your diet and increase exercise.

8. Exercise moderation in sexual intercourse. “The waist is the home of the kidneys.” Excessive sexual intercourse will inevitably damage the kidneys. Kidney deficiency will cause lower back pain.
