Why does my waist and lower abdomen hurt?

Pain is a phenomenon that people often feel in life. Pain is also a feeling of people. At the same time, the specific location of the pain and other conditions can be used to understand the health status of the body. Therefore, people cannot ignore the pain. For example, many women often feel pain in the waist and lower abdomen, which has a certain impact on women’s lives. Let’s take a look at what is going on with the pain in the waist and lower abdomen?

1. Lower abdominal pain may be caused by the following reasons: acute inflammation of pelvic organs, such as adnexitis and localized enteritis; perforation or rupture of pelvic and abdominal organs, such as ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cyst rupture, gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric cancer, appendicitis, gallbladder perforation and rupture of appendix abscess, among which rupture of ectopic pregnancy and perforation of appendix abscess are the most common. In addition, acute intestinal obstruction, stones in abdominal organs, acute blood flow disorders in pelvic organs, such as ovarian tumor torsion, hydrosalpinx torsion, intestinal torsion, as well as parasites, dysmenorrhea, and pelvic and abdominal trauma can all cause acute lower abdominal pain.

Some abdominal pain occurs at or near the lesion site, while others are not at the lesion site. As the disease progresses, the location of the abdominal pain changes. There are two types of abdominal pain:

(1) The location of pain is organ pain, that is, pain in the diseased organ itself.

(2) Referred pain radiating to the body wall. The former can also be converted into the latter. Gynecological acute abdomen often manifests as organ pain, such as ovarian tumor pedicle torsion and hydrosalpinx torsion. However, there are also cases where the patient first feels abdominal pain in the affected area and then the condition changes later on, so special attention should be paid to referred pain.

2. Low back pain is a common clinical symptom, with pain mainly on one or both sides of the waist, which can often radiate to the legs and is often accompanied by symptoms of external or internal injuries. There are many causes of low back pain. In addition to musculoskeletal diseases and injuries, diseases of other organs can also cause low back pain. Low back pain can occur due to urinary tract inflammation or stones, glomerulonephritis, certain women's diseases (pelvic inflammatory disease, retroverted uterus, etc.), pregnancy, lumbar radiculitis and certain abdominal diseases. Low back pain can be treated with surgical and non-surgical treatments. Non-surgical methods include medication and local blockade; surgical treatment should strictly follow the indications.
