What is causing the pain on the right side of my waist?

If you often feel pain on the right side of your waist, you should pay attention to whether it is caused by not keeping warm and causing your waist to catch cold, allowing some moisture and cold air to invade. If it is kidney deficiency or lumbar muscle strain, this symptom will usually appear.

1. Cold waist: The waist is attacked by wind, dampness and cold, which can also cause inflammation of the waist muscles and ligaments and cause low back pain.

Ankylosing spondylitis: pain and/or stiffness in the buttocks, hips, lower back and/or back, especially when lying down (at night) or sitting for a long time, difficulty turning over, obvious stiffness in the lower back when getting up in the morning or standing up after sitting for a long time, but the pain is relieved after activity. Some patients feel severe pain in the buttocks and hips, which occasionally radiates to the surrounding areas. The diagnosis can be confirmed by DR film or MRI examination.

2. Kidney deficiency and kidney disease: Low back pain is the most common symptom of kidney deficiency, which is often accompanied by decreased sexual function, decreased libido, premature aging, forgetfulness and insomnia, loss of appetite, bone and joint pain, soreness in the waist and knees, fatigue intolerance and weakness. Causes: soreness, weakness, heavy pain, likes to be rubbed and pressed, worse pain after exertion, relieved by lying down, pale complexion, irritability, dry mouth, likes warmth and is afraid of cold, cold hands and feet, and lumbar disc herniation. You can go to the nephrology department for ECT examination to confirm the diagnosis.

3. Lumbar muscle strain: Injury of the lumbar muscle membrane and ligaments, chronic fatigue strain, muscle stiffness, and continuous accumulation of excessive lactic acid in the local area inhibit the normal metabolism of the lumbar muscles. This type of low back pain is often limited to the muscles of the original injured area, and the farthest extends to the buttocks or thighs. Symptoms are mostly soreness.

4. Urinary tract infection: Urinary tract infection extending to the renal pelvis will cause swelling and pain in the lower back. In severe cases, it will radiate along the ureter to the perineum. This is more common in women because their urethra is short and straight, and the external opening of the urethra is close to the anus, where E. coli often parasitizes. In addition, due to the physiological characteristics of women, the urethral opening has more chances of being contaminated. If hygiene is neglected, urinary tract infection is likely to occur. Especially during the honeymoon period, frequent sexual intercourse makes women more likely to suffer from urinary tract infections.
