Why do both sides of my butt hurt? There are actually three reasons

Pain on both sides of the buttocks is a condition that many young men and women will experience in their lives. Because it usually does not last very long, it is often ignored. In fact, there are many reasons for pain on both sides of the buttocks, such as sitting for a long time, incorrect sitting posture, etc. Some are even signs of lumbar disc herniation. Everyone must pay more attention to this.

1. There are many female white-collar workers in cities who suffer from buttock pain. Sitting for long periods of time, sitting in an incorrect posture, and wearing high heels for a long time have made sciatica a "office disease."

Sciatica among modern urban female white-collar workers is mostly related to their careers. In a normal human spine, the waist bulges forward, while the sacrum (coccyx) bulges backward, thus forming a normal physiological curvature. However, most of our office chairs have straight backs, and working postures such as stretching our hands forward when using a computer and bending over a desk increase the burden on the spine. Not only that, some female white-collar workers often wear high heels, which causes the center of gravity of the human body to lean forward and the mechanics of the spine to change, resulting in compression and wear on the lumbar intervertebral disc, leading to disc herniation, pressing on the sciatic nerve, and thus causing the severe pain that comes from time to time.

2. In addition to sitting posture and high heels, some minor injuries that are not taken seriously in daily life may leave sequelae to the intervertebral disc. Trauma is the most common cause of a herniated disc and thus compression of the sciatic nerve. The pain from some trauma may be very short-lived and pass after a while, but when the pain is relieved, patients often do not pay enough attention to it, thinking that "it will heal naturally once the pain stops." But in fact, at this time the body's waist and back muscles may have been damaged, the protective function of the vertebrae has been destroyed, causing uneven force on the vertebrae, and over time the intervertebral disc will slowly protrude. 3. The early symptoms of lumbar disc herniation are not low back pain, but buttocks pain, followed by radiating pain in the lower limbs and numbness in the lower limbs. By the time limping occurs when walking, the disc herniation has gradually formed. Therefore, if you experience hip pain and have a history of trauma, do not take it lightly and go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. After understanding the causes of pain on both sides of the buttocks, we know that pain on both sides of the buttocks is generally caused by sitting for a long time or wearing high heels. We must exercise regularly, and once pain occurs, it is best not to wear high heels, but wear comfortable shoes. And be able to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
