What is the reason for the pain on the right side of the waist

Lower back pain on the right side is a problem that many people suffer from. There are many reasons for this problem, such as cold, trauma, lumbar spine disease, lumbar muscle strain, urinary tract infection, etc., which can cause right-side low back pain. The waist is an important part of the human body. If there is a problem with the waist, it will naturally affect a person's normal walking and sitting, so timely treatment is needed. Below, we will introduce in detail the causes and relief methods of right-side low back pain.

1. What is the cause of pain on the right side of the waist?

1. Cold, trauma

Women suffering from rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis are often attacked by wind, dampness and cold during menstruation, delivery and postpartum period, which causes bone spurs in the spine and induces low back pain. If the waist has been sprained, it may develop into a herniated disc, causing severe back pain and even affecting the flexion, extension and rotation of the spine.

2. Lumbar spine disease

It is more common in elderly women. With the increase of age, the symptoms of lumbar nerve compression will increase. Pseudospondylolisthesis caused by degenerative diseases is a common disease, which can easily cause lumbar spinal stenosis, compress the spinal cord and nerve roots, lead to low back pain and radiating pain in the lower limbs, and is often caused by vertebral collapse fractures due to osteoporosis. Osteophyte formation in the elderly can cause spinal stiffness and persistent low back pain.

3. Lumbar muscle strain

People who engage in standing operations for a long time, such as in textile, printing and dyeing, chefs, restaurant employees, barbers, salesmen, etc., have weakened stretching ability of lumbar tendons and ligaments due to continuous standing, and excessive lactic acid can accumulate locally, inhibiting the normal metabolism of the lumbar muscles and also leading to low back pain caused by lumbar muscle strain. Frequent carrying of heavy objects puts too much burden on the waist, which can easily lead to scoliosis, lumbar muscle strain and low back pain.

4. Urinary tract infection

Because the female urethra is short and straight, and the external urethral opening 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. Low back pain is mostly caused by acute or chronic pyelonephritis, which manifests as distension and pain in the lower back and radiates along the ureter to the perineum in severe cases. In addition to urinary tract infections, urinary tract stones, tuberculosis and other diseases can also cause low back pain.
