Pain in the middle of the female waist

Because there are significant differences in the body structures of men and women, even if pain occurs in the same area, the causes may be different. For female friends, they must be familiar with the problem of low back pain, because there are many diseases that may cause low back pain symptoms in women. But what happens when women feel pain in the middle of their waist?

If a woman experiences pain in the middle of her waist, and if the pain is located higher up at the highest point when bending over or at the junction of the chest and waist, this is mainly related to supraspinatus ligamentitis caused by bending over and not paying attention to sitting posture after sitting for a long time; if the pain in the middle of a woman's waist is located in the middle of the lumbar sacral region, lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spondylolisthesis should be considered. If the woman is a middle-aged or elderly woman, lumbar spinal stenosis cannot be ruled out, but this situation is generally accompanied by discomfort in the buttocks and legs.

Female patients experience pain in the middle of their waist, which is considered to be caused by bone degeneration and bone hyperplasia. Especially for middle-aged and elderly female patients, long-term fatigue and chronic strain will cause bone degenerative changes as they age. Common symptoms are local pain, even accompanied by limited movement. Lumbar disc herniation is prone to occur, which manifests as lower back pain, accompanied by numbness and radiating pain in the lower limbs. CT examination can confirm the diagnosis. For mild cases, conservative treatment is mainly chosen. Bed rest and local physical therapy such as acupuncture, massage, traction, etc. can relieve symptoms. In severe cases, surgical treatment is required to remove the protruding nucleus pulposus.

Therefore, if a woman experiences pain in the middle part of her waist, she must undergo a CT or MRI examination of the waist, mainly to rule out lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spondylolisthesis and lumbar spinal stenosis. If it is caused by the supraspinatus ligament, pay more attention to keeping warm and avoid cold, apply more hot compresses, and use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain.
