Lower back pain can occur in women of Mature age, but very often young. They may be pulling or aching in nature, aggravated by movement and bending. The reason pulling pain down the lower back many women, the pain can be a manifestation of any disease, and it can be triggered by completely different factors.
Back problems is a common cause of back pain in the lumbar region
When back pain is logical to first consider the condition of the joints and spine.
Osteoporosis
The density of bones to determine their strength. After 30 years it decreases, which is associated with the hormonal changes a woman's body and metabolic disorders. Therefore, this phenomenon occurs in women 5 times more than the male population.
In osteoporosis the bone becomes porous, brittle. There is a high risk of serious fractures up to a small landing, where an elderly person can't stay in bed.
In the elderly the density of bones decreases usually because of calcium deficiency and hormonal deficiency – senile or senile osteoporosis. One of the most common symptoms is pain in the lumbar. It is also possible, curvature of the spine, the deterioration of the posture. The disease is usually detected, when referring to the patient's doctor for broken bones. If there was more than two fractures in a row means that the probability of the presence of osteoporosis.
In the preventive purposes in women after 45-50 years is recommended for bone density assessment – a study that identified mineral mass and bone density.
Osteoporosis treatment using the calcium supplements and vitamin D, which helps calcium absorption in the body. Also adjust your diet, nutrition and exercise.
Osteoarthritis
The defeat of the joints, damaged cartilage is called osteoarthritis. The disease progresses gradually, acquiring a chronic character. The destruction of the cartilage is irreversible and leads to deformation of all components of the joint - osteoarthritis.
If the pathological process occurs in the region of the lumbosacral, his call was spondilo-arthrosis. The edges of the affected joints is formed by osteophytes, affecting many nerve endings in the lower back. The result is a pain syndrome can develop so that the person loses the ability to work and forced to be the injury the rest of your life.
In women, the disease occurs as a result of external and internal factors:
- injuries of the joints;
- an additional load when playing sports or profession;
- the extra weight increases the stress on the joints;
- the hormonal changes;
- violation of the metabolism.
Risk factors for goodies and genetic predisposition. Also, the likelihood of deformation of the joints increases with age.
Women after 50 years of age factor is combined with the menopause, worsening of degenerative processes in the bone tissue. If the cause is determined, the osteoarthritis is secondary. If it is derived from is unclear why it is called the primary.
Because of the structure of the damaged cartilage and reversing the structural changes in the joints without surgery is impossible, conservative treatment of osteoarthritis aims to load reduction and regulation of metabolic processes in bone tissue.
You need to get rid of excess weight, avoid heavy lifting in the acute stage of the disease to comply with a bunk bed. Spread painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Osteoarthritis
Arthritis is called the inflammation of the joints. Osteoarthritis very similar symptoms, mechanisms, manifestations and causes is osteoarthritis. The difference is in the severity of inflammation. Arthritis pain initially emerged in the inflammation of the joint, and at the end of the time chronic form progresses, deformation, wear of the cartilage, immobility of the joints.
Inflammation is often acute, occurs in the result of precipitating factors (hypothermia, carrying heavy loads, SARS). Relieve inflammation and alleviate the condition will help heat creams and gels, load reduction and activity in the period of exacerbation.
Osteochondrosis
Regular back pain can be the result of degeneration of the intervertebral discs – osteochondrosis. When lumbar osteochondrosis flat and depleted plates compress the blood vessels and nerve endings in the lumbar.
Along with the restricted movement of the spine of women have other symptoms and complicationsassociated with impaired blood circulation:
- the failure of the menstrual cycle;
- irritability;
- sweating;
- aggravation of varicose veins;
- cold, tingling, tingling of the lower extremities;
- sleep disorders, fatigue;
- disturbances in the function of the urogenital system.
If you suspect osteoarthritis diagnosis, prescribe x-rays in the lumbar region or computed tomography. If the disease is identified, must determine the cause. They are the same as osteoarthritis.
Neglected disease leads to destruction of the vertebrae, the process becomes chronic and irreversible. You can stop the progression of the disease and reduce pain, in addition to the standard facilities to help with special orthopedic corset rigid inserts.
Sciatica
The most common complication of degenerative disc disease is inflammation of the bundles of nerve fibers between the vertebrae – sciatica.
Sciatica can be due to other reasons:
- lack of exercise;
- intense workout;
- strong stresses;
- infection.
The pain of this disease is a sharp, increase the change of position, sneezing, coughing. This disease can occur throughout life. Drug treatment has a significant effect is not, so women often turn to folk remedies: sauna, hot compresses and polishing, belt, wool, herbal teas.
Herniated discs
Acute lower back pain can be the consequence of a herniated discoccurs when the displacement of the disc between the vertebrae and the pinched nerve roots. The occurrence of hernia causes a curvature of the spine, osteochondrosis, trauma, tumors, tuberculosis.
At an early stage – within a few years the pain can be dull and subsided in the supine position. Still hernia the nature of the pain changes – it comes to shooting and aching, spread to the pelvis and lower extremities. Because of the constant pain spazmiruyutsya muscles, helps you stretch, develop bias back lower.
If you don't pay attention to the herniated disc, and use it, it can lead to death of the spinal cord and paralysis.
As a result of all the listed diseases of the back can occur in the lower back lumbago – lumbalgia. This acute pain, which lasts a few weeks, leading to premature disability.
Diseases of internal organs, urogenital system
Lower back can hurt not only the problems in the joints and spine. In the lumbar region are located in the kidneys, and thus the inflammatory processes occurring in them and in the urinary tract can be given back pain. This usually happens when exacerbation of pyelonephritis and urinary stone disease and is characterized by aching pain.
Among the rare causes of pain, but still encountered are: acute pancreatitis, aortic aneurysm.
The gynecological nature of the back pain occurs in endometriosis – inflammation of the mucous membrane of the uterus. This pathology can be related to a violation of cycle, bloody discharge, drawing pains in the abdomen.
When such reasons the treatment is not aimed at the lumbar region, and in particulargives a pain effect.
Physiological causes
No back pain due to pathological processes. Women are so obvious and physiological changes in the body.
Pregnancy
Occur during pregnancy and childbirth related causes of back pain:
- the hormonal changes;
- the difference between the bones of the symphysis;
- the threat of miscarriage;
- increase in body weight;
- pressure of the uterus on the nerve endings of the spine;
- false labor;
- at the beginning of the birth.
We need in the future and later the nursing mother to make up for the deficiency of trace elements and nutrientsdepends on the condition of the musculoskeletal system.
Menstruation
Back pain menstruation is a natural phenomenon. They seemed hormonal changes in the body. Before the onset of critical days, the lower back may be sore because of the accumulation of tissue fluid and formation of edema.
Big Breasts
Someone seems a gift of nature, and someone to the source of the problem. Chest four and more dimensions is a solid weight.
Keep him upright, the spine, the ligaments and back muscles are constantly tense. Such "education" is not useful, it creates an unusual stress on the joints, causing can develop back problems listed above.
Weight
Being overweight is a big test of the spine and other bones. It adversely affect the condition of the cartilage and the health of the intervertebral discs. Obese women have always chronic articular disease, and sometimes a whole bunch. Get rid of the excess weight begins to treat osteochondrosis, arthritis, arthrosis, sciatica.
Menopause
Menopause is a huge role in the condition of the joints. Women who already have back problems, they are outrageous. Those who can not avoid the common problems of youth, old age is sure to deal with them.
Estrogen and progesterone are the main female hormones. During the climax of their development is considerably reduced, and rebuilds the entire body. Because sex hormones affect not only the genitals. Estrogen, for example, is involved in the regulation of the nervous system that affects the skin, breast, bones.
Household reasons why sore lower back for women
Domestic reasons, which hurts the lower back are:
- prolonged sitting in front of computer or TELEVISION;
- move heavy objects;
- drafts, hypothermia;
- the work of the slope in the garden;
- physical activity;
- lack of physical activity.
Surprising that back pain is equally worried about how lazy people are too active. The girl, who is obsessed with fitness results, and climbs out of the gym, may was surprised at some point find they should lower back pain. Such as dumpling, eating pie and sitting all day watching TV.
Wrong place
Speaking of seat, it is important not that how much you sit, but also. In school, all learn to observe the erect posture. It is very important for the prevention of diseases of the back, such as curvature of the spine. Also a straight posture ensures normal blood circulation and nutrition of the bones, which allows you to activate metabolic processes, cell renewal, to permanently preserve youth and health.
Hypothermia
A cold can trigger inflammation, such as joints and internal organs – kidneys, uterus. When the complications can become a chronic disease. Therefore, mothers always teach their daughters to beware of drafts, cold wind and not to sit on cold surfaces.
High heel
Beauty requires sacrifice, but the sacrifice in wearing high heels can be high. Crooked fingers, heel spurs and, of course, problems with the spine – that is what awaits the trendy and stylish girls in high heels.
Constant wearing of high heels and consequently uncomfortable shoes provokes a deformation of the joints, the ankle and foot. When during walking the load is incorrectly distributed throughout the skeleton, including the spine.
Lifting, carrying heavy loads
Be torn back easily when moving or renovating, to help her husband carry the heavy furniture and bags of plaster. Women rarely save themselves, and as a result health suffers.
When lifting weights is a sprain of the back. Acute pain can be due the flow of some chronic back problems, exacerbation, which caused a heavy load.
Moderate exercise, walking outdoors, swimming, the correct mode of work and rest helps to eliminate the negative factors and to prevent back pain.
