What do women with low back pain do? Both men and women have experienced low back pain. When they have low back pain, they need a good physical examination, otherwise they will easily fall into the root cause. I've sorted out the relevant information about the examinations for women's low back pain. Let's have a look.
What do women with low back pain do? 1 First, ct examination. Ct examination can clearly show the osteophyte at the anterior and posterior edges of vertebral body, the position and degree of compression of dural sac, nerve root and spinal cord, measure the anterior and posterior diameter and transverse diameter of spinal canal, and determine whether the intervertebral foramen and transverse foramen are narrow and whether the vertebral lamina is hypertrophy.
Second, take x-rays. It is a routine examination item for patients with low back pain. -Generally, positive, lateral and left-right oblique films are taken, and sometimes neck flexion and extension films are taken. Anterograde films can show the stenosis of intervertebral space, hyperosteogeny of uncinate joint and thickening of pedicle. Lateral radiograph can find that the physiological protrusion of cervical vertebra disappears, bone lips are formed at the front and rear edges of vertebral body, intervertebral space is narrow and spinal canal is narrow. Oblique radiograph can show intervertebral foramen.
Third, magnetic vibration. It can clearly show the kyphosis of intervertebral disc tissue, the compression of dural sac and spinal cord, and can also check whether there is venous reflux obstruction and compression, and whether there are cystic lesions in the spinal cord.
Fourth, other inspections. If it is suspected that it is a patient with hyperosteogeny and heart disease, it is necessary to check the bone density and electrocardiogram to confirm or rule it out. Generally speaking, the diagnosis depends on the clinical symptoms and the doctor's detailed physical examination. The clinical accuracy is sometimes much higher than ct and mri. Ordinary X-rays should be routinely examined, which is the basis of other imaging examinations. If some diseases can't be diagnosed by symptoms, X-rays and body position, ct examination is needed. By further understanding the soft tissues, ligaments, intervertebral discs and contents of the waist, we will consider whether to do MRI.
Although low back pain is a common symptom, it still means many diseases for women, and the diagnosis of the disease through a series of examinations is the most critical link in the treatment and recovery of the disease, so people with this symptom should not ignore it.
There are many reasons for low back pain. For women, the most common is lumbar muscle strain, or lumbar disc herniation, or gynecological inflammation. First of all, it is necessary to make clear what causes the diagnosis, and then do the examination. Go to the hospital first, register for orthopedics or spinal surgery.
1, physiological characteristics
Women have menstruation every month, and the pain caused by dysmenorrhea is very great, and it will also involve other parts of the body. Many women like to eat snacks or cold drinks during menstruation, which will directly lead to stagnation of qi and blood, obstruction of meridians, dysmenorrhea and backache in the long run.
After a woman is pregnant, the uterus will gradually become larger after a long period of time, and the strength of waist support will continue to increase. Therefore, the ligamentum teres uteri will be stretched and relaxed, which will oppress the pelvic nerves, so many mothers will feel backache and will slowly recover and disappear after delivery.
2. Lumbar muscle strain
The first reaction of many people with low back pain is lumbar muscle strain. People are prone to such problems because they keep a posture for a long time. Most people who go to work now are sedentary, and this problem will occur after working for a long time. If many people do heavy work and carry heavy objects for a long time, it will also weaken the stretching ability of lumbar tendons and ligaments, accumulate too much lactic acid locally, and inhibit the normal metabolism of lumbar muscles, thus causing lumbar pain caused by lumbar muscle strain. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest at ordinary times. Over time, nerve compression is likely to lead to permanent low back pain.
3, urinary system infection
Compared with female urethra, which is short and straight, close to anus, and some physiological reasons of women, the probability of female urinary system infection is very high, which will lead to waist pain after infection. In daily life, women must pay special attention to hygiene.
4, uterus, accessories and other diseases
When women have low back pain, besides checking lumbar vertebrae and kidneys, we should also consider some gynecological diseases, because many women suffer from cervicitis or pelvic inflammatory disease, which will directly lead to low back pain.
There are many reasons for low back pain, not just fatigue. For women, they should pay more attention to their health. Don't give yourself too much pressure in daily life, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and avoid having a very serious impact on your body. In normal times, when people encounter low back pain, they must seek medical advice in time to find out the problem and take care of themselves.
