Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am 50 years old, female. I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago and have been postmenopausal since then. Now, I suddenly have a dull ache in my lower right abdomen and lower back, similar to the pain during the early stages of childbirth. The pet hospital conducted a thorough examination and found no tenderness upon palpation. Could you please explain why I have this lower back dull ache after a hysterectomy for 6 years?Doctor's answer:
Women with menstrual cramps often feel aching in their lower back and knees during their period. Generally, this is considered physiological pain and does not require special treatment. Some women try methods like tapping their lower back to relieve the pain, which is not advisable and often leads to the opposite effect. For patients with this condition, in addition to necessary treatment, it is also important to focus on self-care in daily life, ensuring a healthy routine, so they can overcome the illness more quickly.
