Why does lying down at night cause lower back pain, but sitting up makes it feel better?

Patient's question:

A woman has lower back pain after lying down for a whole night, but it improves when she sits down. This has been the case for her for a period last year, and it has started again recently. She also feels discomfort in her lower abdomen. What could be the reason for her lower back pain when lying down and relief when sitting up?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you have described above, it is first necessary to rule out the possibility of gynecological diseases. It is recommended to undergo a detailed gynecological ultrasound examination to initially understand the basic condition of the gynecology. If there are gynecological inflammations, it is necessary to actively implement treatment first. The patient can use the above methods as auxiliary treatment while receiving standard treatment in daily life. In daily dietary habits, it is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness, and never overeat.
