Patient's question:
Last September, I had a fungal vaginal infection, which later improved. But now I have some itching in the outer vaginal area, accompanied by lower back pain. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
General female lower back pain is usually caused by muscle and ligament strain or kidney deficiency. Additionally, frequent pregnancy, induced abortions, and irregular sexual activity can all lead to kidney qi damage, resulting in lower back pain. If one is exposed to cold and dampness for a long time, it can obstruct meridians, causing poor blood circulation and leading to lower back pain symptoms. A herniated intervertebral disc pressing on the nerves can also cause lower back pain symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit a hospital for a diagnosis to determine the specific cause of your lower back pain symptoms and then receive targeted treatment. Patients should also pay attention to care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy foods. At the same time, patients should be careful to choose a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
