Patient's question:
My aunt has been buying sanitary pads frequently recently. She says her discharge is very heavy, and now she has stomach pain. When she went to the supermarket yesterday, her lower back also started to hurt. She believes it's related to her gynecological inflammation. Although it's not particularly serious, it's still uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
The female reproductive system undergoes approximately 400 menstrual cycles throughout a lifetime and is also responsible for tasks such as pregnancy and childbirth. Some women also experience miscarriages, sterilization surgeries, and other issues. As a result, the incidence of inflammation in the reproductive system is relatively high, such as salpingitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. These inflammatory conditions can easily lead to lower back pain, retroversion and retroflexion of the uterus, which are also among the factors or causes of lower back pain in women. Serious reproductive system disorders such as uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, and ovarian cysts can all cause compressive and traction-related lower back pain.
