Patient's question:
A man is 39 years old and has been working out at the gym regularly. His body is quite healthy, but a few days ago, while moving things, he suddenly twisted his waist a few times and felt a lot of pain at the time. He thought it was nothing at the time, but in the past few days, he has been feeling some pain, and yesterday during intimacy, he felt that his hardness wasn't enough. Is there a connection between the lower back pain and his sexual function?Doctor's answer:
Traumatic lower back pain has no direct relationship with increased sexual function. Traumatic lower back pain may be caused by injuries to the muscles and soft tissues of the spine. It may also lead to conditions such as recurrent fractures or herniated discs, which can cause lower back pain. Therefore, if lower back pain persists and cannot be relieved, it is recommended to undergo a CT scan or MRI of the spine to determine the cause of the pain and then receive targeted treatment.
