Lumbago can be caused by overwork, and may also indicate the presence of spinal osteoarthritic and peripheral soft tissue diseases, spinal cord and vertebral nerve diseases, renal lesions, gynecological diseases and other disorders, and timely consultation is recommended.
1. Over-exertion: Excessive lumbar movement, walking for a long time, or sitting or standing for a long time can lead to lumbago, which can be relieved after resting and does not require special treatment.
2. Diseases of spinal bone and joint and surrounding soft tissues: such as lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spine tuberculosis, spinal osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, lumbar muscle strain, etc., which are mostly seen in middle-aged and old people, and can also be accompanied by lumbar pain, numbness of limbs, limited lumbar activities and other discomforts.
3. Spinal cord and spinal nerve diseases: such as myelitis, spinal cord tumors, etc., which can also be accompanied by sensory abnormalities, motor abnormalities, urinary and fecal retention and other symptoms.
4. Kidney diseases: such as glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, interstitial nephritis, etc., which may be accompanied by fever, fatigue, abnormal urination, edema and other discomforts.
5. Gynecological diseases: such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, adnexal cysts, etc., often accompanied by recurrent lower abdominal swelling, pain and other discomforts, mostly aggravated before and after exertion and menstruation, but also abnormal menstruation and abnormal vaginal secretions.
If the symptoms of lumbago persist without relief or are accompanied by other discomforts, one should consult a doctor in a timely manner to identify the cause of the disease and carry out appropriate treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
