Sore lower back. Causes in women after sleeping during menstruation, pregnancy, back, left, right. What could it be, what to do, treatment

Pain in the lumbar spine can be of different nature (drawing, sharp, girdle) and localized to the right / left or middle. Cause symptoms in women may be physiological or pathological changes in the body. An experienced specialist, in the characteristic pain, can be pre-set diagnosis and further investigation.

What does the localization of the pain on the left, right, middle

Tenderness in the lumbar region can be located on different sides or localized in the middle of the back. The following diseases can be diagnosed based on the location of the pain.

Pain on the right side of the waist	Pain on the left side of the waist	Soreness in the middle of the lumbar
Pathologies of the digestive tract: obstruction, inflammation or ulcer in the intestine; inflammation in the appendix.	Disruption of the functioning of the digestive tract: stomach ulcers; diseases of the pancreas; gallstones; disruptions in the intestine.	—
Diseases of the reproductive system: inflammatory process in appendages on the right side having the infectious nature; inflammation of the fallopian tube or uterus; endometritis; malignant and benign tumors.	Diseases of the reproductive organs: inflammation of the appendages on the left side; tumor development.	Reproductive system: endometritis; neoplastic and inflammatory processes; PMS and menstruation; uterine prolapse or loss.
Disruption of the functioning of the urinary system: inflammatory processes of infectious and non-infectious nature of bladder or kidney; kidney stones; renal colic, arising due to the poor flow of urine; disruption of the functioning of the right kidney; cancer pathology.

—	Diseases of the respiratory system: pneumonia.	—

Knowing where more concentrated pain (it may be of a different nature, but constant), the therapist narrows the range of possible diseases. Additionally reduce circle probable disease by using the characteristic symptom. The obtained data is assigned a survey to confirm or deny the diagnosis.

• after a long run or a brisk walk;
  
• after a sharp movement.

Due to the fact that a woman most of the time trying to hold in position when the pain is less likely arise: curvature of the spine, in violation of the musculoskeletal system, and function deteriorates internal organs.

This symptom is more typical of chronic inflammatory processes. It may also occur with prolonged stay in an uncomfortable position (during operation). In rare cases, pain may be a symptom of the onset of the cancer process.

Acute, severe pain

Acute and sharp pain may occur occasionally, usually after severe physical exertion or sudden change of position.

Upon confirmation by a neurologist pathology assigned therapy. It is required to include the rejection of physical work, which causes severe muscle tension.

To relieve symptoms appointed:
