Why do women experience back pain after sexual intercourse? What diseases do girls suffer from lower back pain after sexual activity

Many female friends have reported to doctors that they often experience back pain after sexual intercourse. Why is this? It is understood that low back pain is generally caused by orthopedic diseases such as lumbar muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation. If these are excluded, it is highly likely to be a gynecological disease in women.

Why do women experience back pain after sexual intercourse?

1. Sexual activity did not reach orgasm

Zhou Shaohu, Chief Physician of the Reproductive Medicine Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (expert appointment), stated that orgasm is a common physiological feature, mainly manifested as congestion of the reproductive organs' blood vessels inside and outside the pelvis, and sensory stimulation. If the reproductive organs are stimulated and congested, but the orgasm is not released, it is possible to cause back pain after sexual activity.

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease

When there is inflammation in the pelvic cavity, various inflammatory changes will occur, such as congestion, edema, and adhesion of connective tissue, which will directly compress the lumbosacral nerve, causing a sense of tenderness in the lower back and causing stimulating symptoms of lumbosacral pain.

3. Endometritis

Women with endometritis may experience pain in the lower abdomen and pain in the lumbosacral region during menstrual intervals.

4. Abnormal uterine position

Such as uterine prolapse, prolapse, or adhesion to the abdominal cavity. At a normal uterine position, there is a slight forward tilt and flexion position, and the surrounding ligaments function freely. After frequent abortion, childbirth, or other uterine surgeries, the uterus is prone to bending or tilting backwards, and inflammation in the uterus and surrounding areas can cause adhesions, which can cause traction lumbosacral pain.

5. Uterine fibroids

Generally speaking, uterine fibroids do not cause pain, but many patients report symptoms such as lower abdominal distension and back pain during the illness. In addition, pelvic tumors such as uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, and ovarian tumors can cause low back pain when they compress nerves or invade the connective tissue of the pelvic cavity with cancer cells.

What should women do with low back pain?

1. Adjusting sleeping posture: A mattress that is too soft can make the lumbar spine "unable to eat", which can easily increase the burden on the body. It can also twist to the waist when turning over, while a mattress that is too hard cannot support various parts of the body, causing chronic damage to the lumbar spine. So choose a mattress that feels moderately soft and hard at the waist, and when lying on the back, place a small pillow under the legs to slightly bend the knee joint, which can avoid excessive tightness of the waist muscles; When lying on the side, it is most like bowing your waist like a shrimp, ensuring a comfortable waist.
