What should I do if my husband has back pain?

Regardless of what profession they are in, whether they are drivers or office workers, many men will have some back pain problems. Back pain is mainly a disease that occurs in clinical practice, and it is also a manifestation of back pain. The specific manifestation is pain on one side or both sides of the waist. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the cause of back pain may be cold and damp or damp and hot. So what exactly is the disease that causes back pain in men?

1. Kidney deficiency tuberculosis

In addition to low back pain, the symptoms of kidney deficiency and renal tuberculosis include premature aging, forgetfulness and insomnia, loss of appetite, bone and joint pain, soreness of waist and knees, fatigue intolerance, and weakness. The symptoms of kidney deficiency in urinary system are: frequent urination, delayed urination, long and clear urination, etc. More than 90% of patients with renal tuberculosis have hematuria, characterized by urgent urination, frequent urination, hematuria, and gradually aggravated low back pain. Acute glomerulonephritis has hematuria accompanied by oliguria, proteinuria, edema, hypertension, and tonsillitis one week before the onset of the disease.

2. Urinary system

Low back pain is mostly caused by acute or chronic pyelonephritis, which manifests as bloating and pain in the lower back. In addition to urinary tract infection, urinary tract stones, tuberculosis and other diseases can also cause low back pain. Urinary tract stones are characterized by hematuria accompanied by renal colic, or symptoms such as interrupted urination, dysuria, hematuria, and low back pain. Pelonephritis hematuria is accompanied by urinary pain, hematuria, frequent urination, low back pain, and fever. Kidney and urinary tract injuries often have a history of lumbar or abdominal trauma, such as contusion, collision, and fall.

3. Lumbar muscle strain

Men's back pain may also be caused by lumbar muscle strain. Due to continuous standing, the stretching ability of the lumbar tendons and ligaments is weakened, and excessive lactic acid may accumulate locally, inhibiting the normal metabolism of the lumbar muscles, which may also lead to lumbar muscle strain and lumbago. Frequently carrying heavy objects and overloading the waist can easily cause scoliosis, resulting in lumbar muscle strain and lumbago.

4. Sexual misconduct

Failure to enjoy sex can lead to neurotic back pain. Sudden interruption of sex can lead to physiological back pain. Excessive sex can also lead to fatigue back pain. Therefore, couples should communicate with each other, strengthen pre-sex and post-sex play, and have sex according to their physical condition.

5. Prostatitis

Men's back pain may also be caused by diseases. The most easily overlooked disease is prostatitis. The pain of men with prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum, but also radiates to other surrounding parts, and back pain is the most common. However, the back pain caused by chronic prostatitis is mostly in the lower back, which is different from lumbar muscle strain and myofasciitis. The latter is mainly around the belt, which is higher than the position of back pain caused by prostatitis.

6. Kidney hydrops

Hydronephrosis is not a disease, but a pathological change of the kidney caused by ureteral obstruction due to various reasons such as ureteral stones, tumors, congenital diseases, etc., which prevents urine from being discharged smoothly into the bladder. Hydronephrosis may be unfamiliar to ordinary people, but it is not uncommon in clinical practice. If hydronephrosis is not treated properly, it can cause renal failure in severe cases and even lead to nephrectomy.

Lumbar spondylosis can easily cause low back pain. With the increase of age, the compression symptoms of lumbar nerves will become more and more. This is mainly due to degenerative diseases. Pseudo-vertebral disc herniation is a common disease, which can easily cause the lumbar spinal canal to become narrow and compress the spinal cord and nerve roots.
