Why does a man have back pain?

Many male friends are prone to lower back pain. If such symptoms occur, we should pay attention to it in time. This may indicate that there are some diseases in the body. The most common cause is kidney disease, and kidney stones are common. The incidence of this disease is already very high. Let's take a look.

What causes lower back pain?

Men's waist pain is often one of the more common symptoms of kidney stones. Generally speaking, some kidney stones may exist for a long time without symptoms, especially larger stones. Smaller stones have a larger range of movement. When stones enter the ureteropelvic junction or ureter, they cause violent peristalsis of the ureter, resulting in colic and hematuria. Patients often experience dull pain or dull pain in the upper abdomen or kidney area, and colic occurs when stones move. 40-50% of patients have a history of intermittent pain.

The pain symptoms of kidney stones often occur in the waist and abdomen, and are mostly paroxysmal, but can also be continuous pain. Some pain may only manifest as soreness and discomfort in the waist, and activities or labor can cause or aggravate the pain. Typical renal colic is severe, knife-like pain, often sudden, and the pain radiates to the lower abdomen, groin, or inner thigh. When renal colic occurs, the patient is in pain, or curls up, or tightens the abdomen and waist. The attack usually lasts for several hours, and some are relieved in a few minutes.

Some patients with kidney stones also experience not only back pain but also renal colic. In severe cases, the patient will have pale complexion, cold sweat all over the body, thin and rapid pulse, decreased blood pressure, weakness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and constipation. When colic attacks, the urine volume decreases; after the colic is relieved, polyuria occurs. Hematuria is another symptom of kidney stones. It is often microscopic hematuria, but it can also occur. It is more obvious after colic, but it is rare to see a large amount of hematuria with the naked eye. Physical activity will aggravate the hematuria. Common complications of kidney stones are obstruction and infection. Obstruction can cause hydronephrosis, upper abdominal or lumbar masses, and enlarged kidneys. Stones obstruct the bilateral renal pelvic outlets, causing anuria or renal insufficiency. When combined with infection, purulent urine may occur.

If you experience lower back pain, you cannot ignore it and should go for a check-up in time. If it is kidney stones, don't worry and seek treatment as soon as possible.
