Rumor :Feeling pain in the waist is a sign of kidney deficiency.
/✗:This viewpoint is not entirely accurate.
Lower back pain does not necessarily indicate kidney deficiency.
If lower back pain symptoms appear, they may also be indicative of the following conditions:
- Lumbar Issues: Lumbar disc herniation, etc.
Most patients experience persistent dull pain in the lower back, which is relieved when lying flat and aggravated when standing. Generally, the pain is tolerable, allowing moderate lumbar activity or slow walking. Some patients may experience sudden spasmodic severe pain in the lower back, which can be worsened by coughing or sneezing. Bed rest is required, severely impacting daily life and work. - Inflammation: Degenerative spondylitis, tuberculous spondylitis, pyogenic spondylitis, etc.
These conditions are more common in individuals over 50 years old, presenting with lower back pain, soreness, stiffness, and limited mobility in the morning. Pain improves after lumbar activity but may worsen with excessive activity. - Lumbar Muscle Issues: Lumbar muscle strain, lumbar myofibrositis, etc.
These conditions are often caused by cumulative injury due to improper sitting posture over a long period of time due to occupational factors or incomplete treatment of lumbar sprains. - Urinary System Issues: Nephritis, stones, etc.
Conditions such as nephritis, pyelonephritis, stones, nephroptosis, and hydronephrosis can cause lower back pain. Nephritis manifests as deep dull pain in the lumbar-rib triangular area; pyelonephritis causes obvious lower back pain and percussion tenderness. If a renal abscess occurs, it is usually accompanied by unilateral lower back pain and local tenderness. Renal stones typically cause severe colicky pain with intense percussion tenderness. - Tumors: Spinal tumors
These often manifest as persistent and severe lower back pain that is difficult to relieve with rest and medication.
