What are the common gynecological causes of lower back pain?
Several gynecological conditions can lead to persistent lower back pain:
Endometriosis: This condition occurs when tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside it, causing pain and potentially affecting the lower back. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): An infection of the female reproductive organs can lead to inflammation and pain that radiates to the lower back. Uterine Fibroids: Noncancerous growths in the uterus can cause pressure and pain in the lower back. Ovarian Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs on the ovaries can cause discomfort and back pain when they become large or rupture. Dysmenorrhea: Painful menstrual cramps often result in lower back pain during menstruation.
