What are the specific causes of lower back pain in females?
Lower back pain in females can be caused by hormonal changes, reproductive factors, endometriosis, and pregnancy-related issues.
Explanation
Lower back pain in females can have several causes. Hormonal and reproductive factors can play a role. Changes in hormone levels, especially during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause, may contribute to back pain.
Endometriosis is another condition that can lead to lower back pain. This happens when tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and discomfort.
Pregnancy can also cause back pain due to the extra weight and changes in posture. As the baby grows, it can put additional strain on the back muscles and spine.
Understanding these causes can help in managing and seeking appropriate treatment for lower back pain in females.
