Back Pain (Lower Back) in Women

Dr. Sarika Gupta

Many women are surprised to learn that lower back pain isn't always a spine or muscle issue — it can often be linked to underlying gynaecological conditions.

Common Gynecological Causes of Lower Back Pain

• Uterine Fibroids — Large fibroids can press against spinal nerves, causing persistent lower back discomfort
• Endometriosis — Tissue growing outside the uterus often triggers chronic pelvic and lower back pain
• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) — Infections in the reproductive organs frequently radiate pain to the lower back
• PCOS — Hormonal imbalances and ovarian cysts can cause pain radiating to the lumbar region
• Adenomyosis — Thickening of the uterine wall leads to heavy periods and deep backaches
• Perimenopause & Menopause — Declining estrogen levels weaken spinal support, increasing back pain risk

When Should You Worry?

If your lower back pain is persistent, worsening, or accompanied by irregular periods, heavy bleeding, or pelvic pressure, it may be more than a muscular issue. A thorough gynaecological evaluation — including ultrasound, hormonal profiling, and pelvic examination — is essential to identify the root cause.

Don't let unexplained back pain hold you back. Early diagnosis leads to effective treatment.
