Is your problem persistent lower back pain? Although most times muscle strain and poor posture are cited as causes for lower back pain, there is yet another issue you might be having that could be causing your pain, but which many women do not know about, and this is uterine prolapse. Let’s know if there is a connection between both of them.

Can Uterine Prolapse Cause Lower Back Pain? 

Yes, uterine prolapse is capable of causing lower back pain, especially in cases of moderate to severe degrees. The shift of the uterus causes additional stress on the ligaments and muscles that hold up both pelvic organs and the lower spine. Such irritation causes a constant pain in the lower part of the back.

Why Does Uterine Prolapse Lead to Back Pain? 

Uterine prolapse puts additional pressure on those parts that provide structure to your pelvic and lower spinal region. When these structures face additional pressure, most women develop an ongoing problem of low back pain.

• Additional pressure on pelvic ligaments
• Weak pelvic muscles
• Pressure on neighboring nerves and tissues
• Posture changes

In Final Consideration

Lower back pain may not necessarily be due to muscle strain or poor posture, it could be uterine prolapse that causes your pain. Early diagnosis and the right treatment can go a long way in providing you relief. For more information, get in touch with Kalptaru Herbal Therapy Center.
