Introduction
In general, pain on both sides above the female buttocks may be caused by muscle fatigue, pelvic fracture, hip arthritis, lumbar spinal stenosis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc. In daily life, consuming more protein-rich foods such as eggs, milk, and chicken can help enhance immune function and protect the body from diseases.
In general, pain on both sides above the female buttocks may be caused by muscle fatigue, pelvic fracture, hip arthritis, lumbar spinal stenosis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other conditions. Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Muscle Fatigue
Prolonged sitting or standing without movement may lead to gluteal muscle fatigue, causing pain on both sides above the buttocks, muscle stiffness, and similar symptoms. It is recommended to apply heat therapy using a hot water bag or warm moist towel to the affected muscles for about 15–20 minutes per session. Heat application can promote blood circulation, relax muscles, and relieve fatigue.
2. Pelvic Fracture
A pelvic fracture may result from high-impact trauma such as falling from a height. When a pelvic fracture occurs, surrounding muscles and soft tissues may also be damaged, potentially leading to pain on both sides above the buttocks and restricted mobility. Treatment may include medications such as nimesulide capsules, diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, or Shujin Huoxue tablets, taken under medical guidance.
3. Hip Arthritis
Hip arthritis is primarily caused by natural degeneration of joint tissues. This condition may lead to muscle tension and spasms around the joint, resulting in pain, soreness, and discomfort on both sides above the buttocks. Treatment may include glucosamine sulfate capsules, diacerein capsules, or celecoxib capsules, taken under a doctor’s supervision.
4. Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Lumbar spinal stenosis may be caused by herniated or bulging intervertebral discs. When stenosis occurs, compression of nerve roots may radiate pain down to the buttocks and lower limbs, causing pain on both sides above the buttocks and intermittent claudication. Medications such as Kanguzhi Zengsheng Pills, Shujin Huoxue Tablets, or Guci Ping Tablets may be used according to medical advice.
5. Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis may be associated with abnormal immune system responses. Inflammation and muscle tension caused by this condition often lead to symptoms such as morning stiffness, weight loss, and pain on both sides above the buttocks. Treatment may include methotrexate tablets, leflunomide tablets, or prednisone acetate tablets, taken under medical supervision.
In daily life, consuming protein-rich foods such as eggs, milk, and chicken may help enhance immune function and protect the body against disease.
