What does it mean when a girl has kidney pain?
Disease description:
Recently, my sister has been experiencing some pain in her kidney area. I'm not sure whether it's due to overwork or caused by inflammation. I'm worried something serious might happen, so I'd like to ask what are the possible causes of kidney pain in women?

Possible causes of kidney pain in females include:
1. **Urinary system diseases**: For example, kidney stones may cause dull or colicky pain in the kidney area. Particularly when small stones move, they can cause renal colic, often accompanied by hematuria (blood in urine). In addition, inflammatory conditions such as pyelonephritis can also cause pain, presenting as dull or aching pain in the lower back, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as fever and chills.
2. **Gynecological diseases**: Conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and cervicitis may cause lower back pain, which is often mistaken for kidney pain.
3. **Muscle strain**: Long-term or high-intensity physical labor may lead to lumbar muscle strain. In severe cases, it may cause lumbar disc herniation, resulting in lower back pain.
4. **Other causes**: Kidney-related conditions such as kidney tumors, hydronephrosis, and kidney cysts, as well as diseases of the lumbar spine or lumbar muscles, may also lead to pain in the kidney area.
It is recommended to seek timely medical attention to determine the exact cause through appropriate diagnostic tests and to implement corresponding treatment measures.
