What causes pain on the left side of a woman's waist?
Disease description:
I've been feeling severe soreness and pain in my left waist area these days, and I've never felt this way before. I don't engage in physical labor, and I'm taking care of a child at home. I would like to ask, what could be the cause of pain on the left side of the waist in women?

Left-sided lower back pain in women may be related to factors such as cold exposure, trauma, poor posture, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, kidney disease, and gynecological conditions.
1. Cold exposure may cause poor circulation in the lower back, resulting in pain; trauma such as impact or sprain may cause soft tissue damage or fractures;
2. Prolonged poor posture increases pressure on muscles and nerves, leading to soreness;
3. Lumbar muscle strain commonly occurs in individuals who engage in long-term physical labor or frequently bend over;
4. Lumbar disc herniation may compress spinal nerves, causing left-sided lower back pain; kidney diseases such as kidney stones and renal tumors can also lead to back pain;
In addition, gynecological conditions such as adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease may also present with mild lower back pain. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention to determine the exact cause through relevant examinations and receive targeted treatment.
