What causes soreness in the hip bones on both sides in women?
Disease description:
I have recently been experiencing persistent soreness in both of my hip bones, especially after prolonged standing or walking, where the discomfort becomes more noticeable. This has been quite troubling, and I'm unsure of the cause. I don't engage in excessive physical activity, and my lifestyle is generally regular. I would like to know what other factors could cause soreness in both hip bones in women.

Women experiencing soreness in the hip bones on both sides may be caused by various factors. The following are some common causes:
1. Muscle fatigue or strain: Prolonged standing, walking, or engaging in high-intensity exercise may lead to fatigue in the thigh and buttock muscles, causing soreness in the hip area. Particularly women who frequently carry heavy loads or engage in strenuous exercise may experience muscle fatigue around the hips, leading to excessive lactic acid production and resulting in hip soreness and swelling.
2. Arthritis: Various types of arthritis, including hip arthritis, are common causes of hip pain in middle-aged and elderly individuals. Arthritis can cause joint pain, stiffness, and limited function.
3. Pelvic diseases: Gynecological conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease and endometriosis may also cause discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen and hip area.
4. Lumbar spine issues: Conditions such as lumbar disc herniation and lumbar muscle strain may affect the lower limbs and hip area through nerve conduction, causing soreness.
If persistent pain occurs, it is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment immediately.
