Uncle Li in the community recently encountered a problem, it turned out that Uncle Li suddenly felt a soreness in his butt when he got up early a few days ago, but the pain disappeared after a few minutes. Uncle Li didn't pay attention to it at that time, but every morning when he got up, his butt would be sore, and it would last longer and longer, which was very bad for Uncle Li.
He asked his friends around him for help, some said that it was caused by his incorrect sleeping position at night, some said that it was caused by a herniated disc in his waist, and some said that Uncle Li may have some terminal illness. Uncle Li felt very confused, what was the matter with his sore butt? I believe that many friends also have the same questions as Uncle Li, for this question, I will answer it in detail for you below.
What's wrong with the frequent soreness in the butt, is it sick?
In daily life, there are often friends who feel sore butt, must they be sick when this symptom occurs? Not necessarily. As we all know, some diseases such as lumbar disc herniation may cause buttock soreness, that is because the patient's intervertebral disc degenerative changes, based on the influence of external force leads to the rupture of the fibrous ring, nucleus pulposus protrusion, protrusion, compression of the adjacent spinal nerve roots, resulting in pain in the waist, buttocks or lower limbs of the patient.
However, frequent soreness in the butt does not necessarily mean illness, and many bad living habits, such as sedentary, lack of exercise, overwork, etc., will lead to sore buttocks to a certain extent. So often have sore butt do not panic, not necessarily sick, change your living habits, may be able to solve this problem well.
Be aware that the following factors may cause sore butt.
Seeing this, everyone may be curious, what factors can cause sore butt? Below I will answer for you in two aspects.
On the one hand, there are disease factors
As an important part of the human body, the buttocks play a very important role in the normal physiological activities of the human body, so many diseases can lead to sore buttocks. At present, there are basically four diseases that appear more clinically.
The first is chronic strain, the human body is like a machine to maintain on time, if there is a problem in which part and long-term carelessness, it is likely to cause strain, inflammation and eventually pain.
The second is hip joint disease, our hip joint is an important joint tissue in the hip, if the hip joint necrosis, inflammation and other conditions will also lead to butt pain. The third is buttock myofasciitis, generally when someone does not exercise for a long time or often exercises too much, it will cause damage to the soft tissues of the buttocks, inflammation, resulting in sore buttocks.
The fourth is lumbar disc herniation, this disease is a more common one, modern people due to changes in living habits, often sedentary, or lack of exercise. This can easily cause a protruding disc in the waist, resulting in symptoms of sore buttocks. Therefore, there are often sore buttocks, and you can give priority to excluding the above four diseases.
On the other hand, there are non-disease factors
Of course, frequent butt soreness is not necessarily caused by disease, and many external factors can also cause this to happen. For example, sleeping at night in an incorrect posture compresses the buttock muscles, and it will also cause sore buttocks for a long time. There is also excessive exercise, there are many friends in the exercise, often overdraw themselves, which can easily cause hip damage, resulting in sore buttocks.
Sore butt does not mean that it is a lumbar process, don't ignore the pain in these three positions!
From the above, we know that butt soreness may be caused by diseases or bad habits, which does not mean that it is a lumbar process. But when there is a sore butt, we must not take it lightly, especially in the following three positions, otherwise it is likely to cause irreparable damage.
The first is numbness and tingling near the hip joint. Friends who have this situation should pay attention, it is likely to be ankylosing spondylitis. This disease is called "undead cancer", it is clinically difficult to cure, it has an insidious onset, slow development, mainly manifested as chronic, vascular destructive inflammation, gradually spreading from the sacroiliac joint upward to other segments of the spine, and finally causing bony rigidity and deformity, eventually leading to numbness and tingling in the affected area.
The second is soreness on both sides of the buttocks. When someone, especially middle-aged and elderly people, has soreness on both sides of the buttocks, it may be caused by hip osteoarthritis. As the human body gradually ages, our hip joint will continue to degenerate and proliferate, which can easily cause aseptic inflammation in the hip joint, and when the inflammation spreads to the muscles on both sides of the buttocks, it will lead to soreness on both sides of the buttocks.
The third is near the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region. In women, pain in this part of the buttocks may be pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic inflammatory disease is a chronic inflammation of the connective tissue of the female reproductive tract and around the uterus, which is clinically common. In addition to buttock pain, patients with this disease are generally accompanied by abdominal pain, bloating, general weakness, lack of energy and other symptoms. Therefore, female friends should pay attention to the above symptoms and need to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
How to avoid sore butt, experts gave the following two opinions.
How do we avoid sore butt in our daily lives? Doing the following two things well can protect our buttocks to a large extent.
In terms of diet, we should avoid excessive drinking, eat less greasy and spicy food, and eat more fresh foods such as vegetables and fruits. Because a very important factor that causes sore buttocks is inflammation, such as alcohol and spicy foods will accelerate inflammation to a certain extent. Therefore, it is still very important to pay more attention to the diet to prevent sore buttocks.
In terms of living habits, we must exercise moderately, stay up less late, and smoke less. Because, whether it is staying up late smoking or excessive exercise will cause wear and tear on the body, the human body is likely to be plagued by various diseases for a long time. If you don't pay attention to it, it will lead to various discomforts in the body, and sore butt is also one of them. Therefore, it is also very important to develop a good and regular lifestyle habit to prevent sore buttocks.
Mentally, we must learn to control our emotions in our daily life, less angry and less angry. People with short temper and often angry are easy to cause symptoms such as vasoconstriction, liver qi discomfort, etc., and over time, it will damage our liver, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular organs, and eventually lead to discomfort in some parts of the body. Therefore, maintaining an optimistic attitude can not only improve our quality of life, but also a very effective means to reduce physical discomfort.

Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, the incidence of various diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes is gradually increasing every year. Frequent soreness in the butt, although not as severe in most cases, cannot be ignored. Especially when there is pain in the hip joint, both sides of the buttocks, near the lower abdomen, lumbosacral region and other parts, it is necessary to check whether it is caused by the disease.
Of course, we don't need to be too nervous, this symptom can be prevented by daily maintenance. Everyone usually drinks less, smokes less, stays up less late, does some exercise every day, eats more fresh vegetables and fruits in terms of diet, and maintains a positive and optimistic attitude. Sticking to it will definitely improve our physical fitness and reduce the probability of uncomfortable symptoms such as sore buttocks.
