Lumbar Spondylosis (<a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/lumbar-spinal-degeneration\/\">Spinal Degeneration<\/a>)<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a common musculoskeletal condition traditionally seen in older adults, though it has shown a <\/span><b>growing prevalence among younger populations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> recently. In addition to lower back and buttock pain, patients may experience associated issues such as <\/span><b>muscle spasms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><b>lower limb weakness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and <\/span><b>loss of bladder control<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"22_Spinal_Stenosis\"><b>2.2. Spinal Stenosis<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a condition where the spinal canal narrows, causing compression on the spinal cord or nerve roots. In mild cases, <\/span><b>spinal stenosis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> may only cause numbness or aching in the limbs; however, in severe instances, it can lead to <\/span><b>paralysis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"23_Lumbar_Osteoarthritis\"><b>2.3. Lumbar Osteoarthritis<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spinal arthritis is most commonly found in older adults, individuals with obesity, those performing heavy manual labor, or patients with a history of <\/span><b>spinal injury<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. This condition causes sharp, throbbing, or dull aching sensations that intensify over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"24_Sciatica\"><b>2.4. Sciatica\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>Sciatica<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> typically affects only one side of the body, with pain extending from the lower back through the hips and buttocks, and radiating down the leg.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"25_Fibromyalgia\"><b>2.5. Fibromyalgia\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This condition causes widespread <\/span><b>musculoskeletal pain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, including lower back pain.

Other Causes of Lower Back Pain Near the Buttocks<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to the medical conditions mentioned above, lower back pain near the buttocks can also stem from several other factors:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"31_Pregnancy_and_Postpartum\"><b>3.1. Pregnancy and Postpartum<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many women face bothersome lower back and buttock pain during pregnancy due to the increased pressure of the uterus on the spine and nerve roots. This pressure can impair blood circulation, leading to localized hypoxia (oxygen deficiency), ischemia (poor blood supply), and joint damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, factors such as the administration of spinal anesthesia for C-sections and the excessive stretching of ligaments during childbirth often result in persistent pain on the right or left side of the tailbone (coccyx).<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:1em;\"><div><style> .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe { padding:0px; margin: 0; background-color:#eaeaea; display: table-row; margin-bottom: 10px; text-decoration:none; } .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe .fp_col { display: table-cell; vertical-align: top; } .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe .related_thumbnail{ display: block; width: 150px; margin-right: 15px; } .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe .related_thumbnail img { display: block; max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin-bottom: 0; } .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe:active, .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe .ctaText { font-weight:bold; font-size: 13px; color:#34495E; text-decoration:none; padding: 0; margin: 0; } .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe .postTitle { color:#000000; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration:none; } .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe .postTitle{ text-decoration:none; } .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe .fp_col p.fp_short_dev{ margin-top: 0; line-height: 150%; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0; padding-right: 10px; } .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe:hover .postTitle { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe .fp_col p.fp_short_dev{ display: none; } .ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe .postTitle{ display: inline-block; line-height: 150%; padding-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px; } } <\/style><div class=\"ue4c3e23e99ca996adf94d01aafbc6dfe\"><div class=\"fp_col\"><a class=\"related_thumbnail\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/reasons-why-pregnant-women-experience-back-pain-and-how-to-alleviate-it\/\" ><img src=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/back-pain-during-pregnancy-300x200.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fp_col\"><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"postTitle\" title=\"Reasons Why Pregnant Women Experience Back Pain and How to Alleviate It\" href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/reasons-why-pregnant-women-experience-back-pain-and-how-to-alleviate-it\/\">Reasons Why Pregnant Women Experience Back Pain and How to Alleviate It<\/a><p class=\"fp_short_dev\">Medical statistics show that around 50\u201380% of pregnant women experience back pain during pregnancy. The pain can begin as early as the first trimester and may persist even after childbirth. For some mothers, back pain is mild and short-lived, but in many cases, it can be persistent and extremely uncomfortable,&hellip;<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><b>3.2. Menstrual Back Pain\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the menstrual cycle, hormonal shifts and uterine contractions cause intense aching in the muscles, including those in the lumbar region. Typically, this discomfort subsides naturally once the period ends.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"33_Muscle_Strain_and_Ligament_Sprain\"><b>3.3. Muscle Strain and Ligament Sprain\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The lower back is highly susceptible to <\/span><b>strains and sprains<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> due to its central role in twisting, bending, and stooping movements. While mild sprains often resolve with rest, severe cases may require surgical intervention to repair or reconstruct damaged or torn ligaments, tendons, and muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"34_Overweight_and_Obesity\"><b>3.4. Overweight and Obesity\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The lumbar spine bears a significant portion of the body&#8217;s weight. In individuals with overweight or obesity, the excessive load compresses the spine, leading to chronic and severe aching.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"35_Sedentary_Lifestyle\"><b>3.5. Sedentary Lifestyle\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a common factor among office workers, tailors, and receptionists whose professions require prolonged sitting with minimal movement. This leads to poor blood circulation and localized congestion, eventually triggering back pain near the buttocks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"36_Calcium-Deficient_Diet\"><b>3.6. Calcium-Deficient Diet\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Calcium deficiency is a frequent cause of lower back pain in children, the elderly, women in their third trimester of pregnancy, and those in peri-menopause or menopause. Associated symptoms often include <\/span><b>numbness in the limbs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, muscle cramps, stiffness, and impaired mobility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"37_Spinal_Injuries\"><b>3.7. Spinal Injuries\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Impacts to the back resulting from traffic accidents, occupational hazards, or sports injuries as well as improper treatment of previous injuries can severely damage the musculoskeletal system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"4_Is_Pain_on_the_Right_or_Left_Side_Near_the_Buttocks_Dangerous\"><b>4. Is Pain on the Right or Left Side Near the Buttocks Dangerous?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Acute pain on the lower left side that starts suddenly often improves with rest. However, patients should not be indifferent; if the pain persists for more than 3 months, it may be a warning sign of spinal injury, joint fusion (ankylosis), soft tissue damage, <\/span><b>sciatica<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, or spinal degeneration. It could also indicate issues with internal organs like the kidneys, pancreas, or intestines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For <\/span><b>pain on the lower right side<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, early clinical examination is essential as many cases are linked to kidney stones, urinary tract infections, or appendicitis. Dull aching that increases in intensity and radiates toward the groin and legs can significantly obstruct mobility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seek immediate medical attention if back pain is accompanied by any of the following &#8220;red flag&#8221; symptoms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Loss of bladder or bowel control (incontinence).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unexplained weight loss or leg weakness.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fever, chills, or pain when coughing\/urinating.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Severe abdominal pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"5_Diagnostic_Methods\"><b>5.

Medication\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Common pharmacological options include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Over-the-Counter (OTC) Pain Relievers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Aspirin (Bayer), Ibuprofen (Advil), Naproxen (Aleve), and Acetaminophen (Tylenol). These can rapidly reduce inflammation in nerves or muscles but only provide <\/span><b>temporary relief<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Patients should avoid overuse or increasing dosages without a doctor\u2019s guidance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Muscle Relaxants:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Cyclobenzaprine helps reduce stiffness and cramping.

Cold Compress Therapy\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cold therapy should be applied as soon as possible after an injury occurs, typically within the first 48 hours. The cold temperature slows down the inflammatory process and swelling, while simultaneously interrupting the pain-spasm cycle between the nerves.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Avoid applying ice directly to the skin and limit each session to no more than 15\u201320 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span id=\"63_Rest_and_Massage_Therapy\"><b>6.3. Rest and Massage Therapy\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To improve lower back pain near the buttocks, patients should rest and limit strenuous activities for a short period.
