Due to a tendency to overlook their health, men rarely seek medical examinations and often rely on over-the-counter painkillers instead. It is usually only when the pain severely interferes with their ability to work and perform daily tasks that they finally consult a doctor. However, by this stage, the condition has often progressed to a severe level, potentially leading to dangerous complications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to medical experts, regular health monitoring and timely treatment as soon as symptoms appear will significantly increase the chances of a full recovery for patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12274\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12274\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12274\" src=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/unhealthy-habits-back-pain.jpg\" alt=\"unhealthy habits back pain\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/unhealthy-habits-back-pain.jpg 600w, https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/unhealthy-habits-back-pain-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12274\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sitting for prolonged periods is a common cause of lower back pain in men.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"1_Causes_of_Lower_Back_Pain_in_Men\"><b>1.

The toxins found in cigarettes hinder the synthesis of essential nutrients for bone and joint health, causing the musculoskeletal system to weaken and become more prone to fractures or damage under heavy impact.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Prolonged Poor Sitting Posture:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Sitting for many consecutive hours or sitting with a curved back puts excessive strain on the spine and surrounding tissues.
