Inquiry:
I have noticed that I often experience pain on my right hip, especially when putting weight on that side. For example, when bending down or leaning to the right, the pain is severe and I almost feel like I might fall if I stay in that position for a long time. What problem can cause such pain? Thank you very much.

Answered by the Department of General Medicine, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital.
Regarding your question of what conditions usually cause pain in the right hip, the doctor would like to explain as follows:
Pain on the right hip, especially when bearing weight on that side, often suggests a musculoskeletal disorder, particularly nerve root compression syndrome.
Symptoms of nerve root compression syndrome can be varied and may include:
- Back pain, especially in the cervical or lumbar spine regions.
- Muscle spasms.
- Reduced spinal mobility.
- Tender points on the spine when pressed.
- Pain radiating along the nerve distribution area.
Therefore, in your case, you should visit a medical facility with a musculoskeletal specialty for examination and tests such as lumbar spine MRI, joint ultrasound, electromyography, etc. This will help in accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.
If you have further questions about right hip pain, you can visit any hospital in the Vinmec Healthcare System for consultation. Thank you for trusting and sending your question to Vinmec. Wishing you good health.
Sincerely.
