Low-back pain (LBP) is a prevalent and complex medical condition that affects individuals of all genders. While LBP is a common complaint, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the experience and management of LBP may be influenced by gender-related factors. This article provides a comprehensive review of current concepts related to gender-specific concerns in LBP management. We explore the epidemiology of LBP in different genders, the potential role of sex hormones, psychosocial factors, and healthcare disparities. Understanding these gender-related concerns is crucial for developing more effective and tailored approaches to LBP prevention and treatment.
