Abdominal pain that radiates to the lumbar region may indicate many pathologies and diseases not only of the reproductive system, but also of the musculoskeletal system. The provoking factors of pain in the male and female half of the population are different, so they should not be considered as one group.
In such a situation, it is difficult to diagnose the disease on your own, and you cannot self-medicate - it is recommended to immediately contact a therapist, who, after a preliminary examination, will refer the patient to a highly specialized specialist. This characteristic pain is a dangerous symptom that needs to be diagnosed and treated promptly. In this article, we have already discussed in detail the issue of what may hurt in the left side.
The lower abdomen is the place where many vital organs are located and therefore there are many causes of pain. A quick reaction from the patient is required if there is a nagging pain on the lower right side - inflammation of the appendix - in such a situation immediate medical attention is required.
Appendicitis is an inflammatory process of the appendix , which is accompanied by pronounced symptoms. Pain can radiate throughout the abdomen, as well as into the lower back. The pain in such a situation can be acute and dull; at the same time, the patient may feel increased body temperature, nausea and vomiting.
If discomfort occurs in the intestinal area, this indicates the development of intestinal diseases and infections . At the beginning of inflammation, a dull pain occurs, which has no precise localization and spreads throughout the entire abdominal cavity.
As it develops, discomfort begins to concentrate in the lower abdomen and gradually radiates down the back.
mucus and bloody discharge in the stool In most cases, this exacerbation can be provoked by salmonella. In such a situation, self-treatment can only do harm, so qualified help is required, and urgently.
If you ignore severe symptoms, you can provoke the occurrence of sepsis.
Kidneys can make themselves felt in two cases:
Osteochondrosis is a serious disease that is characterized by distinctive changes in the vertebrae of a given spinal region, causing pinching of the nerve roots , resulting in a disruption in the supply of nerve cells to the organs. Discomfort is localized in the affected area of the back, but there are cases when patients complain of discomfort in other parts of the body. Read about the treatment of a pinched nerve in the lower back here.
With colitis, the patient may notice increased body temperature and excessive bloating . It begins to develop immediately from an acute form, which gradually develops into a chronic form. In such a situation, the pain becomes more dull than acute.
An infection that has entered the body can cause enormous harm to many systems if proper treatment is not provided. The manifestation of infectious pathologies always has the same symptoms: a dull pain in the abdomen, which gradually encircles the entire area of the body, then an aggravation is observed and the discomfort gradually moves to the lower section - to the pubis, groin or lower back. The patient may notice mucus and bloody discharge in the stool.
Pain in the female half of the population in this department occurs for many reasons and pathologies of the reproductive and urinary systems. It is almost impossible to diagnose the exact cause on your own, so when the first alarming symptoms appear, you should immediately contact a specialist.
Algodysmenorrhea is pain in women that occurs during menstruation.
These pains are of two types:
Other factors can also cause discomfort in patients:
Discomfort can also occur during ovulation , that is, in the middle of the female cycle. Occurs due to irritation of the abdominal cavity by follicular fluid. If during this period the pain is intense and pronounced , then this may indicate pathological processes of a gynecological nature. If your spine hurts in the middle of your back, read here.
Discomfort in the abdomen, which radiates to the lower back, may also indicate the following pathological processes:
The patient may also experience discomfort after sex. It can be localized in the inguinal folds, organs of the reproductive system, perineum, and lumbar region. Also, such sensations are also signs of ovarian rupture or cyst , pregnancy disorder outside the uterus, or miscarriage. At the same time, bleeding occurs inside with severe, cramping pain.
Painful sensations after sex, which are accompanied by bleeding inside or outside, may also have such symptoms as anemia, which provokes:
This pathology and its symptoms can occur without acute pain and external bleeding, but there is internal bleeding.
infectious diseases and inflammatory diseases of the genital organs can cause abdominal pain after sexual intercourse . , cervicitis or vaginitis occurs after sexual intercourse . Also common causes of pain after sex include erosion and polyps , which can cause bleeding from the genitals and pain, as a result of which malignant formations develop that require immediate treatment.
Abdominal pain with bleeding after sexual intercourse can also be caused by such reasons as:
In such a situation, immediate examination and treatment is required.
spasms of the pelvic floor and vagina in women during sexual intercourse , which do not allow sex due to severe narrowing of the vagina, along with painful sensations. This disease may be permanent, preventing sexual intercourse.
In most cases, vaginismus is caused by gynecological diseases. Also, this pathology can occur due to hysteria.
During pregnancy, pain is not considered a normal condition.
This symptom may indicate the following disorders:
If you experience abdominal pain during pregnancy, which can radiate to the lumbar region, you should immediately consult a specialist or call an ambulance to avoid negative consequences.
Pain in the lower abdomen, which radiates to the lumbar region, occurs quite rarely in the male half of the population. In most cases, men attribute this symptom to fatigue, physical activity or poor diet.
But this is a completely dangerous sign, which may indicate the development and presence of a serious pathology. There are diseases that are accompanied by these symptoms and can only develop in men.
Prostatitis is an inflammatory process and swelling of the prostate gland . Can occur at any age. There are several types - acute, chronic and infectious - which determines the causes of occurrence.
This disease is accompanied by the following pronounced and characteristic symptoms:
Also, this pathology in a chronic form can occur for a long time and without severe symptoms, which is the danger of prostatitis. It can occur as a result of many provoking factors.
Inguinal hernia is not such a common disease . It is characterized by protrusion under the skin and pinching of the muscles of the internal organs. It can provoke acute pain, which provokes fainting. Symptoms such as nausea and vomiting also occur in parallel. Requires urgent medical attention.
In any situation, when pain occurs in the lower abdomen, a thorough examination is required to determine the provoking cause. Based on the research results, a clear diagnosis is made and effective treatment is prescribed. Girdle pain in the abdomen and lumbar region can be caused by many diseases and pathologies, which are different in women and men.
The patient must be prescribed:
In such a situation, as mentioned earlier, you cannot engage in self-treatment , as this can provoke serious irreversible consequences, even death.
It is better to immediately contact a specialist and undergo a thorough examination. Treatment will depend on the nature of the pain and the cause of the pain. Self-administration of medications can disrupt the clinical picture and prevent the correct diagnosis.
Pain in the lower abdomen, which radiates to the lumbar region, may indicate both serious and minor processes in the body. In any situation, professional help and treatment is required. It is almost impossible to identify the cause on your own, and self-medication can cause death . This pain occurs in men and women for different reasons, so this fact is worth taking into account.
Pain after eating is a common complaint among the population. Why is that? The fact is that after food enters the cavity of the stomach, it increases in size and secretes gastric juice abundantly. When exposed.

During menstruation, almost every woman feels discomfort; this seems to be the absolute norm. But, if after its completion there remains aching or sharp pain, then this is a reason to consult a gynecologist.
The presence of specific pathologies in a person causes pain in the navel area. This always causes very severe discomfort, constrains and makes even the slightest movements almost impossible. This kind of spasm shouldn't happen.
Girls, hello everyone.
2 weeks ago my right ovary was inflamed. It was enlarged for only 1 day, was clearly palpable, and physical therapy was prescribed. A week later my period started. Yesterday ended. But yesterday and today I began to notice that my lower right side periodically hurts, not often, but the pain radiates to my leg. The pain is not severe, aching. There is no temperature, general physical condition is normal. Very rarely my lower back hurts (I attributed it to my sore back (I had a sacral injury)).
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
What could this even be? Is it dangerous?
In general, if something hurts, then you should not delay it, but go to the hospital. Go to the gynecologist, let him take a look and most likely send you for an ultrasound.
I had similar sensations when a cyst appeared on my ovary. When walking, my right side hurt and it radiated directly to my leg. I was admitted to the hospital with suspected appendicitis. They did an ultrasound and found a cyst.
2 weeks ago I was admitted to the hospital with suspected apoplexy, they did an ultrasound, but they didn’t find a cyst. Could it have appeared since then?
If it radiates to the leg, it looks like appendicitis.
I also had a surgery 2 weeks ago, and I also had a diagnosis of appendicitis. He definitely said no.
By the way, as a continuation of the story about appendicitis. 2 years ago they finally cut it out. My right side and bottom ached for 3 days. For old times’ sake, I went to the gynecologist, I thought the cyst was acting up again. The doctor convinced me that everything was fine and there were no cysts, he told me to drink no-shpa and it would go away on its own (Moscow doctors are shocking.). In the evening I had to go to my parents (in another city), I got on the train, came to my family in the morning, and my mother, a doctor, took me to the surgeon. He finally found appendicitis, they operated on me that same morning, they said that another day and the appendix would have burst! So don't delay, girl!
After inflammation, adhesions form on the ovaries. I also, after the inflammation was treated, went to the gynecologist for the next cycle with the words: “I think it’s happening again.” She looked and said that there was still an adhesive process, cat. It takes a very long time to be removed and I prescribed Nimesil 3-5 days before menstruation, 3 cycles in a row. It may be the same for you. But it’s better for a gynecologist to check you and refute those terrible diagnoses, cat. said above.
This happens to me often. I also went to the gynecologist, she said about adhesions and didn’t even pay attention, so I calmed down. From time to time it will ache again and go away. Actually, I’m already 50.
A visit to a gynecologist is mandatory, and it would also be a good idea to take a urine test and do an ultrasound of the kidneys and ureters to rule out kidney pathology. In short, if our girls have pain in the lower abdomen and it also radiates somewhere, one examination by a gynecologist will not do
Well, my right side also hurts. The pain goes away. The day before yesterday I didn’t get sick, only when I went to the toilet I felt pain. Yesterday too. Today my leg is pulling and my stomach is swollen a little. And it’s been like that for a year. Sometimes when I run it can sometimes just hurt. Not long ago I got it and didn’t let go for 3 days. The ambulance took me to the surgeon, he said it wasn’t appendicitis. They started missing the doctors for me. It’s good that it stopped hurting me again. Otherwise, if it had been like then for three days in a row, then I’d just I wouldn’t be able to walk. A gynecological ultrasound showed some kind of body for the first time. I did the body again. The kidneys are drooping, but the doctors say such pain cannot be from the kidneys. The urinary system is fine. The intestines too. The ultrasound results showed this. No one or anything doesn’t know, it just hurts, in short. What should I do if it gets so bad again? Call an ambulance? Well, they called, they didn’t do anything. They just took me to the doctor. Who sent me home because I don’t have appendicitis and as he himself said, “you not my patient"
oh, I'm sorry, "I did it again, the body is gone"
I have a problem: the right side of my lower abdomen hurts very badly, what is it?
I also have a problem.
Girls, where did that all go?
I WAS TO A LOT OF DOCTORS AND DID 4 ultrasounds. AND MUCH MORE. ALL THE DOCTORS TOLD ME THE SAME THING - IF YOUR BOTTOM ABDOMEN HURTS AND GOES TO YOUR LEG IT’S CHANDROSIS AND THERE’S NOTHING SCARY HERE. I GAVE MYSELF 2-4 INJECTIONS OF DICLOFINAC AND EVERYTHING WENT AWAY INSTANTLY. AND THANK GOD IT DIDN’T HAPPEN AGAIN!
I also had pain in my side below my stomach, cystitis was suspected. But an ultrasound revealed an inflamed cyst. Two weeks later I had a second cyst. I was told that first the ovary was inflamed, and then cysts formed.
Please don’t delay, I went through this and I’ll say that it’s not pleasant.
what is this? unbearable pain in the lower abdomen on the right side, radiating to the leg, no appendicitis, I underwent this operation
The right side also hurts terribly and radiates to the groin, I had an appendectomy, a corpus luteum cyst of 4 cm, but the doctors say that it shouldn’t hurt like that. Horror, I don’t know what to do((((
The lower part of the abdomen hurts, radiating to the left chest. Sometimes it also affects the right left side! What could it be? Appeared a couple of days ago
Girls, tell me how are you doing with the pain in your right side and radiating to your leg? I myself suffer from this and don’t know where or who to go to. The gynecologist finds nothing. gastroenterologist and proctologist too. How are you coping? Maybe someone found a way out or diagnosed someone??
the lower abdomen hurts and the pain radiates to the legs; the lower back hurts. I don’t know what to do? what does this mean?
It hurts me too
I am 13 years old, and for 2 weeks now I have had the same symptoms as you. I do not know what to do. I went to the village for the summer, there are no doctors here, I’m afraid it’s an appendix. At first the pain radiated to the leg, and then to the “pelvis”. And right now it’s giving into the basin (right). But I have 2 months. there was no PMS. Maybe it's because of this, but I'm still worried...
My leg and lower abdomen hurt too
I also have pain in the lower abdomen, radiating to my legs. I often experience such pain on the first day of my period, but now I’m guilty of physiotherapy, in particular electrophoresis. As the doctor said, this happens and it’s normal, like blood begins to circulate faster there and that’s why there is pain. I wonder when they will go away, it’s been 3 days since I stopped doing physio.
Hello girls, it hurts below in the right god. Aching pain radiates to the leg and lower back. I’ll bend over to the right, it hurts, it’ll be explained very much. Yesterday I was pushing the stroller, maybe that’s why. But it’s been hurting a lot for about 2 hours now. Tell me, what could it be?
Hello girls, I have colitis in my lower abdomen on the left side and the pain radiates to my leg. Am I still swelling??
Girls, when a cyst causes heavy bleeding
Not everyone, when they found a cyst on me, I endured these pains for a month before the operation, they waited for the doctor, not a drop of blood leaked out!
Day 9: My lower abdomen aches and feels like a burden in my right leg. My lower back is also strained, I’m already tired of enduring the pain. Every day it becomes more and more painful. What happened with me?
My lumbar osteochondrosis manifested itself in this way, I went to the doctors for a long time, naturally, first to the gynecologist, I did an ultrasound, they didn’t find anything, I went to the neurologist, it turned out that the nerve was pinched.
Same problem too
.Only I have been breastfeeding my child for a year now. I haven’t had my period yet. During the examination on the chair, the gynecologist says that the right ovary seems to be enlarged. And she recommended doing an ultrasound of the pelvis. She says that maybe your period won’t start and maybe you need to take duphaston to hurry them up. The aching pain is similar to the pain before the start of “business”. And so with a frequency of 2 weeks. The day after tomorrow for an ultrasound. Some strange phenomenon. And today it also radiates to the right leg ((??
The lower abdomen hurts, the pain starts on the right side, the stomach is all swollen, the chest can’t be touched, it hurts a lot and has been swollen for the last 2 days and my legs began to hurt as if after long squats.
Damn scary things are happening! The right ovary itself is aching, or the ovary is going a little into the rectum; sometimes it’s not comfortable to sit, as if something is interfering there. I’ve read everything on the net and now I’m scared to go to the doctor. God forbid. Yes, and I’m tired of enduring it already.
This is also the same situation, the stomach started to hurt in the left side, the lower part of the stomach began to hurt, I took it for pain relief, and it went away, well, a couple of days have passed and I have the same symptoms. What could this be??
Have you been walking around with appendicitis for 4 days? Somehow too much.
This is also the same problem. Only I have been breastfeeding my child for a year now. I haven’t had my period yet. During the examination on the chair, the gynecologist says that the right ovary seems to be enlarged. And she recommended doing an ultrasound of the pelvis. She says that maybe the period won’t start and it’s possible you need to take duphaston to hurry them up. The aching pain is similar to the pain before the start of “business”. And so on every 2 weeks. The day after tomorrow we have an ultrasound. Some strange phenomenon. And today it also radiates to the right leg ((??

Abdominal pain radiating to the back may be a signal of a threat to the health of internal organs.
By a certain age, every person should understand their body and the signals it sends, because this is an important part of life experience.
This will help you find a balance between neglecting your own body, which can lead to serious complications, including death, and visiting doctors for every minor issue.
In this article you will learn about self-diagnosis methods for abdominal pain in the lower, right or left side, which radiates to the lower back.
Pain in the internal organs is frightening because it causes physical suffering, but even more frightening is the unknown.
When there is a pull in the lower abdomen, a stabbing sensation on the right side, or a pain in the leg or groin, it is difficult to be optimistic, and bleak scenarios come to mind.
By understanding the mechanism of pain, what principles it obeys, you can get rid of at least some of your fears.
It turns out that if it were not for the wisdom of the body, people could suffer physically every day, every hour. Nerve receptors send about a hundred pain messages to the brain every day.
A small area between the right and left hemispheres called the insula analyzes them and cuts off the weakest ones.
Thus, only really serious signals sent by vital organs, the lower abdomen, and limbs reach awareness.
These impulses can be compared to the sensors of anti-burglary security systems. They must also warn of danger.
It is logical to equip the perimeter of the protected object with a large number of sensors in order to immediately notice intruders.
By the same principle, the surface of the human body is very densely stuffed with nerve endings, which are located just below the surface of the skin.
This concentration causes acute, sharp, strong, precisely localized pain, which allows you to quickly detect the source of damage.
Even if a person is unconscious, severe pain will help him wake up, prevent further injury to the body and repair damage already done.
The sensations caused by cutaneous nociceptors do not last long, since there is no physiological need for this.
Bones, joints, tendons, blood vessels, and even the nerves themselves are located under the skin, therefore, there is no need to apply the same number of nerve receptors to them to detect damage.
But the listed structures take much longer to restore than the skin, so the receptors provide long-lasting, dull aching pain.
It is necessary for a person to remember about his sprained ligaments or a fractured limb until complete healing, which means he does not overwork or further injure them.
Internal organs in the chest and abdominal cavity (for example, the lower abdomen or hypochondrium) protect bones, muscles and skin from damage, so a relatively small number of receptors are supplied to them.
This is why the source of internal pain is difficult to immediately determine without being a specialist, but this can and should be learned.
First you need to find where the pain impulse comes from, for example, in the lower abdomen or on the right. To do this, you need to lie on your back to relax your muscles, place your palm on your lower abdomen and press gently but deeply with your fingers, listening to your own sensations, moving to other areas of the abdominal wall.
However, special care is important when palpating, as this can lead to rupture of the appendix due to appendicitis or ovarian cysts.
Therefore, if there is very strong, acute and especially throbbing pain on the left, right or lower abdomen, you need to postpone self-diagnosis until another time and call a doctor.
It is important to at least roughly understand the location of the internal organs - which of them are located on the right and left in the abdominal cavity.
For example, the lower abdomen contains the organs of the reproductive system and the intestines, the sections of which are also good to know.
The second thing you should pay attention to is the nature of the pain. The experience of pain is subjective. Without the ability to compare, it is easy to mistake acute pain for cutting pain, and paroxysmal pain for throbbing pain.
This requires the ability to relax and focus on your feelings. When calling an ambulance, it is useful to inform the nature of the pain - this will help doctors understand what they will have to face and respond as accurately as possible.
Associated symptoms are the third element of self-diagnosis for abdominal pain. Does the pain radiate (to the back, limbs, right or left side of the abdomen, lower abdomen and groin, behind the sternum)?
In what situations does the pain intensify or go away (sitting, lying, on the right or left side, when coughing, and so on).
Note any changes in your own condition: body temperature, increased sweating, diarrhea, constipation, increased gas formation, weakness, nausea, dizziness - any little thing can be useful in making a diagnosis.
Create a complete picture of the disease. What preceded the appearance or intensification of pain? Injuries, stress, physical activity, sexual intercourse and so on.
How long does the pain attack last? How did the nature of the pain change during the attack? Were there any changes in the localization of pain, for example, having appeared in the lower abdomen, did it later spread to the entire abdomen?
All this will help narrow down the causes of what is happening to your body and at least reduce the level of anxiety.
On the right and left, the abdominal cavity is literally stuffed with various organs. There are especially many of them on the right side, which is why it hurts more often here. The lower abdomen contains the intestines and reproductive organs.
If pain in the lower abdomen on the right or left radiates to the back, this is important diagnostic information that helps to understand whether it is worth rushing to the hospital immediately or whether you can still observe the condition.
A sharp, squeezing pain in the abdomen at the top right, which radiates from the right side to the back, chest, shoulder and under the shoulder blade, may indicate inflammation of the gallbladder.
Additional signs: bitterness in the mouth, vomiting of bile that brings relief, and sometimes increased body temperature.
An attack can be triggered by heavy fatty or spicy food or shaking. The condition does not require haste; a painful attack can be relieved with an antispasmodic, and then an ultrasound can be performed to determine whether there are stones in the gall bladder, depending on which further treatment can be planned.
An attack of acute pancreatitis, on the contrary, requires immediate contact with a medical facility in order to avoid death of the pancreas.
The girdle pain runs through the upper abdomen and also radiates to the back at the lumbar level. Repeated bouts of vomiting do not bring relief.
The passage of a stone from the kidney through the ureter into the urinary canal causes sudden intense pain radiating to the back and lower abdomen (perineum), accompanied by a frequent urge to urinate.
Pain in the organs of the genitourinary system often occurs in tandem with unpleasant sensations in the lower back.
For many women, each menstruation is accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and an unpleasant, pulling sensation in the lower back.
Many female diseases, for example, cystitis or adnexitis, are also accompanied by a pain combination of “lower abdomen + lower back.”
These are the main reasons why pain in the lower abdomen can radiate to the lower back. However, pain in the lower abdomen can be combined with a sore lower back, which you strained during training or weeding a garden bed.
In this case, by combining two unrelated symptoms - pain in the lower abdomen and pulling sensations in the lower back, you may come to the wrong conclusions.
Abdominal pain radiating to the lower back is a common complaint from patients. It is impossible to determine the cause of their occurrence by symptoms alone. To make a correct diagnosis, the doctor prescribes a complete examination of the body. There are quite a lot of pathologies that provoke such symptoms. Some of them pose a threat to human life.
Doctors strongly recommend that patients who experience abdominal pain radiating to the lower back be examined by a doctor. It is completely unacceptable to “drown out” unpleasant discomfort with painkillers.
Most often, representatives of the fairer sex encounter such discomfort. It is even called “female” pain. Although the unpleasant syndrome is often observed in men.
Pain in the lower abdomen in women can occur for a variety of reasons. But most often the source of pathology is closely related to gynecological problems. The most common causes of discomfort are:
Tumors often cause pulling sensations:
When a cyst is torsioned or ruptured, a fibroma or tumor disintegrates, a critical situation arises. The woman experiences acute pain, accompanied by hyperthermia, vomiting, and nausea. Such symptoms signal the onset of peritonitis. The only way to save a life is immediate surgery.
Often, expectant mothers have pain in their stomach and lower back. If you experience such symptoms, you should definitely consult a doctor. It can be caused by completely harmless reasons. But sometimes it signals serious pathologies.
Doctors identify the most common sources of discomfort:
If a pregnant woman experiences discomfort, it is imperative to inform the doctor or call an ambulance. After all, not only the life of a woman, but also the fate of an unborn baby may be at stake.
Pain in the abdomen and lower back can also be observed in the stronger sex. If gynecological pathologies are very often characteristic of women, then in men similar discomfort can be caused by diseases of the genital area.
Sources of pain can be:
Abdominal pain radiating to the lower back can occur as a result of diseases common to both women and men:
Let us consider in detail the symptoms of diseases that provoke unpleasant discomfort.
Exacerbation of pathology can cause painful symptoms. Characteristic signs of an unpleasant disease are:
This complication is a fairly rare occurrence. In pathology, a fairly specific sign is observed. The patient has pain in his stomach and back at the same time. Discomfort in the stomach is combined with a “board-like” surface of the peritoneum.
In addition to these specific symptoms, a perforated ulcer is characterized by additional symptoms:
Tension of the peritoneal muscles is observed. The abdomen becomes extremely hard. It is characterized as “board-shaped”.
In case of acute inflammation of the gland, the patient experiences abdominal pain radiating to the lower back. Discomfort appears as a result of an acute attack of pancreatitis. With this pathology, pancreatic tissue is destroyed. The close location of the gland and the lower back causes discomfort in the lower back.
The main symptoms of pancreatitis are:
With pathology, the symptoms manifest themselves extremely clearly. At the initial stages, the patient cannot always determine why specific discomfort arose. A person feels pain in the lower abdomen radiating to the lower back. Very often the patient tries to cope with this phenomenon on his own. Mistaking the pathology for stomach pain, he uses a variety of drugs to treat gastrointestinal ailments. This approach is completely wrong. In order to recognize the pathology in a timely manner, it is necessary to know the main signs that accompany hepatic colic.
This unpleasant condition often causes the following symptoms:
The symptoms of the pathology are very similar to hepatic colic. The patient complains that the lower abdomen hurts, radiating to the lower back.
Doctors identify specific signs that make it easy to determine the presence of acute cholecystitis:
If the pain appears suddenly and reaches such intensity that the patient rushes about in bed, unable to find a place, and groans, then there is a possibility of stone movement. A person has a sharp stomach ache and cramps.
This symptomatology is accompanied by the following features:
Sometimes it is not possible to find out the reason why pain in the abdomen and lower back occurs. Complex biochemical tests, MRI, ultrasound do not determine diseases. However, the person experiences severe discomfort.
In such cases, the neurological nature of the syndrome is suspected. The patient is sent for consultation to a neurologist.
The causes of discomfort often lie in the following pathologies:
Nagging pain in the abdomen can be caused by various pathologies. Sometimes the discomfort is caused by diseases:
There are a great many reasons that cause discomfort in the abdomen and lower back. It is extremely difficult to understand them on your own. Incorrect therapy can seriously worsen the patient's condition. The only correct solution in case of pain is to seek help from a doctor.
