The most common symptom of various diseases is abdominal pain with different localization, so the effectiveness of treatment for this disease will depend on the correct diagnosis. After all, some types of abdominal pain require emergency care and immediate hospitalization, so the doctor must distinguish ordinary pain from serious pain in order to prevent serious consequences.
On the left side there are organs that can cause nagging pain - these are the left kidney, intestines and internal reproductive organs. Pain in this area may be the primary symptom for conditions that cause pain in this quadrant, but appendicitis is an exception. Many people suffer from a bowel disorder called nervous stomach or irritable bowel syndrome. This syndrome is a set of functional disorders lasting more than 12 weeks and throughout the year. Symptoms of this disease include pain, cramping, constipation, diarrhea, bloating and gas. This syndrome is also accompanied by changes in the frequency and consistency of stools and bowel movements. And throughout this disease, there may be a recurrent nature of complaints, variability of complaints, increased distress under stress, lack of progression, lack of weight loss and other functional disorders.
Severe pain in the left lower abdomen occurs due to inflammation of the lower part of the large intestine and in most cases, in addition to pain, other symptoms are present - bloating and stool disturbances. And in this case, you need to give up spicy and hot seasonings, fresh fruits and vegetables, milk and black bread, that is, follow a standard diet. And if your health does not improve within several days, despite the diet, you need to consult a doctor who will prescribe the use of medicinal drugs.
Pain on the left side of the lower abdomen in women may indicate the presence of diseases of the genitourinary system. And if the pain is very severe and is accompanied by vomiting and fever, and the pain itself spreads not only from the left side, but also spreads to the right, then there is a high probability that the woman has torsion of the pedicle of the ovarian cyst. And in this case, only surgical treatment will help, so you need to urgently call an ambulance.
Sharp pain in the lower abdomen on the right side indicates inflammation of the appendix or salpingo-oophoritis. In addition, the temperature may rise, and the patient may experience severe pain when feeling the abdomen. And if the pain is very severe, then you must immediately call an ambulance. In addition, sharp pain on the left side of the lower abdomen can be a result of an ectopic pregnancy and in most cases the pain appears on one side, but in some cases it can be bilateral. With exacerbation, the pain gradually becomes stronger, and with movement it intensifies sharply, and can also be cramping in nature. And if the fallopian tube suddenly ruptures, the pain can be sudden and unbearably severe.
Aching pain in the lower abdomen on the left side can occur due to problems with the stomach, while the pain itself is aching in nature and is often accompanied by vomiting and nausea. Moreover, such symptoms are very dangerous, because the stomach can hurt for a variety of reasons, and some of them require immediate treatment, for example, stomach cancer or peptic ulcer. But there are also cases when pain in the left quadrant of the abdomen occurs due to a diaphragmatic hernia. This disease is most often observed in older people. In addition, pain in the left side can be caused by the pancreas. Of course, most often with inflammation of the pancreas, pain occurs in the middle, but it can occur on the right and even on the left, so this diagnosis should not be excluded. And especially dangerous is the aching pain, which is felt from the inside and also has a girdling character. Such pain in most cases radiates to the back and in some cases is accompanied by vomiting and nausea, as well as fever. Therefore, in such situations, you should immediately call an ambulance.
When the stomach hurts on the left side and a woman experiences bloody discharge from the genital tract, this indicates the presence of certain diseases of the genital organs. And in such a situation, you should consult a gynecologist, because only a specialist will be able to correctly diagnose and the true cause of pain, as well as study tests and prescribe appropriate treatment. And if aching pain in the lower abdomen is accompanied by fever and chills, then this indicates the presence of a certain infection in the pelvic area. In any case, if you have acute, nagging or aching pain in the lower abdomen that does not stop for several hours, you should immediately consult a doctor. And in case of very severe pain, you should not waste time and immediately call an ambulance, since the person’s future life may depend on it.
