Let's start with the fact that the very concept of “side” is very vague. There is no such definition in human anatomy; medicine is also quite skeptical about such a description of the localization of symptoms. But pregnant women, nevertheless, often describe some of their sensations in this way that do not concern their “tummy,” lower back, back or upper abdomen.
So, side pain during pregnancy can be of two types - discomfort associated with physiological processes and symptoms of various pathologies.
Localization can also be varied - “in the side” can mean on the left, and on the right, and in the hypochondrium, and in the iliac region. And also “in the side” can be on the ribs under the arms or under the chest.
Any pain is a signal of some trouble in the body. And you cannot make a diagnosis yourself - this is fraught with very big problems. Therefore, in any case, consultation with a specialist is necessary. But you shouldn’t be scared in advance either - after all, the most common cause of side pain during pregnancy is physiological processes. Usually these pains are not acute, appear under certain conditions and last a short time, after which they disappear.
In the first place is discomfort associated with digestive characteristics. If a pregnant woman suffers from constipation, then very often she is bothered by a dull nagging pain in the left iliac region. To get rid of this problem, you need to adjust your diet and get rid of constipation. You may need to take mild laxatives, but their use should be agreed with your doctor.
Second place in the hit parade of side pain is occupied by the discomfort caused by the growing uterus. As the child develops, the uterus enlarges, its position relative to other organs changes - it displaces organs, rests on them, pinches arteries and nerves. Hence the discomfort. Don't forget about the muscles and ligaments - under the influence of the increasing weight of the uterus, they become tense and stretched, which also leads to pain.
In the third trimester, these reasons are joined by the baby's activity. He had already grown enough by this time for his movements to become quite noticeable to his mother. And if the child rests against any organ of the abdominal cavity, then pain inevitably appears.
There is no need to treat or relieve pain for conditions related to the position of the uterus and baby. It is enough to properly organize your lifestyle - rest should alternate with moderate physical activity, clothing should be comfortable and not restrict movement. It won't hurt to wear a special bandage for pregnant women.
Sometimes pregnant women complain of pain in the side under the arms. This is due to growing breasts - the mammary glands are preparing for lactation, becoming larger and heavier. Therefore, the muscles supporting the chest experience additional stress. Solving this problem is easy - you just need to choose the right bra.
Much less often, pain in the side during pregnancy is a signal of an exacerbation of a chronic disease or acute pathology.
Acute conditions should be suspected if:
- acute pain is localized in the right side above the ilium, accompanied by nausea and fever (acute appendicitis);
- severe acute pain is localized in the lower right or left, accompanied by bloody discharge or loss of consciousness (in the early stages this may be an ectopic pregnancy, in later stages - ovarian cysts);
- severe, unbearable pain begins in the left hypochondrium, quickly becomes girdling, accompanied by high fever and vomiting (acute pancreatitis);
Very rarely, pain in the left side is associated with the spleen. But if a woman was in a situation in which an abdominal injury was possible (fall, accident), then pain in the left side should not be ignored.
If acute conditions are suspected, the woman should be laid down, put cold on her stomach and call an ambulance.
Even if a comprehensive examination and treatment was carried out before pregnancy, it is quite possible that during pregnancy your chronic diseases will make themselves known again. Most often, pain in the side is caused by diseases associated with the kidneys - pyelonephritis, nephrolithiasis, glomerulonephritis.
If the pain “settles” in the right hypochondrium and is accompanied by nausea, belching, and a feeling of heaviness, then you should think about gastritis, cholecystocholangitis and other gastrointestinal diseases.
In order not to start the disease and not to harm your unborn child, if you have any pain in the side during pregnancy, you must consult a doctor in order to determine the cause of the pain in time and begin adequate treatment.
There can be many reasons why groin pain occurs. Quite often, this kind of pain in this area radiates to other parts of the body located outside the groin area. For example, pain in the groin that radiates to the leg or lower back is considered radiating; often these sensations are so unpleasant and painful that they become very difficult to endure. And is it worth waiting until the pain goes away on its own? Of course not - you should definitely seek the advice of a doctor, since the reasons that caused it can be quite serious. It is a medical specialist who is able to determine the very cause of pain in the groin, and only he can prescribe the appropriate treatment.
Pain in the groin, which does not necessarily radiate to the leg, can occur due to:
1. Diseases of internal organs, for example, with pathologies of the genitourinary system. These include kidney diseases (urolithiasis), gynecological ailments (endometritis, endometriosis, tumors localized in the female genital organs, adnexitis, etc.), cystitis, diseases of the male genital organs (vesiculitis, prostatitis, varicocele, testicular torsion, cyst spermatic cord, orchitis, etc.). In addition, pain in the groin can cause diseases of internal organs related to the gastrointestinal tract, for example, they occur with appendicitis, intestinal colic, and intestinal obstruction.
2. Ailments of the musculoskeletal system. For example, the spine may be affected, then radiculitis and compression of the nerve root (lumbar or between the vertebrae) may occur. The disease can affect the hip joint (arthritis, coxarthrosis, Perthes disease). Due to muscle weakening, inguinal hernia and abdominal proptosis occur.
3. Due to diseases of the nervous system. Pain in the groin can occur due to pinching of the genitofemoral nerve.
4. Due to diseases of the circulatory system and lymphatic system. This may be a femoral artery aneurysm or inguinal lymphadenitis (inflamed lymph nodes).
Pain in the groin, regardless of whether it radiates to the leg or radiates to another area of the body, can have a different character. Pain can be localized on one side (left or right), most often such unilateral pain indicates diseases such as:
In cases where pain in the groin is a consequence of appendicitis , pain increases over time, gradually, and it is typical for them to begin in the epigastric region and gradually descend to the lower abdomen. Pain with appendicitis is localized on the right side, intensifies when walking, and sometimes radiates to the intestines (rectal area).
With renal colic, pain in the groin is also felt on one side (right or left), and this pain can be sudden, acute, radiating to the leg, affecting the lumbar region, bladder. Renal colic often becomes a sign of a person having urolithiasis; they arise as a result of the movement of a stone into the ureter from the kidney, followed by gradual movement along the ureter. Such pain is very difficult for a person to bear, since it is very strong and painful, it is accompanied by a constant urge to urinate. The patient requires medical attention.
Pain may occur due to the formation of an inguinal hernia . It has long been noted that inguinal hernia occurs much less frequently in women than in men. As a rule, its manifestations are noticeable immediately; the hernia appears on the left or right side in the groin area, like a swelling. It is this swelling that is the inguinal hernia itself. It can be quite painful if you touch it, but an inguinal hernia is best seen when the person is standing. A hernia is formed due to the fact that intestinal loops move to the groin area from the abdominal cavity, when the ligaments and muscles of the anterior abdominal wall are weakened. A serious complication of an inguinal hernia is its strangulation, which causes severe, sharp pain in the groin and abdomen. In this case, the patient requires urgent surgical intervention.
Quite often, pain in the groin, periodically radiating to the leg, can bother the patient when moving or at rest. When it comes to radiating pain, pay attention to the fact that the underlying disease is located in a completely different place, but it can manifest itself precisely in the area of the lower extremities. In this case, pain symptoms can be observed both in the entire leg (for example, along the back surface) and in one joint.
Pain in the groin in women can be caused by diseases such as inflammation of the uterine appendages (salpingoophoritis, adnexitis, parametritis), ectopic pregnancy, rupture of an ovarian cyst. With inflammation of the appendages , acute severe pain occurs in the groin area, body temperature rises, the general condition worsens, and painful sensations occur in the abdomen when palpated. With the development of an ectopic pregnancy, pain in the groin area gradually intensifies, it is cramping in nature, and can radiate to the anus. The pain can become severe, simply unbearable, which indicates a possible rupture of the fallopian tube; sometimes a woman can lose consciousness. In this condition, a woman requires urgent surgical care.
Acute, one-sided pain can occur with an ovarian cyst , while blood pressure decreases, vomiting occurs, and the temperature rises. Often, an ovarian cyst that has formed on the right side can be confused with appendicitis based on its symptoms. Finally, pain in the groin in women, radiating to the lower back or leg, can be observed during pregnancy (even during normal pregnancy). The nature of such pain is nagging, aching, due to the fact that during pregnancy, spraining of the ligaments and softening of the pelvic bones before childbirth are physiologically caused.
Pain in the lower abdomen during pregnancy can be caused by two types of reasons:
Drawing and aching pain in the lower abdomen, as during menstruation during pregnancy, which does not radiate to other areas, can occur when there is a threat of miscarriage. A common accompanying symptom is spotting and spotting. If these signs occur, a woman needs medical attention .
In the future, cramping pain may appear, bleeding will increase and the cervix will shorten, which will lead to miscarriage or premature birth.
The threat of miscarriage with characteristic symptoms can be provoked by:
The attacks are short in duration and occur with slight bleeding . However, you should not delay going to the hospital due to the risk of intra-abdominal bleeding. Between attacks, the woman feels normal, but this does not mean that they will not happen again.
Premature placental abruption during pregnancy and childbirth is provoked by a number of factors:
Due to very severe pain in the lower abdomen during pregnancy, a woman strives to take a position in which they will decrease. There are also signs of fetal hypoxia and internal bleeding, but external bleeding is often absent. During this period, the uterus is painful and tense, and the placental hematoma intensifies. Without timely medical intervention, fetal death is possible.
Due to hormonal changes, expectant mothers often suffer from bloating, constipation and intestinal dysbiosis. Provoking factors are:
During pregnancy, the uterus grows, which increases the load on the ligaments that support it, and the organs in the pelvis are displaced. At the same time, the load on the abdominal muscles increases, causing them to stretch.
In these conditions, mild aching or stabbing pain . If the stomach is large, an umbilical or linea alba hernia is possible. Towards the end of pregnancy, moderate abdominal pain can provoke separation of the pelvic bones.
Pregnant women often develop acute surgical pathologies, including intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, and pancreatitis. Diagnosis is difficult, and symptoms depend on the specific disease. Abdominal pain of varying intensity is observed . With an “acute abdomen”, nausea with vomiting, diarrhea, weakness and high body temperature appear.
A woman should consult a doctor if she has severe sharp pain in the lower abdomen, bleeding or increased uterine tone - all this may indicate the possibility of pregnancy complications, especially in the early stages.
Bloody discharge sometimes occurs in pregnant women after sexual intercourse if they have cervicitis or erosion of the uterine cervix. However, only a doctor can identify pathology.
It is especially important to go to the hospital if other symptoms are added to the pain:
These signs may indicate a variety of pathologies, including kidney stones, uterine fibroids, and genitourinary infections. Appendicitis often causes severe abdominal pain in pregnant women.
Everyone has different pain thresholds, so some may find training contractions painful. In such cases, it is recommended to take valerian or another mild sedative. The discomfort is usually short-lived . It goes away when the woman takes a comfortable body position and relaxes.
The appearance of pain in the lower back, which radiates to the right leg, is a signal of the progression of pathology in the back area , and, therefore, the need for treatment. But pain does not appear spontaneously. The first bells begin simply with little perceptible irradiation. Irradiation is precisely the process of transmitting pain from the back and transferring it to the leg. As mentioned earlier, at first it is practically invisible, but even then you just need to fly to a specialist at all times. The reason is pain that goes to the leg from the lower back and can have a different nature of origin. This means that it takes time to determine and make an accurate diagnosis. Treatment also takes time. And time can be lost.
The main symptom is pain. In most cases, pain does not appear immediately, but gradually. It occurs in the back area. Not in the form of pain, but in the form of some kind of discomfort, an unpleasant sensation that can limit a person’s movements. Then it passes into the buttock, lower - into the right leg.
There are many causes for this type of pain. Here are a few of them:
The pain is aching in nature. The main symptoms are as follows:
Sharp pain piercing like a sword, passing with lightning speed from the back through the buttock and straight into the leg - evidence of the possible presence of a herniated intervertebral disc.
Such pain occurs, which is logical, at the site of damage to the spinal column. Next, it grabs the buttock and right leg. Symptoms and signs that occur simultaneously with piercing pain:
The nature of the occurrence of radiculitis is different. It may appear as a consequence of the two diseases listed above: osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernia. This is a kind of disease that is caused by irritation of the nerve endings of the spinal column. Symptoms:
This happens quite often. The organs are located close to each other, so the function of one depends on the work of the other. The causes and symptoms are as follows:
Treatment depends entirely on the nature of the cause of the pain. So, for example, for osteochondrosis, treatment is based on the use of a universal course of anti-inflammatory medications, just as massage or physiotherapy can be prescribed. Ointment for lower back pain also plays an important role. Today it is very popular to use a patch with the active substance already applied. Therefore, a patch is used quite often as a kind of treatment method. Apply a patch to the affected area on the back. The leading attending physician for this disease is a neurologist.
In the case of a herniated disc, surgery is required in most cases . It is possible to use medications (medicines and patches) in treatment, but most often in combination with back surgery. The patch is applied only on the recommendation of a doctor. The specialists who deal with this issue are an orthopedist and a neurologist.
Radiculitis is a separate large and complex issue. Initially, the patient always turns to a therapist. The therapist, after examining and questioning the sick person, in turn, must take into account all the causes of pain and refer to specialists. Even if there are a dozen of them, you must definitely go through them. And this is not necessary for the doctor, first of all, but for the person himself. for radiculitis, a course of anti-inflammatory and painkillers, as well as a patch, is primarily prescribed. The patch for radiculitis plays an important role. Due to its action, a constant supply of therapeutic agent is actually carried out in the area of pain.
As you can see, the causes of pain that radiates to the leg from the lower back can be different and can have a different nature of origin. Symptoms also sometimes cannot tell and help identify a particular disease. Therefore, you should not diagnose yourself and undergo treatment for what seems to be the same disease. A timely visit to a doctor will ensure timely treatment, and therefore recovery.
Pain in any part of the human body is a very unpleasant sensation. Buttock pain is no exception. If the buttock hurts and radiates to the leg, then this brings a certain discomfort to the person. The feeling of pain can be localized in both the right and left limbs.
The main parts of the buttock are all kinds of muscles, skin and fatty tissue. There are many reasons that can cause pain. Pain in the buttock, radiating to the leg, can occur with some diseases of the spine. The main causes of such pain are osteochondrosis and osteoarthrosis. These diseases can affect all parts of the spine.
As for the appearance of pain in the buttocks, they occur due to damage to two main parts of the spine - the sacral and lumbar. If a person has osteochondrosis, the pain will be aching. It especially intensifies under load. This disease has the following symptoms:
Such pain may appear due to problems associated with a paired, inactive flat joint. This joint is formed by the ear-shaped, cartilage-covered surfaces of the iliac bones. In this case, pain can spread over the entire outer gluteal surface and most often radiate from the inner thighs. Not very often, the cause of such pain can be injury to the hips and ligaments.
Such pain can be caused by displacement of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc with severe rupture of the fibrous ring. At first, the pain is felt only in the place where the damage to the disc itself occurred, then the pain intensifies sharply and is localized on the buttocks, spreading over the entire surface of the thighs. Pain that radiates to the leg appears only on one side.
This directly depends on where exactly the nerve roots are pinched. It is on that side that the leg weakens significantly, the skin gradually loses sensitivity, goosebumps and a tingling sensation appear. If the disease is not cured in time, it can lead to disruption of the functioning of those organs located in the pelvic area.
Quite severe pain radiating to the legs can occur due to radiculitis. In addition to pain, there is also a disturbance in the movement of the diseased lower limb. As this disease develops, the patient's skin, toes, and feet become numb. In addition, tingling, burning and chills may occur. Additional causes of these symptoms are presented in the table.
If a person has had a dislocation in the hip joint, then pain may appear not only on the inside of the buttocks, but also in the groin and thigh muscles. Various pelvic fractures can occur with sufficiently strong blows or falls from a great height. The main symptom is a feeling of sharp pain that does not go away.
In this case, a person’s movement in the hip joints is disrupted, swelling occurs, and subcutaneous hemorrhage occurs. Pain in the buttocks with serious injuries such as pelvic fractures and hip dislocation is very severe.
If these pains are pronounced, they can lead to traumatic shock - the patient must immediately take some kind of painkiller. In such a situation, you need to call an ambulance as quickly as possible.
If the iliac arterial circulation is impaired, the main symptom is pain in the buttock. It is worth noting that it is from these arteries that the entire process of nutrition of the lower extremities occurs. The cause of this unpleasant condition may be arthrosis, thrombosis and tumors that compress the vessels. In addition to pain, the following symptoms may be observed in the buttocks:
Very often, even the most experienced specialist cannot determine that pain in the buttock and thigh muscle is associated with any vascular pathology. To confirm the diagnosis, the patient will need to undergo special examinations.
Almost every pregnant woman has pain in her buttocks. The reasons for this are as follows:
Most often, pain in the lower back, thigh muscles, buttocks and legs occurs from 36 to 40 weeks of pregnancy. In addition to the fact that the uterus puts pressure on the muscles, it also has the same effect on the tendons.
If a pregnant woman has pain in her leg muscles, then she needs to do special gymnastics to get rid of such unpleasant sensations. If preventive measures are not taken, muscle spasms may occur.
Treatment of pain in the buttocks depends entirely on the nature of the pathology. In most cases, treatment for such symptoms is conservative, but as for purulent processes, in this case only surgical intervention will help. Treatment of pain due to various bruises, physical overload and some other minor injuries can be carried out independently.
To do this, you can use special anti-inflammatory, warming gels and ointments. Previous injections may cause pain and bruising. You can easily get rid of these symptoms with the help of an iodine network and a special alcohol compress.
If a person’s legs hurt only because of overwork, then it will be enough to just rest. If the pain in the buttocks is strong enough and does not go away for a long time, while the tendons are pulled, all the muscles of the thigh hurt, then you need to seek help from a specialist.
Remember that the necessary treatment must be prescribed and taken under the strict supervision of a doctor. Whatever the cause of unpleasant and painful sensations, only a qualified specialist can accurately diagnose and select the appropriate treatment.
You should never let a disease take its course or self-medicate, as this can only harm your health.
Why does pain in the lower abdomen radiate to the leg? What diseases can cause such unpleasant symptoms? How to diagnose and treat them? We will present the answers to all these questions in the materials of this article.
Acute pain in the lower abdomen among the fair sex is a fairly common symptom. It may be associated with disorders of the genitourinary system, and with pathologies of other systems, including neurological, musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal.
Most often, acute pain in the lower abdomen develops in women 24-35 years old. The development of such a symptom is observed in approximately every seventh patient.
Experts say that such a pathological condition may be a sign of a serious illness that requires immediate surgical or conservative treatment.
Symptoms of abdominal pain depend on which organs are affected by a particular disease. Most often, this pathological condition is associated with changes in:
The causes of pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with inflammatory processes occurring in one of the following structures and organs:
This pathological condition can be caused by completely different disorders. However, experts say that most often the syndrome in question occurs due to:
Pain in the groin that radiates to the leg can occur due to diseases of the genital organs such as the fallopian tubes, vagina and ovaries. Symptoms of such gynecological problems are:
Similar symptoms may occur due to endometriosis, adhesive disease, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cyst, adnexitis, residual ovary syndrome, vaginitis and ovulatory syndrome.
Why does pain in the lower abdomen radiate to the leg? This condition may be associated with the development of one of the following diseases:
It should be especially noted that uterine disorders can be accompanied not only by pain in the lower abdomen, but also by unpleasant sensations before and during menstruation, as well as during sexual intercourse. In addition, such pathologies are characterized by heavy menstrual bleeding, menstrual irregularities, fever, hardening of the uterus and its soreness.
Frequent pain in the lower abdomen often indicates pathologies in the urinary system, which may be associated with damage to the ureters, kidneys, bladder and urethra. In particular, discomfort may arise due to the development of such diseases:
The listed diseases are manifested by renal colic, pain in the lumbar region, fever, vomiting, nausea, blood in the urine, frequent urination, piercing pain at the end of urination, aching pain in the lower abdomen, cloudy urine, weakness, malaise, and others.
Why does pain in the lower abdomen radiate to the leg? This condition can occur with intestinal lesions, in particular:
Thus, intestinal disorders can occur due to the development of the following diseases:
Symptoms of appendicitis in women are manifested by acute pain, which is localized first in the epigastric region, and then concentrated on the right lower abdomen. In this case, painful sensations can radiate to the right leg and groin area. Also, common symptoms of appendicitis in women and men include nausea, vomiting, stool retention, fever and gas formation.
As for other intestinal disorders, they are characterized by bleeding from the rectum, loose stools with mucus or blood, abdominal pain on the left, decreased appetite, increased body temperature, weight loss, general malaise, bloating, flatulence, etc.
Most often, pain in the lower abdomen radiates to the leg due to neurological diseases. These include the following:
The first pathology is caused by damage to the ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric or genitofemoral nerve. These fibers can be damaged during hernia repair and during surgical operations on the pelvic organs. Such lesions are characterized by severe pain. In this case, the localization of pain depends on which nerve is affected (in the lower abdomen, in the lower back, along the inner surface of the thigh, in the groin area).
As for piriformis syndrome, it is characterized by damage to the deep pelvic muscle located under the gluteus maximus muscle. It originates from the inner region of the sacrum and goes to the femur.
When a spasm of this muscle develops, the sciatic nerve is pinched. By the way, the latter is the longest nerve in the human body.
With this pathology, the patient experiences severe pain in the buttock and thigh. In this case, painful sensations radiate to the groin, as well as to the back surface of the lower limb. Discomfort almost always increases when a person’s legs move, since during this process the entire affected nerve fiber is stretched.
If pain in the lower abdomen radiates to the left leg or right limb, then you should immediately consult a specialist.
To identify certain diseases that provoked the development of pain, the following diagnostic methods are used:
It should also be noted that, depending on the location of the pathological process, the patient may be prescribed:
What to do if there is severe pain in the lower abdomen, radiating to the legs? Therapy for the pathology that caused the development of pain in this area should be aimed at restoring the natural functioning of the affected organ, as well as improving the patient’s quality of life and preventing relapse of chronic diseases.
If you have symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease, you should immediately go to the hospital. Timely detection of such pathology can prevent an unfavorable outcome of the disease. The sign in question may represent a symptom not only of a gynecological problem, but also of a serious surgical pathology (including appendicitis).
Acute abdominal pain cannot be treated independently, especially in the following ways:
It must also be said that if pain in the lower abdomen is accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, deterioration of general condition, vomiting, uterine bleeding, fever, you should urgently seek medical help.
Acute or aching pain radiating to the leg can be eliminated using the following methods:
Diet therapy for this symptom may involve the use of a third or fourth table. In this case, the patient should strictly adhere to the diet. His diet should be varied and rich in vitamins.
Antibacterial therapy involves taking antibiotics, that is, drugs that selectively suppress the activity of harmful microorganisms. As a rule, such medications are prescribed for infectious and inflammatory processes.
Hormonal treatment involves the use of drugs containing sex hormones such as progesterone, testosterone and estrogen. Each of them is unique. The latter is responsible for the development of secondary and primary sexual characteristics, testosterone is responsible for performance and libido, and progesterone is for the onset and maintenance of normal pregnancy.
Laparoscopy is a procedure during which a special optical system is inserted into the abdominal cavity, which transmits an image of the internal organs to a monitor. With its help, you can remove benign and malignant formations, restore the patency of the fallopian tubes, etc.
Endoscopic treatments include colonoscopy, cystoscopy and hysteroscopy. Such procedures allow you to remove malignant and benign formations, stop bleeding, eliminate existing blockages, crush stones, excise polyps, cut adhesions, and so on.
Physiotherapy involves the use of the following techniques:
If the pain in the lower abdomen is very severe, then doctors prescribe medication aimed at eliminating the unpleasant syndrome. In this case use:
It should be especially noted that such drugs should only be prescribed by a doctor. This is due to the fact that their uncontrolled use can cause the following negative reactions:
All of the above should be taken strictly after meals.
It manifests itself as pain reminiscent of appendicitis. When walking, my right side hurt and it radiated directly to my leg. I was admitted to the hospital with suspected appendicitis. Pain radiating to the groin area. The pain may go down to the groin area on the right side.
2 weeks ago my right ovary was inflamed. 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.
4 cm, but doctors say that she shouldn’t hurt like that. I went to the village for the summer, there are no doctors here, I’m afraid it’s an appendix. Determining the causes of nonspecific pain is a serious task for neurologists, surgeons, obstetricians, gynecologists, traumatologists, orthopedists, and specialists in other medical fields. Diseases accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen are difficult to diagnose and can pose a serious danger to the patient's health.
Pain radiating, reflected to the right side, down the abdomen, from organs anatomically not related to the pelvic organs, are not considered in this text. Such pain, always nonspecific, accompanies numerous diseases and physiological abnormalities. The pain is usually combined with other symptoms that indicate the underlying cause of the disease.
The contents of the intestinal tract accumulate in the diverticulum pocket, irritating the nerve endings and causing pain in the right lower abdomen. In severe cases, the pathology is combined with intoxication.
This occurs due to cessation of blood flow, disruption of innervation, and intestinal walls. Inguinal hernia. Pathology is classified as a surgical disease. A hernia is a combination of two factors: a rupture of the internal layers of the abdominal wall; prolapse of the omentum, intestinal loops into the subcutaneous space. In severe cases, excruciating pain in the right lower abdomen is determined by total damage to the organ (cirrhosis of the liver) and biliary tract (cholecystitis).
In case of damage to the nerve fibers, the lower right abdomen manifests itself as pain in the indicated area. Pain syndrome in different parts of the body, including on the right (with right-sided lesions) in the lower abdomen. The pain develops over a short time. Pain develops when an obstruction forms along the urethra and it is impossible to remove urine outside the body.
Pathologies in the ureters are more often detected in women, due to the greater likelihood of inflammation of the female genital organs. Pain in the groin on the right should be expected when urine stops in the distal (lower) part of the right ureter.
Men and women get sick. Pain is caused by inflammatory processes, injuries, and infections of the genital organs. This determines the frequent manifestation of pain in the pelvic area, lower abdomen, including on the right.
There is an increased flow of blood to the pelvic organs, followed by stagnation and accumulation of blood in the uterine cavity. Pain in the absence of signs of inflammation is (primary algomenorrhea). Menstrual pain can be a consequence of gynecological inflammation, sexually transmitted infections (secondary algomenorrhea). If the discharge is irregular and accompanied by pain, this condition is called algodismenorrhea. Such pain is usually not intense or occurs periodically.
The pain is combined with vaginal bleeding of varying intensity. Cramping pain in the lower abdomen can transmit an impulse to the right when the corresponding pain receptors are irritated.
The pain is combined with manifestations of toxicosis in a pregnant woman. To avoid complications, you should contact a medical institution to provide qualified obstetric care. Abdominal pain on the right side is accompanied by an increase in temperature. A vesicle is formed on the ovary, filled with transparent, translucent contents, as a result the ovary enlarges.
In severe cases, surgery is indicated. Sometimes the pain radiates to the anus, right side of the lower abdomen or thigh. Apoplexy usually occurs during the period of ovulation. Depending on the location, the pathology develops in the genital area or beyond, for example in the intestines. Endometritis. Inflammation of the superficial layers of the uterine wall. In some cases, its deep layers are involved in the pathological process - endomyometritis.
In severe cases, it can result in purulent inflammation, accumulation of exudate in the uterus (pyometra). The lymphatic system performs protective functions in the body. Lymphadenitis is an inflammation of the lymph node, in this case the inguinal one. Right-sided inflammation of the node is accompanied by an enlargement of the node, manifested in the form of a painful, strictly limited swelling, pain on the affected right side, in the lower abdomen.
The main reason is stagnation of blood in the pelvic vessels. It develops during hormonal changes in the body, including puberty and pregnancy. In the first stages it may be asymptomatic, or with periodic pain, before or after menstruation.
Pain during pregnancy. They did an ultrasound and found a cyst. In general, if something hurts, then you should not delay it, but go to the hospital. He finally found appendicitis, they operated on me that same morning, they said that another day and the appendix would have burst! Pain develops in the later stages of inflammation.
