Any pain in the abdominal area, which bothers more than 6 hours, is a sign of a surgical disease, and therefore it is very serious to treat this symptom. Consider the most common diseases, the clinical picture of which is characterized by pain in the right lower abdomen.
Appendicitis
Inflammation of the appendix is the first thing that should be suspected if the stomach is ill. First, the pain is localized under the spoon or around the navel, while wearing a pulling and bursting character. Usually discomfort occurs late at night or in the morning. In 2 - 4 hours after the first painful sensations the patient begins to feel sick. One-time vomiting is possible, from which it does not become easier. There is a digestive disorder - constipation or diarrhea.
After 3 to 4 hours, the pain begins to localize on the right side of the abdomen in the ileum. The patient is feverish. In this case, immediately call an ambulance.
Acute cholecystitis
Inflammation of the gallbladder makes itself felt paroxysmal pain in the right hypochondrium. The patient complains that she gives in the right shoulder blade and shoulder. At first the pain is dull, but with the development of inflammation it becomes more intense.
Other important symptoms, in addition to abdominal pain on the right:
- nausea and vomiting;
- increased temperature and pulse;
- distinct taste of bitterness in the mouth;
- dry knitted tongue.
In vomit masses can detect bile impurities.
Conducting palpation, the doctor will reveal the muscle tension in the right hypochondrium and the greatest soreness in this place, as well as signs of irritation of the peritoneum.
Right-side adnexitis
Inflammation of the appendages in women is also accompanied by aching pain in the right lower abdomen and / or left, which radiates to the sacrum and waist. At the same time there is an increase in temperature and a violation of the menstrual cycle with painful periods. The patient experiences pain during intercourse, which does not subside for several hours afterwards. Possible watery or purulent discharge, pain during the emptying of the bladder.
It is very important to apply to a female doctor at first, without letting adnexitis go into a chronic form, which is fraught with serious complications right up to infertility. With chronic inflammation of the appendages, the symptoms cease to be pronounced, but the pulling pain on the right in the lower abdomen does not go away.
Renal colic
This syndrome is typical for many diseases of the urinary tract and is accompanied by severe pain, which is undulating cutting character. Initially, it concentrates in the lower back, but then begins to give to the genital area, thighs and groin.
Desires to the toilet are becoming more frequent, but it is difficult to empty the bladder to the patient. Often colic is accompanied by a loose stool and vomiting. In the urine, you can find particles of stones, salt or blood.
Attacks have a protracted character and stop only for a short time. Although the kidneys are located behind, most patients who survive colic claim that it is the lower abdomen on the right and / or left that the intensity of pain is greatest.
be careful
The diseases listed above are the most common and have a fairly similar symptomatology, so it is not possible to identify the cause of the pain in the lower abdomen to the right. It can also be caused by a perforated ulcer, intestinal infarction or intestinal obstruction, infringed inguinal, umbilical or femoral hernia, inflammation of the small and large intestine (enterocolitis). As you can see, there is not a single "non-serious" disease on the list, and therefore, with a symptom such as a pain in the abdomen on the right, you should not joke, especially if it makes itself felt more than six hours in a row. In no case should you take any medication other than No-shpa, or warm / cool the sore spot.
