Each of us has faced such a problem as pain in the right side more than once - overeating, various stresses and experiences, as well as bad habits- all this can cause discomfort in this area. And most often we do not attach any importance to such pain sensations, assuming that the reasons due to which discomfort arises in the right side are not serious enough and they do not pose a great danger to our health. However, in fact, such painful sensations can be symptoms of many dangerous diseases, which, if not detected in time, can pose a great threat to our health. In this article, we will tell you about why the right side may hurt, as well as what to do if your right side hurts.

Classification of pain in the right side

Pain in the right side can be of a different nature, thanks to which it is possible to determine the cause of these pain sensations. Next, we will tell you what different types of pain in the right side may indicate:

dull pain that comes on gradually and gets worse and doesn't get better enough long time. This type of pain most often indicates any existing chronic diseases of the abdominal organs;

acute pain that begins completely suddenly and which in shortest time increases greatly. This type of pain is a symptom of the presence of hepatic colic in cholelithiasis;

aching pain that occurs regularly and which can be compared with a feeling of heaviness in the right side. This type of pain indicates the presence of a chronic inflammatory process in the mucous membrane of the large intestine (colitis) or the presence of an inflammatory process in the gallbladder (chronic cholecystitis);

cramping pain, the intensity of which constantly changes from a weak attack to a strong one, and vice versa. This type of pain occurs against the background of intestinal spasm in its various pathologies.

Localization of pain in the right side

pain in the right hypochondrium. In the right hypochondrium we have the liver and gallbladder; it is the failures in their work that cause regularly occurring bouts of aching pain, which, in turn, can be compared with a feeling of heaviness;

pain in the middle of the abdomen. The pain that manifests itself in this place indicates the presence of pathological processes in the large intestine (colitis);

lower abdominal pain. The pain that occurs in this place can appear for various reasons. So, for example, in men, the lower abdomen can get sick due to infringement of the inguinal hernia or because of the appendix. In women, this pain can also be associated with appendicitis, however, in addition, these painful sensations may indicate the presence of any diseases of the ovaries and their appendages;

pain in the umbilical region. If you have pain in the navel, then in this case the body signals the presence of an inflammatory process in the small intestine called enteritis;

pain in the right side in the back. In this case, pain can occur for two different reasons: either due to a liver abscess, or due to pleurisy of the chest.

Causes of pain in the right side

So, as we have already said, pain in the right side can be associated with various diseases of the genitourinary and digestive systems. Next, we will tell you about the most common diseases that are accompanied by a similar painful symptom.

Bowel disease

Appendicitis. This disease can be conditionally divided into two types - acute appendicitis and chronic, where in each individual case the patient feels completely different painful sensations. So, for example, in chronic appendicitis, the pain is aching and pulling. In acute appendicitis, the patient is accompanied by quite intense and stabbing pains in the lower abdomen, which increase significantly with the slightest movement. As this disease "develops", the pain begins to be acute, thereby forcing the patient to take a certain position, namely, to lie on his right side, tightly pressing his knees to his stomach, which, in turn, in this situation becomes very hard. It should be borne in mind that with similar symptoms, it is imperative to immediately call ambulance because this disease requires immediate surgical intervention;

Hepatitis. With this disease, the essence of which is the presence of an inflammatory process in the liver, the patient constantly feels a feeling of heaviness in the right hypochondrium. And this feeling arises due to the fact that the liver itself increases in size, thereby stretching the capsule. Also, in patients with hepatitis, very often this painful symptom manifests itself during movement, for example, while walking or running;

Chronic cholecystitis. The essence of this disease is the presence of an inflammatory process in the mucous membrane of the gallbladder, while the patient is accompanied by pulling pains and a feeling of heaviness in the right hypochondrium. Often the pain syndrome manifests itself after drinking alcohol and fatty and fried food. By the way, in this case, for a cure, you must adhere to a strict diet;

Colitis or inflammation of the large intestine. With this disease, which, in turn, occurs due to the presence of an infection or an autoimmune disease, the patient is accompanied by a pulling pain in the right side;

Liver abscess. With this disease, a certain cavity with pus forms in the liver tissue, which in turn occurs against the background of chronic cholecystitis or against the background of cholelithiasis. A patient with a liver abscess feels pain in the right side from the back. This disease is treated only surgically, so it is better not to delay a visit to a specialist;

Enteritis or inflammation of the small intestine. This disease occurs due to spasms of the intestine itself, while the patient feels cramping pain in the navel on the right;

Pancreatitis. The essence of this disease is an inflammatory process in the pancreas. With pancreatitis, the patient feels pain, which is localized in the right and left hypochondrium;

2. Diseases of the kidneys and genitourinary system

Pyelonephritis of the right kidney. With this disease, the patient feels girdle pain in the right side. Another symptom of pyelonephritis is a decrease in urine during urination;

Right-sided adnexitis and orphoritis. These diseases of the internal female genital organs are most often accompanied by pulling pain in the lower abdomen on the right; at the same time, painful sensations can be intense;

Premenstrual syndrome. Of course, premenstrual syndrome has nothing to do with the disease, rather, it is just a physiological feature of each individual female body, however, the patient may be accompanied by quite severe pain in the lower abdomen. To eliminate the pain syndrome in this case, it is necessary to resort to the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;

Prostatitis or inflammation of the prostate. This disease is most often affected by men over the age of forty, who feel painful sensations of a pulling nature in the lower abdomen on the right and left sides;

Infringement of inguinal hernia. It should be noted right away that this disease requires mandatory surgical intervention, because this infringement can lead to necrosis (necrosis) of the hernial sac. The symptoms of an incarcerated inguinal hernia are as follows: a sharp pain in the lower abdomen that occurs after performing any heavy physical exertion;

Urethritis. The essence of this disease is an inflammatory process in the urethra, which is accompanied by burning and pain at the time of urination. At the moment when the inguinal lymph node is "involved" in this process, the patient feels a pulling pain, which is localized in the groin area on the right.

Additional symptoms

In addition to the pain in the right side itself, the patient may also be accompanied by "additional" symptoms, which, in turn, also help to establish the correct diagnosis. Next, we will tell you in more detail about what their presence can mean:

Increased body temperature:

regularly fever body one or two degrees above normal - clear sign the presence of a normal inflammatory process in the organs;

temperature constantly changing throughout the day, rising above two degrees relative to the norm - a symptom of the presence of any purulent processes in the internal organs;

2. Vomiting and nausea. These symptoms can occur with absolutely any diseases associated with the digestive, genitourinary and nervous system, which is why nausea or vomiting cannot indicate any specific disease;

3. Burning. This painful symptom is manifested in diseases of the pelvic organs. In this case, the patient may feel pain during urination and during sexual contact.

Pain on the right side in the upper lateral region may indicate pathological damage to the kidneys, pancreas, ailments of the hepatobiliary tract, and sometimes damage to the lung tissue.

For accurate differential diagnosis, it is necessary to collect complete patient history data, pay attention to the data laboratory tests, and then establish a diagnosis, on the basis of which further therapy will be carried out. There are clinical cases when examination is necessary at once from several doctors. Soreness on the right at the level of the waist manifests itself for a number of different reasons.

To establish the exact causes of pain in the right side, a diagnostic examination is necessary.

If the pain is localized from the back at waist level, this is a sign of renal colic.
	Dull nature of the pain may occur along with constipation. With the localization of pain in the right hypochondrium, an inflammatory process of the appendage or cirrhosis of the liver is diagnosed. Pain occurs in the lower abdomen for the following reasons: ● inflammatory process in the intestines; ●urolithiasis; ●pathology of the kidneys; ●problem ovulation; ● ectopic pregnancy.
	The beginning of the inflammatory process of the appendix. A similar symptom is manifested in cholelithiasis, colitis. In women, the aching nature of pain can occur during an inflammatory process in the appendages, and in men it can signal the presence of an inguinal hernia. From the side of the back, pain is localized in the case of an ovarian cyst, a pathological lesion of the kidneys. Ailments accompanied by aching pains: ●diseases of the gastrointestinal tract; ●prostatitis.
	Drawing pain can occur as one of the symptoms of the following diseases: ●cystitis; ●cholecystitis; ● colitis; ●prostatitis. Often this type of pain is characteristic of gynecological pathologies.

Most often, these are antibiotics and other drugs that have a toxic effect on the liver tissue. If a person has heart problems, then the liver can also suffer. Due to the fact that the heart cannot cope with its functions, stagnation of blood forms in the liver, which leads to the appearance of painful sensations.
• Diseases of the gallbladder. For the digestion of food, bile, which is produced by liver cells, plays a huge role. The main role of bile is the breakdown of fats, which then enter the intestines, and in this state can be absorbed into the blood. Excess bile enters the gallbladder. If a person consumes too much, then additional portions of bile come out of the gallbladder, since the bile produced by the liver may not be enough. In this case, if there is an infection or stones in the gallbladder, then the release of bile when eating fatty foods (or other choleretic products) may be accompanied by severe pain in the right hypochondrium.
• Diseases of the pancreas. This organ is located in the abdominal cavity and performs a number of important functions, in particular, it is responsible for the production of certain hormones and digestive enzymes. Severe pain in the right side, which is accompanied by nausea, vomiting and profuse sweating, can signal pancreatitis - inflammation of the pancreas.

Diaphragm enlargement is also noted during pregnancy. Other causes of diaphragmatic pain can be tumors of the diaphragm, hernia of the diaphragm, thinning of the right dome of the diaphragm (very rare), abdominal trauma, in which diaphragm ruptures are possible.
• Intestinal diseases. Often, with severe pain in the right hypochondrium, doctors suspect appendicitis. As a rule, this suspicion is not removed until other causes of such a symptom are discovered. With sharp pains in the right side, you should immediately seek medical help, because if the appendix ruptures, a person can die.

If the right side of the lower abdomen hurts a lot

Pain in the right side in the lower abdomen can occur due to the following reasons:

• Acute appendicitis . This is one of the most common causes of severe pain in the right side of the lower abdomen. As a rule, with acute appendicitis, pain is first felt in the pit of the stomach.

• Diseases of the urinary organs. may be associated with bladder or kidney disease. Sharp pain may indicate the advancement of a stone that descends into bladder along the ureter.

If the right side hurts a lot during pregnancy

During pregnancy, pain in the right side can occur due to the above diseases. Pregnant women may also have problems with the liver, appendix, pancreas and genitourinary system that gives these symptoms.

But most often, pain in the right side during pregnancy is associated with pressure from the uterus on the diaphragm, which causes aching pain and a feeling of heaviness.

In some cases, pain in the right side during pregnancy may indicate an ectopic pregnancy.

On later dates pregnancy, a woman is often worried about dyskinesia of the gallbladder and biliary tract. This violation can contribute to the appearance of the inflammatory process and the formation of stones. On the other hand, dyskinesia itself can be one of the manifestations of cholelithiasis.

As a rule, pains in the right side during pregnancy are aching and dull. Pain may be aggravated by fetal movements. In this case, the nature of the pain will largely depend on the position of the fetus in the uterus.

What to do if the right side hurts

If you are concerned about pain in your right side, then you should definitely consult a doctor to find out the causes of such a symptom.

This phenomenon usually accompanies sudden physical exercise(running, brisk walking) or eating disorders. In this case, an experienced gastroenterologist will say that you have congestion in the biliary tract. An overflowing gallbladder can respond to the tension of the anterior abdominal wall in this way. If, after an attack of pain in your right side, you feel discomfort along the intestines in the form of burning and spasms, this will only confirm the preliminary diagnosis in absentia. This will mean that the gallbladder under tension of the anterior abdominal wall has contracted, and bile has gone through the intestines. Most likely, the attack will end for you with loose stools and subsequent relief of the condition. But you should not ignore such a reaction of the body.

Right hypochondrium starts below the diagram

The location of the area, which is called the "right hypochondrium", begins below the diaphragm, which is hidden under the second rib on the right. Vertically, this space is bounded by a semicircle that covers the ribs on the right side from the midline of the abdomen to the back of the spinal column.

By localization, the location of organs in front and behind is determined. Horizontally from below, this area ends with a visual line that runs from the ilium to the navel. Below this line is the inguinal region.

Behind the anterior abdominal wall in the region of the right hypochondrium are the liver (above the costal arch in the physiological state), colon, duodenum, gallbladder, upper loops of the small intestine. Behind in this area, the tail of the pancreas and the right kidney can be identified. Back pain may also indicate radicular syndrome with osteochondrosis of the thoracic or lumbar part of the spinal column.

What are the causes of discomfort

In addition to the acute conditions listed above, pain in the right hypochondrium can cause cholecystitis, hepatitis, pancreatitis, helminthic invasion of the liver and gallbladder. If the sensations are localized behind, then a differential diagnosis of pyelonephritis and osteochondrosis of the lumbar and thoracic spine is carried out. In case of inflammatory processes in the kidneys, their pelvises and glomeruli, Pasternatsky's symptom will be positive (with a light blow with the edge of the palm on the lower costal edge from the back, the patient feels pain). With osteochondrosis, there is a radicular syndrome (drawing pains along the nerves) and tension syndrome (muscles along the spine are tense and painful on palpation).

If discomfort is caused by diseases of the liver and gallbladder, then the symptoms are accompanied by nausea, heaviness, poor health, yellowish coating on the tongue, bitterness in the mouth. On palpation of the anterior abdominal wall, a tense gallbladder or an increase and induration of the liver is determined.

With pancreatitis, pain in the right hypochondrium is diffuse and often turns into. Gallstone disease gives an attack of burning, acute, almost unbearable pain in the right side. This is often accompanied by vomiting and severe weakness. The patient feels chills. The skin is covered with a cold sticky sweat. The anterior wall of the abdomen is tense and painful.

Table: Localization of pain syndrome and symptoms of diseases
