In the doctor's office, you can often hear complaints of back pain. This phenomenon occurs at any age, for example, in schoolchildren due to curvature spinal column, and in older people due to attacks of angina, etc.

Looking for reasons

But sometimes it happens that the back hurts only in the lower right back or the pain is localized only in the right side.

In any case, this phenomenon does not simply occur and you need to consult a specialist, because many diseases are characterized by this symptom:

• Central part of the back on the right – kidney problems;
• On the right under the scapula – possible neurology (pinched nerve). Also, localization in this area may indicate a disease that has affected the lung. Sometimes they show up like this cancerous tumors lungs and bronchi, as well as pneumonia and pleurisy. The same can be said about the left side of the back;
• Under the ribs on the right side. Here are located gallbladder and liver. Damage to any of the above organs causes pain. If this phenomenon is observed for a long time, then first of all it is necessary to check the liver. When the pain is accompanied by other symptoms (nausea and vomiting, fever, tension in the abdominal muscles), then this is an attack of cholecystitis. In some cases, it can radiate to other areas of the body, but most often to the right shoulder and shoulder blade;
• On the lower right side of the back, there is damage or pathology of the spinal column/intervertebral hernia. Also, localization in this area indicates a disruption of the urinary system. In the latter case, the pain does not subside even with a change in body position;
• Painful sensations only in the morning - unsuitable mattress, but perhaps more serious problem– muscle dystrophy.

Nature of pain in the lumbar region

This unpleasant phenomenon It can be either temporary or periodic in nature. In the first case, pain usually appears only with sudden movement, as well as after being in an uncomfortable position, for example, sitting.

Acute attacks can occur when trying to bend over or straighten up:

• Cramping is usually associated with contraction of the muscles of the hollow organs;
• Constant signals about stretching of the membrane of parenchymal structures;
• Increasing – inflammatory process;
• Acute - rupture of a formation, organ, blockage of blood vessels, intra-abdominal bleeding;
• Shooting – problems with the spinal cord or nervous system;
• Long lasting;
• Drawing, aching, dull;
• Short, etc.

Despite their character, they are not normal condition body, but indicate a violation in it. Therefore, for any warning sign you need to visit a doctor. If your right side hurts from your back, you can simply take painkillers, but there are situations when urgent medical assistance.

There are several diseases that require surgical treatment and even surgical intervention, and a person’s life may depend on the speed of assistance. When pain occurs suddenly and sharply, does not stop and is localized on the right side of the back, this is a reason to call an ambulance.

It is also necessary to do this in case of acute, sudden pain above the lower back under the ribs and in cases where pain is accompanied by dizziness and loss of consciousness.

Back pain on the right in the area above the lower back:

• Nagging pain in women can signal a disease in the gynecological area;
• This is often a symptom in men initial stage prostatitis;
• Those whining talk about osteomyelitis. This disease requires a particularly thorough examination, including x-rays of bone tissue;
• Severe bruise, fall, injury;
• If the lower back and right side of the back hurt at the same time, this may indicate cholecystitis, hepatitis, pneumonia (right-sided), pyelonephritis, hepatomegaly;
• Incorrect posture caused by spinal deformation, for example, scoliosis.

Most often, the pain is localized in the place where the problematic structure is located. That is, pain indicates pathology in organs in a specific place, but there are cases when this phenomenon is located far from the source of inflammation and spreads to the most unexpected points of the body.

Back pain in the lumbar region to the right of the spine

The right side of the body contains vital organs, which is why you need to seek help from professionals, talking about your well-being and your own observations.

Many people periodically feel back pain on the right side under the ribs. It varies in its characteristics, severity and duration. In the vast majority of situations, this symptom implies the presence of changes in the internal organs. In addition, pain can radiate to the right side, back from other parts of the body, and sometimes also occur in healthy people. Therefore, if this occurs, you should pay close attention to it and go through the necessary medical examination to find out why it appeared and begin timely treatment.

It happens that discomfort on the right front and back appears in a more or less healthy person. As a rule, this manifests itself in the following situations.

• Pain in the side during or after physical activity. Unprepared for physical activity People often report that they experience intense, sharp pain in the right hypochondrium during or after playing sports (for example, running, bending over) or performing strenuous activities. physical work, especially associated with lifting heavy objects, carrying them, etc. This is explained as follows: with such a load, adrenaline is released into the blood, the bile ducts are stretched due to stagnant bile. At this point in time, more blood enters the liver, its capsule increases, which causes stabbing pain on the right, which goes to the back.
• Pain in the right side, under the ribs in the back, is almost always felt during physical activity immediately after eating.
• Spasms of the diaphragm during physical activity provoke a dull pain reaction under the rib in the back. It appears when deep breathing, coughing, sneezing. Such sensations are short-lived; it happens that a person feels better with slight pressure. When breathing is restored at the end of the workout, the pain stops.

Rehabilitation doctor Sergei Nikolaevich Agapkin understands what pain is talking about:

• Pain under the ribs in front and behind in women can be of physiological origin. For example, within a few days before the start of the next menstruation, spasms of the biliary tract occur, caused by hormonal imbalance which manifests itself as pain. Sometimes this condition is caused by the use of hormonal drugs birth control pills. Pain in the right side can be both dull and acute.
• Pain in the right side of the back and side is often observed during pregnancy. This is explained by the peculiarities of physiology. Uterus in last trimester pregnancy increases significantly, putting pressure on nearby internal organs. After giving birth healthy woman no such pain is observed.
• Often, healthy people experience discomfort in the back and sides after a night's rest. As a rule, this is not dangerous and stops if you replace uncomfortable sleeping accessories (mattress, pillow).

Causes of pain in the right side

Several vital ones at once internal organs are in human body right. Here are located:

• Liver.
• Gallbladder and biliary tract.
• Head of the pancreas.

• Intestines.
• Appendix.
• Right kidney.

Accordingly, the condition for the manifestation of a pain reaction on the right is a disturbance in the functioning of any of the above organs. To find out this accurately, you should identify the frequency, severity and characteristic features pain because various pathologies appear different types pain, as well as associated symptoms. It must also be remembered that pain in right hypochondrium Dysfunction of the lungs, bronchi, heart, stomach and spine may result. Let us consider in more detail which diseases are characterized by this symptom and what should be done in each specific case.

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver

If a person feels pain on the right side of the back, first of all, dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract should be excluded. Disturbances in their functioning are often the causes of pain. Very often, the manifestation of pain is directly related to food intake. In addition to pain in this situation, additional symptoms are observed:

• Nausea, vomiting.
• Bitterness in the mouth.

Cause of heartburn

• Heartburn.
• Lack of appetite, etc.

With such symptoms, the patient should consult a gastroenterologist.

Most often, pain in the right hypochondrium is caused by the following diseases:

1. Chronic or acute pancreatitis - manifested by nausea, pain spreading to the back. The patient is suffering intestinal disorders, feeling of weakness, fever, bloating. The inflammatory process is provoked cholelithiasis, inflammation of the duodenum, alcohol poisoning. Acute and chronic forms of the disease differ in the intensity and frequency of pain. If the disease develops for a long time, the structures of pancreatic tissue undergo irreversible changes. In case acute form diseases quickly relieve pain, the patient is given medications that block enzyme activity. Be sure to limit your food intake. The chronic form is treated by following dietary recommendations, taking painkillers, and vitamins.
2. Cholecystitis (acute or chronic) also manifests itself as pain in the back under the ribs. In acute inflammatory processes in the gallbladder, patients report high fever, malaise, nausea, repeated vomiting, severe pain radiating to the right shoulder blade and shoulder. The cause of the pathology is stones in the gall bladder, blocking the bile ducts, which is why bile does not come out. In the chronic form of the disease, the pain becomes periodically recurring and dull. The patient's appetite decreases and he feels a bitter taste in his mouth. Following dietary recommendations prevents pain syndrome, its frequency and severity.
3. Inflammation of the appendix often results in pain in the right side under the ribs. Although the diseased organ is located in the lower abdomen, pain may also be reflected in the upper part abdominal cavity, which misleads the patient and the doctor. To determine the appendix initial examination The patient's abdomen is palpated while lying on his back. Not diagnosed in a timely manner can lead to death.

About symptoms and treatment chronic pancreatitis say gastroenterologist Igor Vladimirovich Gorodokin and interventional cardiologist German Shaevich Gandelman:

1. Gastritis, stomach and duodenal ulcers, in addition to a pain reaction, usually dependent on food intake, are also accompanied by belching.
2. Pain on the right side under the rib, bitterness in the mouth, belching are also accompanied by the following conditions: gallbladder dyskinesia, inflammatory processes in the bile ducts, duodenum. Similar signs become less pronounced if you follow medical recommendations on nutrition and take the necessary medications.
3. Stones in the gall bladder or bile ducts form as a result of stagnation of bile, high level salts, which contributes to the appearance of sediment in this organ. Clinical picture the disease manifests itself only on late stages its development. It includes: deterioration in the functioning of the gallbladder, accompanied by pain on the right side of the back under the ribs, belching and bitterness in the mouth, and nausea. Renal colic is especially painful if the ducts are clogged with a stone. Pathology is diagnosed by general clinical tests, ultrasound, and MRI. Treatment involves taking hygiene measures and following a diet. In the most advanced forms - surgery to remove stones or the entire organ.

In the video, doctors deal with the causes, symptoms and treatment of gallstones:

1. If there are disturbances in the functioning of the liver, then their signs are a dull pain from the back, which in some cases is characterized as bursting. This symptom can bother the patient throughout the whole day. Very often observed with overeating, poisoning, abuse alcoholic drinks. Hepatitis of various etiologies is characterized by bloating and pain in the right side, especially after eating fried, smoked, very salty or spicy foods. Cirrhosis of the liver changes the structure of its tissues, its cells die. A person has a pain under the ribs on the right, which resonates in the back. Accompanied by pain strong burning sensation, and symptoms appear already at initial stages development of pathology. In the most advanced conditions, the liver damaged by cirrhosis becomes smaller, it cannot cope with its functions, and the probability of death of the patient is high. Pain in the side and back that occurs after eating characterizes duodenitis.
2. Diseases colon can cause pain in the right side under the ribs in the back. The severity and frequency of occurrence of this symptom depends on the degree of distension of the colon. Colitis, Crohn's disease, and neoplasms also manifest themselves as pain.

Sections of the colon

1. Subhepatic abscess - purulent inflammation between the liver and intestines, is a complication after surgery on the abdominal organs. Symptoms of the pathology vary depending on where the abscess appears, its size, and the underlying disease. Most often, patients experience pain in the right side, which intensifies during inspiration and radiates to the back. The pain is accompanied by chills, low blood pressure, violation heart rate. Pathology is detected using ultrasound, x-ray, and CT. Patients are treated in a hospital.

Kidney and urinary tract diseases

Kidney and urinary tract diseases are considered the most common causes of right back pain. The characteristics of pain depend on the disease; they are almost always accompanied by general malaise and problems with urination. Urologists and nephrologists deal with kidney pathologies.

• Pyelonephritis is an infection of the kidneys caused by pathogenic microbes. The likelihood of the disease is higher if the patient has furunculosis, osteomyelitis, sexual dysfunction, or other infections. There are acute and chronic pyelonephritis. The main symptoms of the disease: dull, aching pain, which becomes stronger with movement, with hypothermia, accompanied by pain when urinating. During the period of exacerbation there is high temperature, malfunctions of the digestive system. Diagnosis is made by clinical tests urine (for sterility, according to Nechiporenko), ultrasound, CT and other special studies. Consultation with a urologist and gynecologist is required to exclude sexually transmitted diseases. reproductive system. Treatment is based on taking antibacterial medications and some recommendations for food intake (eating hot, spicy foods should be avoided). From folk remedies It is recommended to use diuretic and anti-inflammatory infusions.

• Urolithiasis - urological disease, which is characterized by the formation of sand and stones in excretory system. Develops due to improper metabolism, leading to the formation of salt deposits, insoluble and not excreted naturally with urine. Often occurs due to hereditary predisposition. The degrees of pathology are distinguished by the size of the stone formed. From a few millimeters in the initial stages of the disease to several centimeters in the later stages. The main symptom is a sharp, burning sensation near the navel, in the perineum, if the stone has blocked the ureter, which has stopped the outflow of urine. The chronic form is manifested by a person’s back aching and pain on the right side, especially severely after physical activity, running, or lifting heavy objects. The treatment method depends on the patient’s condition and the severity of the pathology. Treatment is therapeutic: uroantiseptics, diuretics, vitamins, physiotherapeutic procedures, and therapeutic exercises are prescribed. If necessary, the patient is offered surgical intervention.

Urolithiasis: 1 - stone in the pelvis, 2 - stone in the ureter, 3 - stone in the ureteric orifice, 4 - stone in the bladder

• Chronic glomerulonephritis, kidney prolapse, necrosis of the renal papillae, acute upper paranephritis and other pathological renal disorders can also manifest as back pain between the ribs. If this symptom is detected, as well as disturbances in the outflow of urine ( insufficient quantity, blood in the urine, etc.) you should definitely contact a urologist.

Diseases of the chest organs

Soreness in the ribs is a sign of disease respiratory organs and hearts. The strength of its expression varies: from mild to intense. Additionally, cough, shortness of breath, hard breathing. With such symptoms, you should contact a pulmonologist, phthisiatrician, or cardiologist.

• Inflammation of the lungs changes the structure of their tissues. It is characterized by acute pain in the chest and back, especially increasing with coughing and sudden movements. Accompanied by fever, chills, weakness. Diagnosis is made using X-ray image, Ultrasound. For treatment, a course of antibiotics is prescribed.

You will learn about the signs, symptoms and treatment of pneumonia by watching the video:

• Pleurisy affects the pleura (the membrane that covers the lungs). Often the disease develops against the background of allergies, tuberculosis, and pancreatitis. A cutting pain syndrome is felt under the ribs in front and behind, accompanied by a strong cough, difficulty breathing, elevated temperature. Pathology is diagnosed using X-rays and ultrasound. Treatment is selected depending on what caused the pleurisy. In addition to medications, physiotherapeutic measures and exercise therapy are prescribed.
• Oncological diseases are also accompanied by girdle pain of varying severity. In addition, weight loss, shortness of breath, and hemoptysis are observed. Oncologists treat pathology.

Other diseases

To exclude diseases of the spine if you have existing back pain, you should pay attention to other manifestations of pathologies. The pain syndrome increases significantly with intense movements, decreases or completely stops at rest. It is complemented by tension in the back muscles and numbness in the arms. With traumatic bone injuries, the pain under the ribs in the front and back becomes stronger if the person coughs or bends over. With these signs, they turn to a surgeon or traumatologist.

• If a person has osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine, then he will notice muscle stiffness, limited mobility, pain in the back, below and above the lower back, which responds to upper limbs. They are characterized and continued in different ways. Used in the treatment of pathology various drugs to relieve pain and inflammation, as well as a variety of additional methods: massage, therapeutic exercises, physical therapy.

• Intercostal neuralgia is another disease that is characterized by painful sensations on the right side under the rib. They are characterized as stabbing and can occur in different parts bodies. They intensify when a person makes movements with the body: turns, bends. Similar symptoms observed in muscle inflammation - myositis.
• Shingles, spreading throughout the body in the form of rashes similar to herpes, is accompanied by an itchy burning sensation and a pain reaction. In this case, consult a dermatologist.

Particular attention should be paid to the child’s complaints of pain in the right side in order to prevent the development of any serious diseases.

The abdominal cavity on the right side contains several extremely important organs. If any of them gets sick, then one of them clear symptoms pathology may be pain on the right side, radiating to the back. It is not recommended to independently determine the cause of its appearance, much less take any medications, without consulting your doctor.

Sometimes illness overtakes us suddenly, takes us by surprise, leading to panic and rash actions. When we feel pain on the right side from the back , You should not make hasty decisions and “drown out” the symptoms with painkillers. It is worth understanding what causes these sensations and only after identifying the cause, begin to eliminate it. Let's consider several variants of the disease based on pain symptoms.

Gives it to the back

If persistent pain on the right side of the back does not subside within a few hours, this may mean that the cause lies in the disease, and not in an uncomfortable bed. This is not at all a matter of the usual aching of old joints or the spine; the reason is much more serious. Here you will need to consult a doctor, because the right side hurts and radiates to the back for several reasons:

• with pathology of the reproductive system;
• kidney disease;
• pinching sciatic nerve;
• malfunction of the circulatory system;
• respiratory diseases;
• heart disease.

Each of these reasons is quite serious and many people become overly nervous about it. However, there are many favorable ways solutions to this problem. It is important to understand the root causes of the disease and correctly and successfully eliminate them.

If persistent, permanent pain in the right side radiates to the back , experts will advise you to go in-depth examination and receive qualified diagnostics. It is important to know exactly where the pain is. In the place where the brain receives a signal about a problem, pathology most often lies.

And only if you consult a doctor in a timely manner, it is possible to effectively localize the disease, and then completely eliminate the disease. My patients use a proven remedy, thanks to which they can get rid of pain in 2 weeks without much effort.

But there are often cases when pain in the right side from the back is caused by organs located far from the apparent source. Such phenomena in medicine are called irradiating, i.e. such that they can cover not only adjacent areas of the affected organ, but also give off in unexpected places.

If there is pain in the right side of the back, the pain is characterized by several signs:

• static;
• pulsating;
• sharp;
• non-stop;
• increasing;
• shooting;
• pulling;
• chronic;
• stupid.

If the right side behind the back constantly hurts , then, most likely, this indicates that in the body goes wrong exchange substances, more precisely proteins. Throbbing pain occurs in the muscles of the hollow organs during their uncontrolled, chaotic contractions. Sharp pain appears when moving and stones entering the ureter.

It limits and sometimes paralyzes movement, making it impossible to even turn over in bed. Also, nagging and increasing pain appears when the gallbladder becomes inflamed or as a result of acute or chronic pancreatitis. Sometimes a person does not understand why the side on the right side and the back hurts , as if a pin had been stuck there. After a visual examination and palpation, the doctor will identify a connection with the pancreas.

Very often it occurs due to deformation of the spine, inconvenient stay in an uncomfortable position for a long time. This is facilitated by permanent job sitting, incorrectly selected chair height or low physical activity.

Problems with the spine arise after various injuries and therefore the right side hurts. This serves as a reason to consult a doctor. Shooting occurs due to pathologies spinal cord or inflammation of the sciatic nerve. A specialized specialist can determine the exact cause of such sensations.

Under the ribs

Nomadic pain caused by a number of reasons is detected when the right side hurts from the back under the ribs . Possible cholecystitis, determined by these signs, will give additional discomfort. Chronic pathologies digestive organs can be the answer to the question: what hurts in the right side of the back?

Similar symptoms accompany benign and malignant tumors of internal organs in the gastrointestinal tract. If there is a nagging pain in the right side of the back, it is similar to the disease duodenitis. The above symptoms, as well as profuse sweating and bitter belching, complete the list of signs of these diseases.

If there is a feeling of fullness, then this may be a relapse of cholecystitis. From the moment the symptom appears, it is worth applying a strict diet, because acute pain is sometimes “quenched” by hunger, which has a beneficial effect on stabilizing the patient’s condition.

If the gallbladder is not working properly, it also hurts in a similar way. All these diseases cannot be cured on their own; when they appear, you should sound the alarm and call ambulance. In the future, only specialists can help cure the disease.

In the lower back

Seizures often occur. Most often they are caused by age-related changes in muscle structure, redistribution of the load on them and increased work new group muscles that were previously not capable of performing such tasks.

It becomes known why the right side behind the back hurts , if changes are diagnosed by ultrasound or x-ray. After checking with the doctor how strong the changes are, apply various ways treatment.

If dull pain progresses in the right side from the back , Most likely, this is caused by kidney pathology. Pyelonephritis, nephritis, as well as urolithiasis characterized by a non-local character. Pain in right lower back , caused by such diseases. Persistent lack of appetite causes inflammation of the kidney and impaired urination.

Also, if appendicitis is detected, then it becomes clear why the right side from the back hurts. Referred pain immediately reveals itself, which is often misleading. Similar symptoms are common in heart and lung disease. But the diagnosis can only be established with thorough examination patient and studying all tests.

The reasons why there is pain in the right side of the back can be mechanical, i.e. caused by various injuries and damage to internal organs. Sharp physical activity, can also cause pain in the right side closer to the back.

Pregnant women should pay special attention to such deviations from the norm. If there is a pathology of internal organs, then their signs can appear very clearly, the area hurts greatly.

An acute pain in the right side of the back indicates changes in some internal organs. You will need to consult a doctor and follow all his recommendations.

From the above we can conclude: to determine the exact cause, you should undergo an examination and establish the nature of the disease and the place of its occurrence. A qualified doctor can diagnose the phenomenon using medical equipment.

However, if you have pain, sensations of this nature need to be monitored and responded to when they occur. If they appear for the first time, you should immediately consult a doctor. Only a specialist can determine the cause of their appearance.

Permanent occurrence similar phenomena will make it easier to understand their resumption, and also, time will not be lost on the use of medications that alleviate the condition. Unfortunately, diseases haunt us throughout our lives, however, having received information, we become more armed and ready to repel the attacks of illnesses.

Spinal diseases are dealt with by a vertebrologist or neurologist, with renal pathology consultation with a nephrologist or urologist is necessary. A gynecologist deals exclusively with female genitalia.

And if the cause is a pathology of internal organs, then the patient continues treatment with a therapist or gastroenterologist. An endocrinologist deals with metabolic disorders.
