Is the back pain in the kidney region bad? You may have problems with your back muscles or spine. But it can also be a symptom of kidney disease and other internal organs. Let's see why the back hurts in the kidney area, and whether it is possible to eliminate such pains independently.
Pain in case of problems with the muscles of the back or spine
The left or right side of the back hurts in the kidney area with chronic or acute osteochondrosis and radiculitis. The pain is sharp or pulling. With chronic forms of disease, it is shooting. During walking, the pain increases significantly and gives to the lower limbs.
Pain sensations in the kidney area can also arise because of:
- displacement of intervertebral discs;
- muscle spasm;
- arthrosis of the intervertebral joints.
They decrease immediately after rubbing anti-inflammatory warming ointments or gels. Over time, pain reappears, but with less force. You are concerned about the lumbar muscles or spine, when the onset of symptoms was preceded by a strong physical load.
Pain in kidney disease
If you have a back pain in the kidney area after sleep, it can be a sign of inflammatory kidney disease - pyelonephritis or glomerulonephritis . Also, such diseases can be assumed, when a few weeks before the onset of pain, you have suffered a flu, sore throat or other viral infection.
Did you subcool or get wet feet just before the pain? Then, most likely, they indicate an acute inflammation of the kidneys. Always pay attention to the localization of pain. In all kidney diseases (nephrosis, tumor, nephritis, turbeclosis), the left side of the back often hurts in the kidney area. It is localized below the ribs and sometimes irradiates:
- on the genitals (only external);
- in the abdomen;
- along the ureter.
Pain in diseases of internal organs
In the evening or in the mornings the back in the field of kidneys hurts? Such unpleasant sensations can be caused by various diseases of internal organs: peptic ulcer, endometriosis, chronic prostatitis, myoma, tumors of the stomach or large intestine. Pain in the kidney area with lesions of various internal organs have distinctive features. They appear abruptly both in motion and in a state of complete rest. There is no stiffness, and any local symptoms are rare.
Also, along with the pain in the patient can:
- deterioration of well-being;
- increase blood pressure;
- sweating and nausea.
What to do with pain in the kidneys?
You have a backache in the kidney area and you do not know what to do, and what caused this pain? First of all, limit the intake of fluid and exclude salt, as this provokes the appearance of edema and leads to increased kidney function. Also, you do not need to eat foods that contain a lot of potassium and phosphorus for a while. These are fried vegetables, canned goods, sour-milk products, dried fruits, apples and pears. If this does not help, it is necessary to undergo examination - to make ultrasound of the abdominal cavity , x-ray of the lumbar spine and to pass a general blood test.
The cause of pain is inflammatory kidney disease? You should take any anti-inflammatory drugs, for example, Ofloxacin or Ciprofloxacin. You can use for broth and broth of bearberry.
