Painful and unpleasant feelings in the left hypochondrium may indicate the presence of a wide variety of health problems, ranging from intercostal neuralgia and ending with cardiac diseases. Often the manifested symptoms are enough to assume this or that disease that has its own characteristics of clinical manifestation and flow. Why hurts left side under ribs and how to get rid of it, learn later.

The reasons

Given the nature of the pain and place of its localization, the reasons that provoke discomfort in the field of hypochondrium may be as follows:

  1. Pathology of the gastrointestinal bodies: ulcers, gastritis, pancreatitis, colitis, gastroduodenitis, cholecystitis.
  2. Neof formation internal organswhich put pressure on the nerve endings, provoking pain.
  3. Cardiovascular diseases: myocardial infarction, ischemia, cardiomyopathy.
  4. Pathological changes of the spleen, in which the blockage of its vessels occurs, which provokes thrombosis and gap (heart attack).
  5. Intercostal neuralgia at which large nerve roots roots are inflamed.
  6. The diaphragmal hernia and bruises.
  7. Left-sided pneumonia flowing into pleurisy.
  8. Urolithiasis disease.

Pathology data affect vital organsTherefore, it is not worth tightening with diagnosis and treatment.

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract

The main reason for the appearance of pain in the busty organs is an inflammatory process, which is due to the development of pathogenic microflora. Most often, the provocateur is the bacteria of the genus Helicobacter pylori, which are capable of firmly attached to the inner walls of the gastrointestinal organs, provoking inflammation. Pain in the left side under the ribs can be provoked by such diseases digestive system, as:

  1. Pancreatitis - inflammation of the pancreas, in which the body is not able to produce the desired amount of the secret necessary for a complete digestion of food in the stomach.
  2. Gastritis - the inflammatory process is localized in the upper stomach departments, causing heartburn, spastic pain and no appetite.
  3. The ulcer is a consequence of gastritis, which remained without treatment for a long time. The pathogenic microflora corps the walls of the stomach, which leads to the appearance of bleeding ulcers.
  4. Gastroduodenitis is an inflammatory process covering at the same time the lower gastric and duodenum.
  5. Colitis is an inflammatory process in a thick intestine, which is provoked mainly by a dysenteric wand.

View of pain
In acute pancreatitis pain spastic and skating. Any body movements cause pain. Gastritis and ulcers provoke the development of dagger pain, which over time is dull, but does not disappear without proper treatment.

The intestinal inflammation causes a feeling of cutting in the left hypochondrium, as well as spastic pains that can go to the overtakers.

Localization
Pancreatitis is determined if pains in the left hypochondrium, where the pancreas itself is located. Gastritis and ulcers can be given to the left hypochondrium, but the hearth bar is located in the place where inflammation is concentrated. Gastroduodenitis and colitis exhibit the painting pain of the left hypochondrium from the front wall abdominal cavity.
Diagnostics
In addition to the above symptoms, the pathology of the gastrointestinal bodies are diagnosed in the following ways:

  1. Common blood test, as well as blood on sugar.
  2. Blood test and feces.
  3. Ultrasound of the abdominal organs.
  4. Gastroscopy.
  5. Analysis of gastric juice, as well as cytology and gistology of smear.
  6. Endoscopy intestines.

Treatment
Therapy is aimed at the relief of acute attack of pain, as well as the further elimination of its cause - inflammation. For these purposes, medications are used as:

  1. Antibiotics to which the pathogenic microflora is less stable: cephalosporins, pinicillins, tetracyclines.
  2. Enzymes helping to split food: pancreatin, mezim.
  3. Probiotics stabilizing intestinal microflora: Linex, acipol, bifiform.

During treatment, it is important to observe a strict diet, as well as drink a lot of pure mineral water without gas.

In the event that the inflammatory process is extensive and threatens spreading to nearby fabrics and organs, a decision is made to remove part of the affected organ.

Tomb of internal organs

Determine the neoplasm internal organs yourself almost impossible. There should be such symptoms such as:

  • seals and dupile in the left hypochondrium, which cause sharp pain during palpation;
  • lack of appetite, feeling of the overflow of the stomach and intestines;
  • frequent constipation or diarrhea that cannot be regulated by medicines;
  • drilling, burning and heat in the abdominal cavity;
  • appearance blood discharge In Kale and vomit.

View of pain
Even if the neoplasm has a benign nature, its body, which is constantly increasing in volumes, puts pressure on the adjacent tissue, causing a stupid and new, but constant pain.

It is the constancy of pain that is a reason to suspect the presence of neoplasms.

Localization
Legal hypochondrium and the center of the abdominal cavity.
Diagnostics
It is possible to determine the presence of neoplasms using comprehensive diagnostics:

  1. Blood analysis, urine and feces.
  2. Ultrasound of the abdominal organs.
  3. MRI and CT.
  4. Radiograph.

Treatment
Therapy of the neoplasms is aimed at excision of tumor, as well as the correction of its growth. Preparations that affect the hormonal background, forcing the body to stop provoking rebirth and uncontrollable cell growth.

Heart pathology


Since the heart focuses on the left in the chest, its pathologies may well provoke pain in the left side under the ribs. Most often, irradiating pain in the left hypochondrium, which is combined with the participation of heartbeat, sideline and the deterioration of the general condition, may be associated with such heart diseases as:

  1. Ischemia is the insufficiency of the heart, which arises as a result of an acute lack of oxygen.
  2. Myocardial infarction - blockage of the coronary artery by Trombum, in which the blood ceases to flow to separate parts Hearts. In the acute flow of heart attack implies the rupture of the vessel wall, which entails extensive internal bleeding.
  3. Cardiomyopathy is a change in the heart muscle, which affects the decrease in its functions. It is the predecessor of heart failure, but does not have causal ties with arrhythmia and arterial hypertension.

View of pain
In diseases of the heart or heart attacks are noted tingling in the field of left breast And the left hypochondrium. A sharp pain can fade movement, and also intensify when inhaling, to make which "on the full breast" fails.

The clinical picture is complemented by the appearance of the sword, dizziness, speaking of the wet sweat.

Localization
The pain of the heart is located in the heart, and the pain in the left hypochondrium during inhale is less pronounced.
Diagnostics
Heart pathology are defined as follows:

  1. Deployed I. biochemical analysis blood.
  2. Ultrasound of the heart.
  3. Electrocardiogram.
  4. MRI vessels.
  5. CT scan.

Treatment
In the event of an attack need to call emergency help Since since the appearance of acute pain, the time goes for seconds and the life of a person often depends on the rapidness of hospitalization. The patient produces resuscitation measures aimed at stabilizing the work of the heart.

Problems with spleen


This organ is located deep in the hypochondrium on the left, so pain sensations can be evenly distributed both on the left hypochondrium and the upper loaf. Infectious diseases They lead to the defeat of the spleen, in which the organ increases in size, and also loses its ability to filter blood. But this is not the only pathology of the body that can cause pain on the left under the ribs. This can also be attributed:

  1. Pathology of development and neoplasm.
  2. Ears caused by a strong blow to the area of \u200b\u200bthe left hypochondrium.
  3. Rales of the spleen, in which abundant bleeding is formed into the abdominal cavity.


The most acute pain is noted when the body breaks due to injury. The patient cannot be inhale, and in the stomach there is a burning sensation and spill heat.
Localization
The pain appears on the left under the ribs, but may be irradiating to the zone area, groin and navel.
Diagnostics
The sinusiness of the skin near the navel, painful palpation of the left hypochondrium and unbearable pain - these are three complementary clinical manifestations of problems with the spleen. You can deliver a more specific diagnosis using the following diagnostic methods:

  1. Blood test.
  2. Ultrasound of the abdominal organs.
  3. MRI.

Treatment
In case of breaking, the spleen is required surgery on excision damaged tissues. Otherwise, treatment is reduced to receiving special medicines that support the health of the organ, which is complemented by a strict diet and lack of physical exertion.

If the spleen is damaged by pathogenic microorganisms, special antibacterial therapy is selected, allowing them to be suppressed.

Quite often confused with a heart attack, the symptoms of which is largely similar. However, intercostal neuralgia is not as dangerous and has no connection with the pathologies of the heart. This disease is determined by inflammation of nerve roots located between the edges of the thoracic spine. Most often, the inflammatory process occurs after injury or injury, as well as as a result of other inflammatory processes occurring in chronic form, located extremely close.
View of pain
Pulling pain arising in the form of an attack. Move moves, enhanced with breath, cough and sneezing.

Night pain in the left side under the ribs is noted in the presence of a chronic inflammatory process.

Localization
The hearth pain is in the place where there is inflammation. It can be sick as the entire zone of hypochondrium and individual sections, affecting specific ribs.
Diagnostics
It is important during the diagnosis to differentiate intercostal neuralgia among other, similar to manifestations, pathologies. For this use:

  1. Radiograph.
  2. MRI.
  3. Consultation of a neuropathologist with inspection and evaluation of pain.
  4. Electrospondylography.
  5. Myelography.


In case of acute attack and severe pain usedallowing you to quickly relieve unbearable pain. Further treatment is made using the reception of complex painkillers and, as well as vitamins of the group in the normalization and strengthening neural connections. As an auxiliary method, physiotherapy is used in its manifestations:

  • acupuncture;
  • electrophoresis;
  • mud baths.

Diaphragmal hernia and her bruises


The diaphragm separates the breast from the abdominal cavity, and when her muscles weaken, happens stomach protrusion Through the lumen in the chest cavity. As a result, the contents of the stomach is constantly thrown into the esophagus, the person suffers from pain, heartburn and abundant belching.

The bruise of the diaphragm is possible when falling from a height or targeted strike into its location.

View of pain
Dull pain in the left hypochondrium, which is amplified during palpation and after eating, if the volume of the stomach increases.
Localization
Since the diaphragmal lumen of the stomach is directed to the left, hurts on the left under the ribs. Also, pain can give back and left blade.
Diagnostics
The formulation of accurate diagnosis is possible only after hardware diagnostics: ultrasound of the diaphragm and abdominal organs, MRI, CT.
Treatment
If the hernia is small, there is an opportunity to deal with it with fractional nutrition, antacids and bubble pain. With an increase in the lumen, an operation is shown, with the help of which the lumen is invented, and the stomach is determined to its usual anatomical position.

Pneumonia and Purrites

Pneumonia is inflammatory process in the lungswhich is provoked by pneumococci. Pleurrites is a running step of pneumonia, when the inflammatory process falls below, affecting the pleura, enveloping the lungs.
View of pain
Breathing pain. Enharged with a sharp breath and exhale.

Acute, sweeping.

Localization
It hurts on the left side under the ribs, if pneumonia is left-sided. Pain may spread to the spine area, blades.
Diagnostics
Pneumonia and pleurisy are determined by examining a patient and evaluating its breathing. As a confirmation, the analysis of urine and blood, as well as an x-ray shot.

In particularly difficult situations, MRI may be required.

Treatment
Since the cause of inflammation is a pathogenic microflora, the key to the speedy recovery lies in the selection of proper antibacterial therapy. As auxiliary means, facilitating pain and normalizing respiration, are:

  • compresses based on;
  • dry heat;
  • sternum massage;
  • breathing exercises.

Urolithiasis disease


Since the left kidney is located on the side, then any inflammatory processes in it, including pyelonephritis and the ICD, able to cause sharp painIrradizing in the left hypochondrium. Urolithiasis caused by the increase and deposits of salts in conglomerates is characterized by painful and stripped urination, as well as shot and staggering pains that give to the peritoneum.
View of pain
With renal colic, the pain is sharp, sharp, stitching, squeezing.

In the rest of the kidney can whine.

Localization
The pain in the kidney can give both to the left hypochondrium and in the back.
Diagnostics
The diagnosis is made on the basis of the study of the urine analysis on the content of salts, as well as blood for the presence of the inflammatory process. Maybe the ultrasound of the kidneys.
Treatment
Reduce the content of salts in the urine will help diet, as well as drug therapy using and diuretics accelerating the removal of salts.

For crushing stones, which sealed the ducts, use laser and therapy or surgical excision.

In which case immediately to the doctor?

Cannot be keen with medical careIf the patient has such symptoms:

  1. A sharp increase in temperature.
  2. Summary of the skin of the abdomen.
  3. Vomiting with blood impurities.
  4. Diarrhea, more often 8-10 times a day.
  5. Signs of dehydration.
  6. Painful urination.

It is almost impossible to determine what it may be almost impossible.

Hands left side in different places near edges

In this case, the pain occurs on the left side and gives more to the front part, the patient feels supporting the discomfort.

In addition, pain on the left under the ribs can be given to the front of the stomach and duodenal ulcer. In case of ulcers, the pain is acute and migrates into the right hypochondrium.

With disorders nervous system The parietal majority pain under the left ribs is accompanied by such unpleasant symptoms as migraine and cramps.

Shingle is striking the nerve endings in the intercostal region, so it does not appear immediately. Initially, the nearest side pain in the left hypochondrium goes to ostyu, and only with time on the skin, herpetic rashes appear.

Pain from behind on the left under the ribs

The pain in the left hypochondrium, which gives back, arises for kidney diseases (in this case, the left kidney) and the vertebral osteochondrosis.

The kidneys can be sick in different ways:

  • Strong, unbearable pain - a sign of renal colic.
  • Permanent, but not strong "heavy" pain - when inflammation and an increase in the body.

Pain under the fins on the left below

Almost always pain under the left edges below (especially under the lower edge) has a good character and provoked by an increase in the spleen.

Splezenka is an organ that increasing, reacting to various diseases.

  1. Infectious diseases provoke an increase in the spleen - infectious mononucleosis, accompanied by a fever, an angina, an increase in lymph nodes.
  2. Hemoblastic diseases: lymphoma, leukemia, chronic lympholoicosis.
  3. Septic diseases: purulent abscesses, bacterial endocarditis
  4. Chronic diseases With a high degree of gravity: tuberculosis, red lupus, malaria.

Pain under the lower left edge, which is associated with the increase in the spleen - very dangerous symptomBecause in difficult cases, the inflamed body can be taken out even at the slightest movement.

A stupid pain at the bottom of the left edge speaks of an increase in the spleen - Splenomegaly.

Often, the pain of the left is repulse of people suffering from pancreatic diseases. It is in the left hypochondrium that the "tail" of the body is located, so the attack begins there. After pain acquires a hazing character. Related syndromes of pancreas diseases:

  • Increased temperature.
  • Vomiting.
  • Nausea.

Sharp pain left under ribs

Sharp pain in the left hypochondrium is characteristic of the stomach and duodenal ulcers. They can give to the lower back and back. Slow pain is so painful that the patient is forced to be in a squatting position, clasping or pressing the belly to a solid object. In addition, the yazuvengers suffer from:

  • "Hungry" pain.

A sharp pain may increase under the ribs on the left after exercise or nervous overvoltage.

Stick pain under the fins on the left

Stick pain in the left hypochondrium, which is enhanced with cough or inhale - a serious symptom of lung disease (left-sided pneumonia, inflammation of the left lung, tuberculosis, lung cancer) or the left side of the diaphragm.

Related symptoms for lung diseases are:

  • Increased temperature.
  • Fever (for pneumonia and subadiaphragm abscess).
  • Constipation.
  • Skiddy.
  • Pale blue color of the nasolabial triangle (for pneumonia).
