Abdominal pain can be caused by a variety or ailments ranging from minor to very serious. Sometimes, finding or diagnosing the problem can be a very tricky proposition. Very often, the exact location and nature of the pain can be the best indicator of what is causing the pain. There are three common problems that cause abdominal pain that doctors sees most often.

– Appendix will usually present in the abdomen on the right lower side.
– Pain in the upper right side is most often Gallbladder

What Killed Harry Houdini

The most common abdominal emergency for males between the age of 15 and 25 is appendicitis. Complications and death can be avoided by a quick diagnosis and fast treatment. Symptoms include,

– Pain that starts as minor discomfort above the belly button and progresses to sharp pain in the lower right side of the stomach, or abdomen
– Nausea, loss of appetite or vomiting
– Lower, right abdomen is tender to the touch
– A low-grade fever
– Either constipation or less likely but possible, diarrhea

Gallbladder Stones

Your Gall Bladder is a place for your liver to store excess bile that will later help the small intestines to digest fatty foods. High cholesterol will often turn this bile into hardened stones. If one of these stones blocks the duct that the bile passes through, the result is severe pain, jaundices,( or yellowed skin, like we learn about in blood borne pathogens training on Hepatitis can cause) and inflammation of the stomach area. Stones that do not leak out or block the duct will cause no discomfort and you can live your entire life without ever knowing that they exist. Prevention includes avoiding high calorie foods and over eating. Fatty foods are what cause the attacks and are very bad for you in other ways as well.

Kidney Stones

Small calcium deposits can form in the kidneys and become chronic kidney stones that affects adults between 30 and 40 years of age. They can be microscopic to several centimeters in width and length. Symptoms include…
– A high severity of pain in the flank, which is usually from the pubic area to the last rib in your abdomen or anywhere in between
– Bloating, vomiting, extreme nausea with extreme pain
– While the stone passes through your body, you will experience sometimes excruciating pain in the urinary tract and into the genitalia
– Difficult, frequent urination
– Fever and chills

Advice You Will Definitely Follow

Unfortunately, kidney stones are not something that can be cured. You can increase the amount of fluids that you take into the body by up to five quarts a day. Couple this with dietary changes that promote urination and will reduce a chance of recurring stones passing. You must be extremely careful with any prescriptions the doctor gives you for kidney stones.

Please Dissolve

Most kidney stones will pass on their own without any help from your doctor. You will only need to increase fluids and a good, strong pain reliever. There are medications that can be prescribed to dissolve kidney stones and prevent new kidney stone formation. There are a very small percentage of kidney stones that do required additional medical treatments. Consult your doctor for more information.
