Back Pain In The Lower Right Side

Summary: Having pains in the lower right side may be a cause for alarm. Read on for more info about lower back pains.

Attention! If you're having a back pain in the lower right side, go see your doctor. It could be a fatal appendicitis. This symptom starts as a vague and blunt pain in the lower right side of your back or abdomen. The pain gradually increases until it becomes an intense pain, accompanied by nausea, vomiting and a slight fever. For further evaluation, submit yourself to a CT scan and bowel/urine analyses. You might have contracted a urinary tract infection especially if the pain is accompanied with burning sensation while urinating and a yellow discharge with strong and smelly or bloody urine. See your doctor promptly. You can help yourself by drinking at least 8 to 10 glasses of clear liquids (water is strongly recommended) a day. Absolutely avoid caffeine, alcohol and strong beverages. And don't have intercourse until you're cured or risk passing it to your partner.

Hernia is also a candidate problem. In some cases of back pain in the lower right side, disc herniation is a liable culprit. The nucleus pulposus is part of the intervertebral disc that cushions the spinal columns. What happens is when the nucleus pulposus matter herniates through the fibrous band called the annulus fibrous which it is normally bound. A considerable amount of strain or pressure (or force) causes disc herniation, and this usually occurs on the lower back which could radiate to other areas like the right side. Hernia treatment requires a specialist or risk permanent disability. And it requires immediate medical attention in order to prevent complications such as organ dysfunction (especially true with other hernia cases), gangrene, or even paralysis and death. Repairing hernias involve surgical procedures but in most cases non life threatening.

One common denominator is also kidney stones. Kidney stones have the habit of radiating pain to the lower right quadrant of the back. On early stages the pain is somewhat vague, just a dull back pain in the lower right side or left that come and go. After some time, the pain will increase spreading to other areas on the groin. Always see a doctor, as this ailment requires professional help. You can help yourself by drinking enough water to make 2.5 liters. Avoid foods rich in protein, nitrogen and sodium.

Irritable bowel syndrome may also be causing you back pain on the lower right side. This vague and widespread cramp like pain is often accompanied by stomach bloating and tiredness, gas and occasional nausea. Irritable bowel syndrome goes along with diarrhea and constipation. This is no cause for alarm. Get plenty of rest but don't neglect the need for exercise. Walk around a bit, this helps in the processes of your stomach. Eat a high fiber diet and again, maximize your clear liquid intake, especially water. Reducing fatty foods on your diet also helps.

Having back pain in the lower right side might be a cause for alarm. But normally, there's nothing a good diet with plenty of water can prevent. Coupled with an effective exercise regimen, you can be sure of a healthy lifestyle.
