When a patient has pain in the lower back, a loin and diarrhea at the same time, these symptoms can indicate different diseases. This can be an intestinal infection, and an exacerbation of appendicitis. Some women who are in the last trimester of pregnancy have noticed in their right before birth a back pain and diarrhea. Determine yourself what pathology has arisen, it is difficult, that's why it is so important to give up self-treatment and immediately call a doctor.
When appendicitis, pain in the lower back is not localized, it is only there given, smoothly flowing from the abdomen from the right part of it. The diarrhea is infrequent, the loose stool is yellow and not fetid. Most often the patient is tormented by false, but painful tenesmus, defecation of relief does not bring. In order to make sure of the diagnosis, it is important to follow the path of pain. It starts not in the lower back, but around the navel, then moves to the right groin area and focuses there just above the pelvic bone, so it is given in the sacrum and appears in the lower back.
The abdomen becomes firm, it swells. The patient can not get up and stand up. The intensity of malaise diminishes only when the patient lies on her side and assumes the embryo pose.
Why does my back and diarrhea hurt?
It often hurts the lower back and there is severe diarrhea with some diseases of the small and large intestine. Provoke these symptoms may exacerbation of peptic ulcer, chronic enteritis or colitis. Why is this happening?
In case of peptic ulcer, discomfort first begins in the abdomen. They increase if the patient abuses acidic or spicy food, if he allows for long hungry pauses between meals. The ulcer is indicated by the pain that forms in the right side, which "walks" as it were, appearing in the lower epigastric region, then rising upwards, toward the epigastrium, then giving itself back or even to the sternum. Unlike appendicitis, the temperature of the body with ulcer does not increase, pressing on the patient site does not increase malaise, but, on the contrary, brings a slight relief. If the patient squeezes his legs in the knees, and pulls them to the stomach, the pain in the loin immediately passes. Another concomitant symptom of an ulcer is a severe permanent diarrhea. A liquid stool indicates the degree of development of the pathological condition. So, for example, if there is diarrhea of black color, there is a high probability of opening internal bleeding. Diarrhea with the remnants of undigested food suggests a possible fistula formation in the small intestine. Diarrhea can occur with an ulcer due to taking some medications.
In chronic enteritis and colitis, lower back pain, unlike diarrhea, is secondary.
There are a number of diseases of the pelvic organs, which are also capable of provoking the appearance of the described symptoms. If the body temperature rises against the background of malaise, it indicates a greater likelihood of developing inflammatory processes in the intestines, provoked by infection. Tumors of the pancreas, inflammation of non-infectious nature, intestinal obstruction - these diseases can cause back pain with diarrhea, but they are reflected in nature.
That is, there is no clear localization of the symptom, its manifestations do not increase, worry from time to time. In this case, the patient does not note the stiffness of the spine. If the cause of malaise are diseases of organs located in the small pelvis, the sperm hurts. The pain that occurs in the lower back indicates a pathology affecting the organs lying in the lower part of the abdominal cavity( this is the intestine).When there are diseases of the stomach or pancreas, pain occurs in the upper segments of the waist. What to do when the back and diarrhea hurts? Do not wait until it gets really bad, call an ambulance and ask for help from a gastroenterologist.
