Pain in the left side is observed with constipation, IBS, inflammatory (sigmoiditis, UC, diverticulitis) and neoplastic diseases of the intestine. Pain in the left flank and iliac region is characteristic of intestinal infections, chronic pancreatitis, hernias. Women are worried about pain in pathologies of the genital organs. To diagnose the causes of pain, laboratory, radiological, endoscopic and ultrasound methods are prescribed. Therapeutic measures include diet selection, probiotics and enzymes, laxatives, NSAIDs and antispasmodics. In complicated forms of gastroenterological diseases, surgical intervention is performed.
Pain in the forearm is a specific sensation caused by damage to the bones, soft tissues or nerve structures of the forearm. It can be acute, dull, local, widespread, periodic, constant, pulling, pressing, burning, shooting, aching. Sometimes it has a radiating character, provoked by injuries, limb overloads and other circumstances. The cause of pain is established by means of a survey, examination, data from imaging techniques (X-ray, CT, MRI), electrophysiological methods. Until the diagnosis is clarified, the hand is provided with rest. Sometimes we can take analgesics.
Pain in the lower abdomen in women is most often found during menstruation, the physiological or pathological course of pregnancy, adnexitis. Also, pain syndrome develops with endometriosis and neoplasms of the genital organs, diseases of the urinary and digestive systems. To detect the cause of pain, a gynecological examination, ultrasound, endoscopic and radiological diagnostic methods are prescribed. For therapeutic purposes, analgesics, antispasmodics, antibiotics, hormones, sedatives are used. Some conditions require surgery.
Burning in the chest develops with gastroenterological (GERD, achalasia of the cardia), cardiological (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction), pulmonary diseases (bronchitis, pleurisy, pulmonary bleeding). The symptom occurs with intercostal neuralgia, and also as a component of a panic attack. To determine the cause of burning in the chest, tests are prescribed (hemogram, blood biochemistry, myocardial markers), instrumental methods - ECG and EchoCG, X-ray and CT of the chest, endoscopic visualization of the esophagus. Relief of burning pains includes antacids, antisecretory drugs, nitrovasodilators, antianginal drugs.
Burning in the anus is a symptom of most proctological diseases: acute and chronic proctitis, anal fissure, hemorrhoids. The causes of discomfort are often rectal neoplasia, coccygodynia, perianal dermatitis. To diagnose the etiology of unpleasant manifestations, instrumental methods are prescribed (ultrasound, sigmoidoscopy, anal manometry and EMG), laboratory tests (coprogram, examination for helminth eggs, biopsy histology). In order to relieve burning sensation in the anus, microclysters and rectal suppositories, systemic drugs, and physiotherapy techniques are used.
Grayish-white stool is a discoloration of stools, often accompanied by a violation of the consistency and frequency of the stool. A change in the color of feces is characteristic of dysbacteriosis, diseases of the liver and gallbladder, and damage to the pancreas. To determine the cause of the appearance of gray or white feces, a coprogram, ultrasound and radiography of the gastrointestinal tract, endoscopy are prescribed. To eliminate the symptom, probiotics, enzyme preparations, specific antiviral and detoxifying agents are used.
Clonic convulsions are irregular short-term spasms, which are characterized by a rapid change in periods of contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscles. Occur against the background of epilepsy, cerebral damage of an infectious, neurodegenerative, toxic or other nature. The cause of convulsive paroxysms is confirmed by laboratory tests, genetic tests, neuroimaging methods, EEG. The basis of therapeutic correction is the use of anticonvulsants, resistant variants require a solution to the issue of neurosurgical care.
Girdle pain in the abdomen most often occurs in acute pancreatitis and other pathologies of the pancreas (abscess, pancreatic necrosis, malignant tumor). The symptom is also observed in the pancreatic variant of duodenitis, diaphragmatic hernia, intercostal neuralgia. For diagnostic purposes, clinical and biochemical analyzes are carried out, instrumental studies - ultrasound, radiography and CT, ERCP and EFGDS. Rarely, diagnostic laparoscopy is used. Therapy of girdle abdominal pain involves the appointment of analgesics, antibiotics, infusion agents. Rarely, surgery is performed.
The sensation of a foreign body in the throat is observed in acute infections, otolaryngological, gastroenterological, oncological diseases, allergies, thyroid lesions, vertebrogenic pathologies, traumatic injuries, mental disorders. May be accompanied by perspiration, burning, tingling, scratching. The cause of the symptom is established according to the history, general examination, pharyngoscopy, laryngoscopy, ultrasound, MRI, laboratory tests. Apply painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics.
Tingling in the legs occurs when tired, wearing uncomfortable shoes. In pathological cases, tingling is determined with restless legs syndrome, polyneuropathy, obliterating lesions of the arteries and veins of the lower extremities. For diagnostic purposes, clinical and biochemical blood tests, instrumental imaging methods are prescribed: vascular ultrasound with dopplerography, CT angiography, radiography and MRI of the spine. Treatment of diseases accompanied by tingling in the legs includes medications (antiplatelet agents, antispasmodics, sedatives and anticonvulsants), physiotherapy methods. With vascular lesions, operations are performed to restore blood flow.
Weakness in the legs is a decrease in muscle strength or a subjective feeling of fatigue in the lower extremities. The symptom occurs when the central or peripheral parts of the nervous system, myoneural synapses, and skeletal muscles are affected. It is possible to establish the cause of the violations according to the results of a medical examination, laboratory and instrumental research methods. Treatment of weakness in the legs involves drug therapy, comprehensive rehabilitation.
Triparesis is detected in craniocerebral and spinal cord injuries, neoplasia, spinal cord abscesses, poliomyelitis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and some polyneuropathies. The cause of the violation is established on the basis of complaints, neurological examination data, imaging techniques, and laboratory tests. The tactics of treatment is determined taking into account the nature of the pathology. Neuroprotectors, antibiotics, antiplatelet agents, hormonal agents, and other drugs are prescribed. Operations are performed according to indications.
Heaviness in the legs mainly occurs with diseases of the veins: varicose veins, post-thrombophlebitic syndrome, chronic venous insufficiency. The symptom also develops with lymphedema, longitudinal and transverse flat feet, edema against the background of cardiac or renal dysfunction. Diagnostic search involves instrumental methods: ultrasound of the veins, rheovasography, lymphangiography, lymphoscintigraphy, x-ray studies (X-ray of the foot, CT of the spine). To relieve heaviness in the legs, drugs from the group of phlebotonics and antiplatelet agents, injection vein sclerotherapy, and elastic compression are prescribed.
