Pain in the lower abdomen and nausea

Pain sensations in the lower abdomen are a common symptom of bowel, urinary tract and internal genital tract damage. But not always they are accompanied by a nausea, passing in the urge to vomit. More common are signs of disturbed digestion, such as bloating, diarrhea, general malaise.

If a woman or a man has a lower abdominal pain and vomits, care should be taken for possible reasons, because they will be followed by serious diseases with the possible transition to a chronic course.

Syndrome formation mechanism

Pain in the lower abdomen is caused by signals from the intestinal loops( thick and less often thin), the bladder, prostate in men, the uterus with appendages in women. It is established that hollow structures cause painful impulses when the muscle layer contracts or overstretches, involving deep cellular connections in the inflammation.

Because there are no pain receptors in the mucosa. Thus, there are pain in case of malfunction in the bladder, intestine. More dense organs( prostate, uterus, ovaries) have an external serous membrane with an abundance of nerve endings. They react sensitively to organ growth, puffiness. By the nature of pain are permanent, not related to food intake.

Sluggish inflammation is always accompanied by the formation of external adhesions with neighboring organs. Their stretching causes pains of a pulling character, amplifying at any movements.

The special mechanism develops at unpleasant sensations during pregnancy.

A woman feels that with the growth of the uterus constantly pulls down, there is a desire to urinate. This sign is more pronounced at the first pregnancy and at physically unprepared future mothers. Caused by stretching the ligament of the uterus, pressure on the bladder.

Nausea can be described as a feeling of vomiting, increased salivation. At the same time, sweating appears, breathing becomes more frequent, swallowing becomes worse.

It causes excitation of a special center in the medulla oblongata, a neuronal cluster is called a "reticular formation".Here signals from the receptor apparatus of the gastrointestinal tract, urinary and genital organs are received.

Nausea can cause smells, taste, disgust, increased intracranial pressure. An example of the influence of hormones is nausea in pregnancy. The vomiting center is designed to prepare a person for a cleansing action. He reacts even to the memory of unpleasant events, dishes. The spread of excitation to the vestibular apparatus, causes dizziness.

By the command "from above" in the body:

• decreases the tone of the muscles of the stomach and sphincter of the esophagus;
• almost completely stops intestinal peristalsis;
• significantly increased the tone of the duodenum.

Pulses from the organs of the gastrointestinal tract go to the center along sensitive fibers of the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves. To find out why the abdomen hurts below and nausea, it is necessary to understand the causes of the violation of signaling to the brain. We will get acquainted with the main diseases, their symptoms.

What hurts on the left lower abdomen and causes nausea?

The left iliac region is the projection area of ​​the sigmoid and rectum. This is the preferred localization of diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, colorectal cancer. Here, digestion ends, slag substances, toxins accumulate. When delayed excretion, atony or mechanical obstruction, they are absorbed into the blood and cause intoxication, including the medulla oblongata.

Symptoms of inflammation:

• constipation, followed by a loose stool;
• presence in the feces of mucus, blood, pus;
• aching pain, passing after eating and physical activity in intense;
• weakness;
• moderate temperature increase.

Women, except the intestine, have appendages at the left below. Adnexitis( inflammation of the ovaries) gives constant bursting pain. They become sharp in the case of rupture of the cyst, torsion of the legs, apoplexy, ectopic tubal pregnancy.

Irradiation is observed in the left side, back. These diseases contribute to hormonal disorders, are accompanied by nausea, women note that the head is spinning. An attack of pain can cause a collapoid state, blanching.

Diseases with right-sided localization

On the right in the ileum, women have similar unilateral inflammations of the genital organs, as in the left side. Here, in persons of both sexes there is a vermiform appendage, the fusion of the lean and blind gut. Accordingly, the localization of inflammation of the disease is called appendicitis and ileocolitis.

If all is heard enough about an attack of appendicitis, then an ileocolitis is less common, but the maximum affects the zone of the intestine in Crohn's disease. Attack of appendicitis begins with nausea, a single vomiting, epigastric pain, short-term diarrhea.

Gradually they pass to the right lower abdomen, grow. The pulsating character, chills, rise in temperature indicate the formation of abscess and phlegmonous gangrenous form.

With ileocolitis, the inflammation covers the entire depth of the intestinal wall and breaks into the peritoneum or adjacent organs. The pain is very intense. Possible the formation of local peritonitis, adhesions, fistulous moves. Intoxication causes nausea, fever.

If nausea worries about pain over the pubic?

Zone in the center above the pubis and deep in the urethra is affected by inflammation of the bladder( cystitis), in men with prostate adenoma and prostatitis, in women with uterine diseases. These organs have a pronounced innervation. Pathology causes constant painful pain in the lower abdomen and nausea, general malaise, insomnia.

A benign uterine tumor( fibromioma) gives copious bleeding. Therefore, in the long course without treatment, anemia develops in women, which further intensifies weakness and nausea. At the same time, fibromatous nodular formations are found in the mammary glands, it becomes necessary to exclude a malignant tumor of the mammary gland.

In girls and women, pain and nausea can accompany menstruation or the period of ovulation( in the middle of the cycle).They are caused by a spasmodic growth of hormones, a strong tone of the uterus, and often give the sacrum in the lower back.

Endometriosis is a serious disease related to precancerous. The proliferation of the epithelial layer in the uterus leads to the formation of "pockets", niches in the muscle with blood filling and suppuration. Pressure and puffiness creates conditions for re-irritation of nerve endings, pain and nausea.

Chronic symptoms can begin after abortion, use of intrauterine contraceptives. The development of lethargic adnexitis supports the disruption of the hormonal composition, affects the contractility of the uterus.

In men, stubborn permanent pain over the pubis with irradiation in the coccyx, scrotum and in the anus is observed with prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia. The enlargement of the organ disrupts the urethral patency, so urination is delayed. To the symptomatology are added:

• painful urge;
• resi;
• burning in the urethra;
• nausea.

Cancerous tumors of the uterus are accompanied by bleeding, anemia. When localized in the prostate gland or bladder, bright blood is seen in the toilet after each urination. Appears pallor of the skin, weakness, dizziness, refusal to eat, nausea.

Inflammation of the bladder more often develops in women. The infection comes from the anus along the wide urethral canal. The presence of a chronic process in neighboring organs( including vaginal damage during genital and venereal diseases) supports cystitis, accompanies a prolonged course.

Signs of exacerbation of the disease are:

• in severe incisors and urge to urinate;
• pain over the pubis and in the perineum;
• irritability;
• insomnia;
• loss of appetite;
• nausea;
• temperature increase.

When symptoms are considered physiological?

Physiological changes are always temporary, quickly appear and also disappear. An example is the condition of women during pregnancy or menstruation. Little has been learned of this process in irritable bowel syndrome. While the most acceptable opinion of scientists is that it is caused by dyskinesia of muscle contractions.

This is expressed in short-term cramping pain along the bowel, including in the lower abdomen, diarrhea, nausea. The condition is observed with nervous tension, stress in emotional young people. It passes by itself.

. One should not expect recovery without treatment in any pain syndrome. The zone below the navel is connected with the work of all the systems of the body, so it requires careful consideration of the cause of the lesion.

Can poisoning cause nausea and pain?

Usually poisoning with poor-quality products( food), industrial and household poisons, drugs is given to the clinic of gastroenteritis. The disease begins with nausea and repeated vomiting, pain in the stomach.

Then painful cramping sensations are added along the entire abdomen, rumbling, swelling and diarrhea. The temperature rises, the general condition suffers( weakness, malaise, aching muscles, loss of appetite).

Drug poisoning is not necessarily associated with potent drugs. Much more often with complaints of stool, pain in the lower abdomen and nausea, an overdose of vitamins is observed. People do not understand that vitamins also have acceptable values, above which the body reacts with the need to get rid of it.

It should be noted that for the appointment of vitamins should be appropriate indications. The ideal option is to find out the sufficiency in the blood in a laboratory way. Unfortunately, this is not available due to the complexity of the analysis.

Buying drugs in the pharmacy, you need to carefully examine the dosage and contraindications, read about side effects. This will help to avoid additional health problems.

With nervous overloads, unrest, after stress, it is better to try to do without medication.

The regime of the day, walks, outdoor recreation, exclusion from food of heavy meat food, coffee, alcohol, smoking cessation, contrast shower helps. The fact is that sedatives also affect digestion, cause nausea. It is better to take herbal remedies with a short course.

What is recommended to take?

For severe pain, nausea, vomiting, you should immediately call an ambulance. Only a specialist can decide and choose the most appropriate treatment option. You can not apply a heating pad, try to wash your stomach yourself.

The doctor needs to talk in detail about the relationship with food, alcohol intake, suspected pregnancy. From a truthful description of the state, diagnostics and help depend to a large extent. Do not refuse the proposed hospitalization. In a hospital there is more opportunity to check the tests, to conduct a survey and to find out the cause.

If there are signs of food poisoning at once at several members of a family and a status satisfactory it is possible to wash out a stomach a weak pink solution of potassium permanganate. It is necessary to try to drink more water, broth of dogrose, chamomile tea. The preparations of adsorbing action( activated carbon, Smecta, Enterosgel) are shown. They will help get rid of feces from toxins.

When cutting in the urethra, frequent urination, you can independently start phytotherapy with Kanefron, Urolesan, Monurel. They include extracts of plants that have a diuretic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory effect.

Women with menstrual pain are recommended to remove unpleasant sensations with rectal suppositories with bellies. With abundant menstruation, you can drink a decoction of nettle, a shepherd's bag. Any unclear state requires examination. It can not be postponed. The disease will still manifest itself, but in a more unfavorable form. Therefore, it is necessary to use the advice of specialists in a timely manner.
