A person begins to worry about his health at those moments when the body gives signals of danger. Severe pain in the back and abdomen can cause great anxiety, as the true cause of the discomfort is not clear.

Girdle pain in the abdomen and back can be provoked by various factors and indicate the presence of pathologies of the internal organs or the spine.

Quite often the reason lies in diseases of the stomach. Pain with an ulcer, gastritis or pancreatitis can be reflected in the back area. But, there are also reverse situations, when abdominal pain is provoked by ailments of the spinal column. Let us consider in more detail all the causes that cause pain in the abdomen and back at the same time.

Causes that cause pain in the abdomen and back at the same time.

Ulcer

Exacerbation of peptic ulcer is often accompanied by acute pain in the abdomen and back. There are characteristic signs of an ulcer, which include:

  • The stomach begins to hurt sharply, often immediately after a meal or in the morning on an empty stomach;
  • There are signs of nausea, after vomiting, a sour taste remains in the mouth and a sharp improvement in the condition occurs (the most accurate symptom of an ulcer);
  • Heartburn is added to nausea, pain in the abdomen and back;
  • Lolnoy is relieved by taking the fetal position, physical activity worsens the condition;
  • Pain may radiate to the chest and lower abdomen.

Pain in the abdomen on the left, radiating to the back and chest - a reason not to postpone a visit to your doctor, with 95% confidence we can talk about an exacerbation of the ulcer. The specialist will be able to prescribe therapy aimed at eliminating the inflammatory process and relieving pain.

The main cause of the disease is the acid-fast bacterium Helicobacter (Helicobacter pylori infection). This bacterium is capable of destroying the mucous membrane of the ventricle, as well as the duodenum.

After overcoming the system form of the disease, the patient is shown a special diet and drug treatment. Modern drugs, the action of which is aimed at healing ulcers, are very effective. But, only the right lifestyle and regular examinations by a doctor will help prevent a recurrence of the disease.

perforated ulcer

Severe abdominal pain radiating to the back may indicate a perforated stomach or duodenal ulcer. At the same time, the pain is so strong that a person can hardly cope with it. Even an attempt to take a full breath leads to a deterioration in the condition.

Localization of painful sensations - the navel and right side, eventually spreads to the entire abdomen. In some cases, there may be pain in the right shoulder and collarbone.

Another characteristic symptom of a perforated ulcer is a sharp tone of the muscles of the abdominal cavity, the stomach becomes hard, “board-like”. At rest, the tone does not decrease significantly.

How to distinguish an exacerbation of a peptic ulcer from a perforated ulcer:

  • In the first case, the pain attack begins with a meal, in the second, after a meal, some relief occurs;
  • After "sour" vomiting with an ulcer, complete relief occurs, and with a perforated ulcer, the improvement is insignificant.
