Where is my right lower quadrant?

Pregnancy- associated

गर्भावस्था में दाहिनी निचले हिस्से में दर्द के कारण हो सकता है:

  • गर्भपात: This usually causes cramping pain, like period pain, over both sides of the lower tummy and is often accompanied by bleeding, which can range from a small amount of dark blood to larger amounts of bright red blood with clots.

  • कब्ज: This is very common in pregnancy and gives you crampy lower tummy (lower abdominal) pains accompanied by opening your bowels less often and passing hard, pellet-like stools.

  • Pelvic ligament pain: This usually starts at around 14 weeks and is due to the growing womb pulling on the structures which hold it in place. It usually causes a stabbing pain down one or both sides of the tummy.

  • मूत्र संक्रमण: This is common in pregnancy. The usual symptoms are of pain when you pass urine and passing urine more often. You may also get tummy pain and a high temperature (fever) and notice blood in your pee.

  • अस्थानिक गर्भावस्था: You should always see a doctor urgently if you think you might be pregnant and are experiencing right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain. You could have an ectopic pregnancy.

  • In later pregnancy pelvic girdle pain, placental abruption and labour can all cause pain in the lower right quadrant. Your midwife will be able to advise you further.

Other possible causes of right lower quadrant pain

डॉक्टर को कब दिखाना चाहिए

If you have a pain which doesn't settle, you will probably need to see a health professional to help you figure out the cause.

See a doctor urgently if you:

  • बहुत तेज़ दर्द है।.

  • लगातार बीमार रहना (उल्टी होना)।.

  • हाल ही में बिना कोशिश किए वजन कम हुआ है।.

  • Have persistent diarrhoea.

  • Feel giddy, light-headed, faint, or breathless.

  • Are bringing up blood or have blood in your poo (faeces).

  • अपने सामान्य मल त्याग की आदत में बदलाव करें। इसका मतलब है कि आप सामान्य से अधिक या कम बार मल त्याग कर सकते हैं, जिससे दस्त या कब्ज की समस्या हो सकती है।.

  • Could be pregnant.

How is right lower quadrant pain diagnosed?

Your doctor will usually be able to diagnose the cause of your RLQ pain by talking to you and examining you.

They will feel your abdomen in the area you have the pain, but may also need to examine other parts too, such as the rest of your abdomen. You may also be asked to provide a sample of urine, to rule out kidney problems.

आपको रक्त परीक्षण की भी आवश्यकता हो सकती है:

  • अपने जिगर की कार्यक्षमता की जाँच करें और गुर्दे.

  • अपने शरीर में किसी भी सूजन या संक्रमण को बाहर निकालें।.

  • खोजें एनीमिया.

  • अपने रक्त शर्करा स्तर की जाँच करें।.

आगे के परीक्षण

यदि आपके डॉक्टर को दर्द के कारण के बारे में अभी भी संदेह है, तो वे निम्नलिखित जैसे और परीक्षणों की सिफारिश कर सकते हैं:

If it is thought you have appendicitis, an ectopic pregnancy (women) or a torsion of your testicle (testis) - men, you may only have one or two of these tests before having emergency surgery to treat your problem.

Most people will not need all of these tests, and some people may not need any.

Right lower quadrant pain treatment

The treatment for RLQ pain depends on the cause. Treatments for a few of the causes are briefly discussed below.

  • कब्ज can be treated with medicines, but often changes to your diet are needed to prevent it happening again.

  • आंत्रशोथ usually doesn't need any treatment, other than drinking plenty of fluid to compensate for all that is being lost. Occasionally when germs (bacteria) which can be treated with antibiotics are causing the infection, an antibiotic may help.

  • अपेंडिसाइटिस may be treated with an operation (an appendicectomy).

  • अस्थानिक गर्भावस्था is usually treated by an operation but medical treatment is now more common. This avoids the need for surgery and means the tube is less likely to be permanently damaged.

  • शिंगल्स. The pain and rash settle on their own in time, but some people may be advised to take an antiviral tablet to reduce the risk of long-term nerve pain from the shingles.

  • Kidney infections are treated with antibiotics. Mild infections can be treated with antibiotics at home. If you are very unwell you may need admission to hospital for antibiotics and fluids through a drip (intravenously).

  • गुर्दे की पथरी. Small kidney stones pass on their own eventually, in which case you will need to drink plenty of fluids and take strong painkillers. Larger kidney stones may need one of a number of procedures done to break them up or remove them altogether.

दृष्टिकोण क्या है?

The outlook depends entirely on the cause of the pain. Some conditions settle very quickly on their own (for example, gastroenteritis), or with the help of antibiotics (for example, a kidney infection).

Others can be cured with surgery, such as appendicitis or torsion of the testicle (testis). Some are long-term conditions, for which there is no cure although there are treatments, such those used for people who have Crohn's disease.

एक बार निदान स्पष्ट हो जाने पर आपका डॉक्टर आपको दृष्टिकोण (प्राग्नोसिस) का एक विचार देने में सक्षम होना चाहिए।.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

Is right lower quadrant pain always serious?

No. Many cases are caused by temporary digestive issues, muscle strain, or mild infections. However, because serious conditions can present in a similar way, it’s important not to ignore persistent or worsening pain.

Can kidney infection cause right lower quadrant pain?

Kidney infections usually cause pain in the back or side, but the pain can spread to the lower abdomen, including the right lower quadrant. However, pain only in the lower right abdomen is less common and usually comes with back or side pain too.
