Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain is a medical term that describes a person’s pain between the chest and the groin. This area is often referred to as the belly region. There are different types of abdominal pain—generalized, localized, cramp-like, and colicky. Generalized pain is felt in more than half of the abdomen, and localized pain is felt in only one area in the belly. Both generalized and localized pain is long-lasting. On the other hand, colicky and cramp-like pains only come in episodes below the stomach region.
The abdominal pain associated with kidney pain is under localized pain. The pain is only felt around the kidney area of the abdomen. Experts explained that abdomen pain caused by kidney pain results from the growth and development of cysts in the kidney. As the cysts grow, the tissues may swell, damaging the nephrons and surrounding tissues. The inflammation caused by the growing cysts can cause extreme and intolerable pain to the patient.
Aside from these, since the location of the kidney is partially underneath the ribs on the back, the pain may spread and radiate in the flank area. Some patients may also experience discomfort and a burning sensation in their groins.
