And in it in back pain or pain on one or both sides which is accompanied by pain when urinating, may indicate a kidney infection.
What is pain in the flank?
Pain in the side or flank refers to pain or discomfort in the side of the abdomen, just above the hip. Flank pain actually refers to pain in your side and back. Usually, the pain is worse on one side of the body. Most people experience at least once in their lives flank pain, and it is usually short-lived. Constantly present and / or severe pain can be caused by a serious underlying medical condition, such as an infection in the urinary tract or kidneys or dehydration (dehydration). In acute pain that arises without obvious cause can be thought of a kidney stone, the so-called colic. Kidney stones may also present themselves by chronic sided flank pain, sometimes referred to as back pain. Chronic pain can also point to several other causes.
Pain in the side, but no underlying condition
nephritic pain
If people think they suffer from kidney pain, it often indicates pain in the kidney area or pain in either flanks, indicating pain in the back or the area between the lower ribs and the buttocks. Here we discuss several causes of kidney pain.
What are the possible causes of flank pain or pain in the side?
Various conditions ranging from serious to relatively harmless, can cause pain in the flank. Some common causes (the main symptoms) are:
causes
main complaintsUrinary tract infection
A kidney infection (pyelonephritis) indicates fever, flank pain, malaise.
renal colic
Often begins a jammed stone with a faint, inconspicuous pain in the lower back (flanks). Gradually, the pain becomes brighter, and comes in increasingly intense attacks (renal colic), usually on the side of the abdomen. The pain often travels through the groin, thigh or genitalia.
kidney Infarction
Sharp, intense pain in the lumbar region.
ureteral stenosis
Pain in the side, left and / or right.
kidney Cyst
Dull pain in the loin, which is whether or not associated with hematuria (blood in the urine).
kidney Tumor
Blood in the urine, pain in the kidney area (you can feel in it) and palpable swelling in the abdomen.
Ectopic pregnancy (also called ectopic pregnancy, abbreviated EUG)
The subacute form displays symptoms such as one-sided abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, pain in the shoulder region, fainting and nausea.
Disorders of ovary or ovarian
These disorders may go under another associated with pain in the side.
biliary colic
Paroxysmal pain right upper abdominal pain, sometimes radiating to the back or right shoulder blade, with urge to move.
Mechanical bowel obstruction or obstructive ileus
Worsening episodic, crampy abdominal pain (colic).
pancreatitis
Usually begins with a sudden severe pain in the upper abdomen: right or left, but rarely left.
acute appendicitis
A novice appendicitis are typically characterized by a dull ache in the middle of the abdomen and often at the level of the navel. The pain will gradually shift to the right lower abdomen in the next 24 hours.
Constipation
Mild, moderate, or heavy, or may not be long-lasting abdominal pain in the lower abdomen, or abdominal pain that radiates to one side of the abdomen (more localized in the side).
diverticulitis
When a diverticulum gets infected, you get abdominal pain, usually in the lower left abdomen.
lumbago
Lumbago refers to intractable to describe pain and stiffness in the lumbar or lower back pain. The back pain than are located between the lower ribs and the buttocks. The pain may prevent the left or right, or even on both sides of the spine.
Arthritis (in particular, arthritis that affects the spinal column)
Low back pain, sometimes towards the side.
Infection in the spine
Backache.
vertebral Fracture
Sudden pain or could indicate a chronic dull pain in your back on a spinal fracture.
Pinched nerve in the back
You feel pain everywhere go through the nerve, for example, in your buttock, leg, calf or foot, and this pain is often worse than the pain in your back.
muscle spasms
Spasm of the back muscles can cause provoking pain in the lower back and the flanks.

Pneumonia
Pain when breathing, are stuffy, coughing up yellow or green mucus, sometimes with some blood, fatigue, a higher or even a lower body temperature, muscle aches and pain in the lungs, shivering and chattering teeth, loss of appetite and in severe cases confusion. Pain it sometimes occurs.
Inflammatory diseases of the bowel, such as Crohn's disease
Inflammatory diseases of the intestine may lead to, inter alia, abdominal pain, and pain in the side.
Floating-Rib syndrome
Include flank pain, often one-sided.
These conditions will be discussed in brief below.
Pain in side by UTI
A urinary tract infection indicates an infection or inflammation of the mucous membrane on the inside of the urinary tract (renal pelvis, ureters, bladder and urethra). Usually, a urinary tract infection is limited to the lining of the bladder. This is coupled with known bladder problems, pain that radiates to the lower back. The infection-causing bacteria (often derived from the intestinal flora) intrude the bladder through the urethra inside. Women are more prone to urinary tract infections, since the distance between the urethra and rear in women is much shorter than in men. If a urinary tract infection ascends from the lower to the upper urinary tract (eg an undetected or inadequately treated cystitis), a kidney infection can develop.
renal colic
A renal colic or -aanval out in paroxysmal, cramping pain in the side, which radiates to the groin. This severe pain attacks are often accompanied by nausea (and vomiting) and need to move. You can not sit still through the severe pain or lying. Blood in the urine, frequent and painful urination belong there too. At the moment, it belongs to the possibilities to crush kidney stones, in which a surgical procedure is no longer needed.
kidney Infarction
A kidney infarction occurs when a clot is formed in one of the larger arteries of the kidney, causing a part of the kidney no blood, and therefore, no oxygen will get more. The part of the kidney which is deprived of oxygen will get may die as a result. Such a clot can be formed by, for example, severe arteriosclerosis (atherosclerosis). Although atherosclerosis rarely, renal infarction is rare. By means of computer tomography scanning, the diagnosis of renal infarction are made.
ureteral stenosis
A ureteral stenosis refers to a narrowing (stenosis) of the ureter (ureter). As a result, creates an accumulation of urine in the renal pelvis. This can damage the kidney. The kidney may even completely lose its function.
Pain in side by kidney cyst
A kidney cyst is a vesicle filled with fluid and a renal cyst it resides in the kidney. Sometimes, there may occur several of these cysts in the kidney. When there are very many of these cysts on both kidneys, it is called polycystic kidney disease. Here several causes may underlie. Kidney cyst can give all kinds of complaints. These complaints can often consist of pain and an uncomfortable feeling at the level of the lower back or they. Kidneys with cysts are often larger than normal, healthy kidneys.
kidney Tumor
In the Netherlands annually diagnosed with kidney cancer about 2,000 times. Renal cell carcinoma which arises in the renal tubules, is the most frequent tumor of the kidney in adults. This type of cancer is usually gives no complaints at the beginning and that is why it is so difficult to diagnose the disease at an early stage. Later, you can see blood in the urine or you suffer from persistent pain in the back or sides.
Ectopic Pregnancy
In an ectopic pregnancy (also called ectopic pregnancy, abbreviated EUG,), the fertilized egg is outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. Approximately one percent of all pregnancies ends in an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy often does not result in a full-term pregnancy. Blood loss is in many cases, the first clear phenomenon of an ectopic pregnancy. This is often accompanied by pain (cramping of the fallopian tube). This pain usually manifests itself on one side of the abdomen or in the lower abdomen.
Disorders of ovary or ovarian
Disorders of the ovaries concern especially inflammations and tumors. These conditions may include involvement accompanied by pain in the side.
biliary colic
In the gall bladder bile concentrated can go crystallize causing small crystals are formed which can form gallstones. If such a stone is driven out of the gall bladder, the terminal may get stuck in front of the gall bladder or output in the bile duct, with the result that there is a biliary colic. The bile duct is trying with all his might to drive the galsteentje by contraction to the intestine. This causes episodic pain right upper abdominal pain, sometimes radiating to the back or right shoulder blade. Nausea and vomiting are also common. Furthermore, there is urge to move; you can not sit still or lie down during an attack; you must move the pain.
Mechanical bowel obstruction or obstructive ileus
One speaks of "ileus" as the passage of food stopped in the intestine. In mechanical obstruction or obstructive ileus is intestinal clogged due to mechanical obstruction or obstacle that blocks the passage. Possible causes are:
a twisting of the intestine known as volvulus or volvulus;
the clincher chairing the intestine by scar tissue (called adhesions);
a tumor or tumor which blocks the passage.
pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. Acute pancreatitis usually begins with a sudden severe pain in the upper abdomen: right or left, rarely left. This pain may radiate to the back, left side and left shoulder and worsens when you move.

A diverticulum refers to a benign bulge in the large intestine. When it becomes inflamed, it is called diverticulitis. A common complaint is abdominal pain, usually in the lower left abdomen. How diverticulitis arises, is not clear. The inflammation is usually self-limiting; with pain you can use paracetamol.
lumbago
Lumbago refers to sudden (acute) low back pain, which is often accompanied by cramping of muscles and irritation of the lower spine. Several things can cause lumbago, where overloading is one of them. Inadequately treated spit can cause lumbago.
Arthritis
Arthritis, in particular arthritis that affects the spinal column, can be a source of significant low back pain.
Infection in the spine
An inflammation of the spine usually gives pain localized in the lower back.
vertebral Fracture
As a result of a fall from a height, a traffic accident, or a fracture may be caused by other causes, in one or
multiple vertebrae.
Pinched nerve in the back
By osteoarthritis of the lumbar spine (ie the lower vertebrae of the spine) may uncontrolled formation and bulges occur in the vertebrae. These growths constrict the space between the vertebrae, bringing it closer to come to lie against each other. This makes getting pinched nerve roots.
muscle spasms
Spasm of the back muscles exasperating sometimes cause pain in the lower back and the flanks.
shingles
Shingles (herpes zoster) is an infection of a nerve as a result of a virus and does the VIRIS that causes chickenpox in children. The virus dive after chickenpox the bottom of the body and then is latent in the ganglia. In later life the virus can become active again and resurface. Usually this is done in the nerve center of one of the hull or abdomen nerves. That explains the name "shingles." Shingles usually begins with pain and sometimes with itching in one spot on the body, often in the side or on the back.
Dehydration or dehydration
Dehydration can occur after the loss of lots of fluids and salts, eg due to high fever, vomiting, severe diarrhea, (considerably) blood loss, heavy sweating, use of certain drugs or excessive heat.

With flank pain may also be considered floating ribs. The pain at the floating Rib syndrome, also rib-tip syndrome or costo-iliac syndrome called, is described as aching, more or less constantly present, sometimes increasing in severity. Often you see a clear correlation with movement or posture. The floating rib syndrome can be caused by a leaning or sitting posture. Certain sports that run sideways like can cause the symptoms fitness and stretching exercises. Old age may also play a role. In older people, you see that the discs are thinner, thus collapsing the spine. The end of the lower rib can hereby tap to bulge against the pelvis. This causes annoying pain.
