  1. KIDNEY PAIN VS BACK PAIN: HOW TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE? - HIRANANDANI HOSPITAL KIDNEY

  2. INTRODUCTION When talking about body discomfort, it's crucial to differentiate kidney pain from back pain for accurate identification and treatment. This article explains the differences between these two types of pain, helping people understand where they come from and when to seek medical help. Kidney pain, often caused by kidney issues like stones or infections, feels intense in the flank area below the ribcage.

  3. On the other hand, back pain, coming from things like muscle strains or lousy posture, focuses on the lower back. Recognising the differences in where it hurts, how it feels, and accompanying symptoms is essential for making informed healthcare decisions. If you're dealing with persistent or severe pain, consulting a healthcare professional is a must for a timely and accurate diagnosis. Remember, this article is a guide, not a replacement for professional advice. Always consult with an expert for personalised guidance.

  4. WHAT IS KIDNEY PAIN? Kidney pain, a troubling feeling in your back, usually happens because there's a problem with your kidneys. Things like kidney stones or infections are common reasons. When kidneys have issues, they show it by causing pain, usually in the side under your ribs. This discomfort can be sharp and strong, going down to your belly or lower stomach. Knowing it's kidney pain is important to get help in time. If you keep feeling kidney pain or have other worrying signs, it's crucial to see a doctor at a good place like Hiranandani Hospital in Powai. Getting help early makes sure you get the right care and deals with possible health problems.

  5. WHAT IS BACK PAIN? Back pain, a usual ache, usually comes from strained muscles or sitting badly. It's mainly in the lower back and might go down to your butt and thighs. Unlike kidney pain, back pain doesn't usually cause issues with peeing. Knowing what back pain feels like is essential to handle it well. If it keeps on or gets terrible, talking to experts at a trusted healthcare place, like Hiranandani Hospital in Powai, becomes essential, especially with health worries like COVID-19. Going to the doctor on time ensures you find out what's happening and get the proper care for your health overall.

  6. KEY DIFFERENCE 1. Location: To tell if it's kidney pain or back pain, you need to know where it hurts. Kidney pain usually appears on the side under your ribs, telling you something might be wrong with your kidneys. But back pain is mainly in the lower back, sometimes going down to your butt and thighs. Knowing where it hurts is essential to understand what's happening with your body.

  7. 2. NATURE OF PAIN Understanding the kind of pain is essential to tell if it's kidney pain or back pain. Kidney pain is often sharp and crampy, showing there might be issues with the kidneys. This discomfort might spread from the side to the belly or lower stomach. On the other hand, back pain feels more like an ache or throb, mainly in the lower back.

  8. 3. ACCOMPANYING SYMPTOMS Figuring out the difference between kidney and back pain means looking at other symptoms. Kidney pain often comes with urinary signs, like needing to pee a lot or seeing blood in your urine. This shows there might be issues with your kidneys. On the other hand, back pain usually doesn't have these urinary signs.
