Pain near ribs

The ribs are a relatively important part of the human body. There are not only ribs around the ribs, but also muscles, organs and ribs. There are many factors that cause pain around the ribs in many people. So when facing pain around the ribs, do not take medicines or health products indiscriminately, and do not delay and think that taking a rest will be fine. You must see a doctor for examination and wait for a confirmed diagnosis and symptomatic treatment to recover your health better and faster.

There are ribs on both sides, with a total of 24 ribs, 12 on each side, and we will use ribs to represent them. The ribs are of different lengths and located in different positions, and the organs and surrounding nerves underneath them are also different. Therefore, rib pain should be divided into left and right, and left and right should also be divided into up, down, left, right, and which rib is involved.

Let's talk about the left ribs. If there is pain in the left ribs, regardless of what organs are underneath, let's talk about the ribs themselves and the surrounding nerves, blood vessels, muscles, etc. If there is pain in the left ribs, we must first rule out these causes of pain. Generally, the diseases caused by these systems are acute and easy to treat.

The skin is at the top of the ribs. If the skin hurts, although the location is on the ribs, it is only surface pain and does not penetrate deep into the ribs. This is generally caused by skin diseases or nerve pain, such as shingles, acne, etc.

After excluding the pain caused by the skin, the next pain is caused by the muscles. Generally, after the muscles are hit and injured, they will feel sore, a dull pain, rather than a stabbing pain. This pain can be easily relieved and avoided.

If muscle soreness is ruled out, it is the nerves that are the cause. The nerves generally run along the edge of the ribs and radiate. The pain is mainly manifested in the skin. This requires going to the hospital for relevant examinations to find out. Therefore, you still need to seek medical attention and don't act recklessly.

The ribs themselves can also cause pain, such as fractures and bone cracks. How do we know if it is the ribs themselves? First of all, we need to make sure whether they have been hit or beaten. If these factors do exist, we need to go to the hospital for testing and taking X-rays to see if there are fractures or bone cracks. Then we can confirm the diagnosis.

In addition to these reasons, there are many other reasons, such as heart disease, spleen rupture, pancreatic disease, etc., which may cause pain in the left ribs, so we must pay great attention to this and never be careless, as each of them is very critical to life.
