5 Body Pains You Should NEVER Ignore

One disturbing fact is that a lot of humans die
young. Recent research shows that men are twice
as likely to die than women between the ages of 20
and 40.
The reason adduced to this is that men tend to
ignore a lot of stress and pains that women pay
attention to. Signs and symptoms including chest
pains, dizziness, headaches and so on are some of
the common symptoms men would rather see off
than visit a doctor for.
As a result, we decided to put together 5 common
body pains everyone irrespective of gender should
pay attention to because they are none negotiable.
If you feel any of this pains (especially repeatedly),
see a doctor as soon as possible.
Sudden Pain In The Groin
Sharp pains in the groin feels like you’ve been
kicked or punched around your pelvic region and it
may also experience swelling.
This kind of pain is called testicular torsion. It may
occur as a result of congenital defects in which the
spermatic chords that hold the testicles in place
become intertwined.
Blood flow to the testicles are cut off and if urgent
attention is not given between 24 to 30 hours, the
testicles may be lost. This is treated with surgery.
Pain in the groin may also be caused by untreated
bacteria infection of the epididymis which stores
spermatozoa. This can be treated with antibiotics.
Painful Urination
Having a rusty blood coloured urine or feeling
severe pain during urination can serve as an
indication of bladder cancer which is the third
most common type of cancer in men.
Research has found smoking to be a big risk factor.
Bladder cancer is usually diagnosed by eliminating
similar conditions. Tests like urinalysis, followed by
a cystoscopy where a scope is inserted to view the
inside of the bladder. If there’s a tumour present, it
can be removed through surgery, chemotherapy or
radiation.
Sharp Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pains that come with a sharp, biting
feeling is a cause for concern because your
abdominal area contains a lot of organs and the
pain could be as a result of an inflamed pancreas,
appendix or gallbladder.
The cause for these three conditions are usually a
blocked organ which results in infection of the
organs around the area. The best bet is to run
laboratory tests. If you have a high white blood
cells count, you may be suffering from
appendicitis. If the pain is in your upper abdomen,
then it’s probably an inflamed gallbladder.
More so, if you feel the pain beneath your
breastbone, and laboratory blood tests show
elevated liver enzymes, then you may be suffering
from pancreatitis. See a doctor to prescribe the
appropriate laboratory tests.
Throbbing Chest Pain
If you have a heavy ache which comes and leaves
suddenly could be as a result of simple indigestion
or a more serious impending heart attack.
Blood clots could have formed in narrow sections
of your coronary artery and this stops the flow of
blood to a part of your heart. It is important to see
a doctor as soon as possible as over half of all
deaths resulting from heart attacks occur within
the first 5 hours of the first symptoms.
The doctor requests tests relating to Biomarkers of
damaged tissues in the heart. It is mostly treated
with a coronary heart bypa$$ graft or angioplasty
(a procedure used to widen obstructed veins or
arteries).
Serious Pain In The Lower Back
Sufferers of this pain have described it as an
agonising pain which doesn’t get relieved even
after they use painkillers or rest their bodies. Such
pain is not related to exercise and may be a sign of
a brain or abdominal aneurysm.
Of particular note is the abdominal aneurysm
which signifies a weakening of the aorta lying
above the kidneys. If it gets burst, a person may die
within 30 minutes. A less severe possibility is
kidney stones that also comes with its own
excruciating pain in sufferers.
The abdominal aneurysm can be treated with
blood-pressure pressure medications to control
blood flow.
