Hip pain

Typically, pain in the thigh often occurs after a fairly long, stressed, physical exertion. But not an exception, that it can be a symptom of some disease. Usually, the emerging pain in the thigh, which is not associated with physical exertion, can have support in the form of mobility restraint, so it can be periodic, permanent or arising only in the mornings.

Very often, the traumatic pain in the thigh can be localized in the groin, between the abdomen and the thigh, and in case there is a pathology of the lumbar region, it can give to the femoral part. The patient himself can not sufficiently accurately explain the place where the pain is felt. If enough frequent, persistent and intense pain should seek help from a specialist: a surgeon or traumatologist.

Painful sensations can appear with age. In this case, aching pain in the hip may occur due to wear of the hip joint. With age, the articular cartilage has a tendency to wear out, and this leads to the disappearance of the depreciation of the joint, which was originally envisaged by nature. Amortization decreases, and the joint bones, hitting each other while moving, begin to cause pain. Disease, when the hip joint wears out , is called arthrosis, as a rule, it occurs in people who have reached the age of fifty. But if a person was often subjected to increased physical exertion or hypothermia, then the disease and pain in the thigh may appear much earlier.

There is another reason why pain in the hip may occur, this is an osteochondrosis of the sacrum and lumbar spine. With such a disease, pain can be given to the buttock or back of the thigh.

But bone disease is by no means the only reason that pain can occur in the hip area. Often, pain in the hip can be the result of damage to the ligaments or muscles that are located in the immediate vicinity of the joint. This mainly occurs as a result of injuries or bruises.

Pain in this area can also be a symptom of a more dangerous disease. For example, it can become a signal that there was some kind of neoplasm or pathology of the cardiovascular system. The greatest danger in the presence of these diseases is that when they are diagnosed, very serious mistakes are rarely made. So, for example, pain, which is justified by occlusion or stenosis of the ileum aorta, is often taken just as a symptom that is characteristic of hip joint damage. This often entails some problems.

In addition to all of the above, pain can be caused by some infectious diseases. If the sensations of pain are strong enough, accompanied by lameness, as well as a temperature increase in parallel, then you should immediately consult an infectious disease doctor.

So, we can say that the reasons for which a pain in the hip can occur is quite a lot. When setting the right diagnosis, the expert pays attention to the localization of pain, the nature of pain, its strength, and also the mobility of the joint. The doctor, as a rule, asks many questions as to which movements intensify pain and which ones weaken. The pain can be transmitted to fairly large areas of the hip, and if you do not determine where it is most powerful, then it will be impossible to establish the correct diagnosis.

In addition to directly determining the localization, the cause of pain can be recognized by its nature. If it is constant, strong and lasting even at night, it can mean that a person has a neurological disorder, an inflammatory disease, or a neoplasm of some kind.
