What is the solar plexus? This is a set of nerve elements that are located outside the nervous system and form almost the largest node in the human body. It includes the celiac nodes and the mesenteric, from which, like the rays of the sun, nerves diverge. With their help, the organs and systems of the body are connected with the central nervous system. And this is a very important factor. Therefore, if there are pains in the solar plexus, this can indicate serious health problems.
In principle, it is not the nerve node that hurts . The fact is that pain in the solar plexus is reflected and often indicates malfunctions in other systems and organs. In fact, such a problem almost always suggests that human health is in some danger. However, in some cases, this is because the body has received severe poisoning, and it will be difficult to do without the help of a gastroenterologist. Therefore, a visit to a specialist should not be postponed. In some cases, such pain can be caused by excessive physical exertion and usually disappear after a few days, and the situation normalizes.
I must say that very often irritations in the solar plexus can occur in those people who move a little, prefer a sedentary lifestyle. Although, in some cases, an overly active lifestyle can lead to such problems - an immense passion for physical exertion. Very often, when such pain appears, a person tries to take a pose in which he is easier. That is, it begins to pull legs to the stomach or simply bend in the lower back. Be that as it may, but all these symptoms can not be ignored, it is recommended not to postpone the visit to the doctors.
If it hurts in the area of the solar plexus not for these “household” reasons, then inflammatory processes in the genitals (in women), the omission of some organs, the formation of postoperative adhesions, heart failure and intercostal neuralgia could lead to irritation.
As a rule, in almost all of the above cases, the pain is burning in nature, and its duration can be 2-7 hours. Sometimes the pain can be in the form of seizures. Its focus, as a rule, is located slightly above the navel. Although, in some cases, the pain radiates to the stomach or back. Very often, there may be a violation of the sensitivity of certain organs or skin in certain places. Sometimes chest injuries also lead to similar symptoms , and this can already serve as the beginning of a traumatic neuralgia. In such cases, during an attack, a person begins to catch his breath, dull pain occurs in the heart.
Be that as it may, but if there are pressing pains in the solar plexus, either a person experiences severe bloating and a feeling of heaviness, or he begins to feel that the body is burning from the inside, this also indicates that the body needs help .
If the pains in the solar plexus are treated independently, without going to the doctor, this can lead to the occurrence of solaritis, that is, a disease of the solar unit. In this case, the pain is sharp and boring, although it is not continuous and often has the character of an attack.
Solarium is dangerous in that if it goes into a neglected form, it can lead to damage to the nervous system. Patients with this diagnosis are prescribed therapeutic massages, balneotherapy and physiotherapy.
If there is pain in the area of the solar plexus, it is recommended that a light massage of the appropriate areas in the back area is recommended. However, it should be done only if there is no acute pain or a feeling of numbness. In addition, sessions are carried out only with reduced muscle tone, their duration should not exceed 20 minutes.
