PAIN ON PRESSURE

Pain on pressure is an unpleasant sensation that arises in response to mechanical impact on a specific area of the body. This symptom may indicate inflammation, injury, or another pathological process in the body.

CAUSES OF PAIN ON PRESSURE

• Inflammatory processes. For example, abscesses, boils, or joint inflammation can cause pain when pressed.
• Injuries. Bruises, sprains, fractures, or soft tissue damage are often accompanied by pain on touch.
• Infections. Infections affecting the skin or internal organs may manifest as pain on pressure.
• Tumor formations. Certain types of tumors may cause pain when mechanical pressure is applied.
• Neuralgia. Damage or irritation of nerves can lead to localized pain on pressure.

SYMPTOMS ACCOMPANYING PAIN ON PRESSURE

• Redness or swelling in the painful area.
• Localized skin temperature increase.
• Sensation of burning or itching.
• Restriction of movement (if a joint is affected).
• Appearance of lumps or changes on the skin.

HOW TO TREAT AND PREVENT PAIN ON PRESSURE

1. Determine the cause of pain. Consult a doctor for diagnosis and identification of the root cause of the symptom.
2. Apply cold or warm compresses. Depending on the cause of pain, compresses may reduce inflammation and relieve the condition.
3. Medication. Use of painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by a doctor.
4. Physiotherapy. Treatments such as ultrasound or electrophoresis can help with injuries and inflammations.
5. Timely treatment of infections. If an infection is present, antibiotics or other antimicrobial medications may be required.
6. Surgical intervention. In cases of abscesses or other severe conditions, surgery may be necessary.
