Quadrant is a small square about the same as the palm of a person. The pain is located, such as under the ribs. Here are some of the organs – spleen, ureter, kidney, small intestine, stomach and diaphragm. Pathology associated with any of these bodies is easily visible under the ribs on the left and also here you will find the echo of problem part of the thoracic and lumbar spine.
- Dysfunction of the diaphragm. The membrane performs the function of separating the peritoneum of the cavity of the chest. When you receive food into the stomach, it does not allow food back into the esophagus. But when a hernia of the diaphragm, it is deteriorating and food particles are released into the esophagus. There is a burning sensation in the diaphragm, and heartburn. The pain is aching in nature, and follow patients constantly.
