Abdominal pain is a very common symptom, it can be mild or severe, mild enough to cause little discomfort, severe enough to make you roll around, and there are so many organs present in the abdomen that it is sometimes difficult to identify the location and cause of abdominal pain even for an experienced clinician. Let's get reacquainted with abdominal pain.

Diseases that may be indicated by abdominal pain.

Abdominal pain can be divided into ten levels according to the degree of pain, with higher levels indicating higher pain and a larger abdomen, and some skill is needed to describe the site of abdominal pain. There are many diseases that can cause abdominal pain, ranging from systemic and chest diseases to diseases of the internal organs of the abdomen, so here are a few of the common ones to introduce.

Disease one, gastritis

This is one of the most common diseases that cause abdominal pain. The stomach is mostly located in theUpperLeft abdomen, so one of the characteristics of abdominal pain caused by gastritis is that the pain occurs after eating and is accompanied by a burning sensation in the chest.

Disease 2, pancreatitis

When pancreatitis occurs, a large amount of lysosomes are released into the bloodstream and into the abdomen, resulting in severe abdominal pain. In addition to severe pain, pancreatitis can also be associated withBurning pain in the upper abdomen radiating to the back.

Disease 3: Appendicitis

The appendix, located at the junction of the colon and cecum, is a degenerated segment of the intestinal canal, but it can easily harbor dirt and lead to appendicitis, which can cause severe abdominal pain during acute attacks. Its abdominal pain is characterized by metastatic rebound pain.

Simple screening for abdominal pain

There are many other conditions that can cause abdominal pain, such as peritonitis, hepatitis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Screening for abdominal pain can sometimes be difficult to perform, depending on the location, degree, and accompanying symptoms of abdominal pain.

Screening I. Site of abdominal pain

For example, abdominal pain due to gastroesophagitis is usually in the upper abdomen, while peritoneal disease can cause pain throughout the abdomen, appendicitis in the right lower abdomen, and inflammatory colitis in the left lower abdomen.

Screening 2: Nature of abdominal pain

The most common types of abdominal pain are distension and colic. Colic is like a twisting of the intestines together and is usually caused by intestinal obstruction, while distension is due to enlargement of the organ but tension of the tissues outside the organ, indicating that inflammation of the organ is occurring.

Screening III, accompanying symptoms

Abdominal pain caused by disease does not usually appear as a single symptom, but also has other symptoms, such as intestinal obstruction that does not pass stool or fart for a long time, or gastritis that is accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

So when abdominal pain is found, it is better to rush to the hospital and leave the professional problems, to the professionals.
