Stomach ache

The very first symptom that appears in various diseases is pain. It is a subjective sensation, it is not measured with the help of special instruments, each patient has a different threshold of sensitivity. Abdominal pain refers to frequent complaints of patients with diseases of this area. It is characterized by three indicators: character, intensity, localization.

To the most widespread kinds of similar sensations it is possible to carry spastic and constant pains in a stomach. The first type is manifested by attacks that are wavy in nature: the intensity periodically decreases and increases. They are also called colic. The causes of abdominal pain are increased peristalsis (contraction of the intestine, stomach and other organs). Such a state is also caused by inflammatory diseases, excessive gas formation or stress.

The most unpleasant and dangerous conditions are united in the term "acute stomach". Signs of such conditions are intense pain in the abdomen, which do not pass for two hours, the adherence of diarrhea, vomiting, fever. In this case, urgent hospitalization is needed.

The causes of abdominal pain, which has a permanent character, are serious inflammatory processes in the abdominal cavity, ulcerative lesions, bile duct attacks, acute pancreatitis, abscesses. This type is characterized by a stable and constant flow. Patients are usually presented with the following complaint: the stomach is very sore. These pathological conditions are always the first signs of such diseases, so when they arise, immediate hospitalization with intensive care is required.

In a separate species, chronic pain is experienced, which is characterized by a periodic appearance with subsequent complete disappearance of the symptoms. They are typical for inflammatory and infectious diseases of the stomach and intestines. Such pains are usually chronic. They, as a rule, disappear after the remission of the diseases that caused them.

There are other pathological conditions that are not associated with diseases of the intestine and stomach. They are called neurotic pains. These conditions appear against the background of psychoemotional stresses, overstrain, shocks. Painful sensations resemble a picture of an "acute abdomen". They can be accompanied by the appearance of sweating, palpitation, increased fatigue. A doctor-psychoneurologist is engaged in treatment of such pathological conditions.

Pain in the abdomen is accompanied by unpleasant symptoms, which include nausea, vomiting, sweating, rumbling. They are factors that indicate a violation of the function of the stomach, intestines, bile ducts, inflammatory processes that occur in the pancreas. There is also fever and chills. They indicate the attachment of dangerous infections or blockage of the biliary tract. With the appearance of intense convulsive pain, immediate hospitalization is required, as it is an indicator of the development of internal bleeding.

With diseases of the duodenum, stomach and esophagus, painful sensations are localized in the epigastric region. With inflammation of the lungs, myocardial infarction and pyelonephritis, a similar disposition of this trait may be observed. Pain in the region of the right hypochondrium testifies to diseases of the liver, gall bladder, bile ducts. With pancreatitis, this sign is projected into the left hypochondrium. Diseases of the small intestine are characterized by the appearance of pain in the near-buccal region. Complaints about the appearance of unpleasant sensations in the lower abdomen speak of pathological processes in the uterus, its appendages, the bladder. Soreness in the right iliac region characterizes the inflammation of the appendix, the caecum.
