Everyone has had stomach pain at least once in their life.. Sometimes the pain is accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.. It's not always a cause for concern..

Abdominal pain can sometimes be caused by ordinary overeating.. In addition, certain foods, excess fat, gas, and lactose intolerance from dairy products can all cause pain, which is usually temporary and resolves in a few hours.. But there are more serious diseases that manifest themselves as abdominal pain.. The abdomen contains many vital organs..

It is often difficult to determine exactly what hurts, as the pain travels. It hurts a little higher, then a little lower, then on the right, then on the left. In addition, it happens that it hurts in the stomach, but the really diseased organ is located outside of it.. So, for example, pain in the abdomen with pneumonia of the right lung is characteristic..

Pain around the navel may be associated with a bowel disorder or inflammation of the appendix.. The appendix can become inflamed when the stool passes through the rectum.. Without proper treatment, the appendix can rupture and cause peritonitis.. Peritonitis - inflammation of the peritoneum, a serious abdominal infection that is life-threatening.

Pain just above the navel is usually associated with stomach problems. Among the culprits of this pain are gastritis, stomach ulcers, hyperacidity.. Persistent pain in this place indicates problems of the duodenum, pancreas and gallbladder.

Pain below the navel, may also radiate to the right and left, usually indicating a disorder in the rectum. In women, infections and inflammation of the genitourinary system can also occur.. Pain in the left upper abdomen indicates problems with the colon, stomach and pancreas.

Pain in the upper right side, especially severe, indicates inflammation of the gallbladder. This pain can be felt up to the central part of the abdomen, as well as radiate to the back.. Other causes of such pain are pancreatitis and duodenal disorders..

Pain in the lower left side is usually associated with problems in the rectum. Various forms of colitis (ulcerative, Crohn's disease, spastic colitis) give pain here. Pain in the lower right side is associated with inflammation of the colon or appendix. Walking pains that suddenly appear in various places indicate problems, as a rule, in one organ..

Pain in the gallbladder may radiate to the chest or right shoulder.

With pancreatic problems, some feel pain between the shoulder blades.

Pain in the abdominal cavity can also occur with acute allergies, diseases of the lungs and heart. In most cases, the pain is short-lived. But with persistent, recurring, intensifying pain, which, God forbid, is accompanied by shortness of breath, dizziness, bleeding, fever, vomiting, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Finally, I would like to wish everyone good health.
