Doctor's answer:
Friends should all have experienced what stomach pain feels like. "Stomach pain" is medically referred to as "abdominal pain." The scope of "abdominal pain" is very broad. Think about it—how many things could cause it? The stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and even all the organs or muscles inside the abdomen can cause abdominal pain.Advice: For general pain, it usually passes with a little rest. It might be due to gas or cramping. If the pain is severe, you should go to the hospital. When the doctor asks, "Where does it hurt? How does it hurt?" the more detailed and accurate your description, the faster the doctor can identify the problem.
Here are a few types of abdominal pain mentioned by Jingshi An in Kyoto:
- Bloating pain: This is usually related to gas. Feeling full of air in the stomach or intestines is mostly due to functional gastrointestinal disorders.
- Colicky pain: This is usually severe pain, as if something inside is being twisted. Many conditions like gallstones, intestinal blockages, or acute intestinal inflammation cause colicky pain.
- Stabbing pain: This is often associated with peptic ulcers.
- Burning pain: This is usually due to excess stomach acid, most commonly caused by peptic ulcers or early signs of a problem.
