Patient's question:
Is it better to do an ultrasound first, or to check from the lower body? Why do I often have stomach pain? Do I need an ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
Abdominal pain is commonly associated with digestive system disorders. Women should be checked for gynecological conditions. Generally, digestive system disorders are more common, such as gastritis. Gastritis can manifest as upper abdominal pain, bloating, belching, reduced appetite, nausea, and vomiting. The pain is usually a diffuse burning, dull, or distending pain in the upper abdomen. Some people may experience bloating, especially after meals with a noticeable sense of fullness. It may be triggered by consuming strong tea, strong coffee, spicy foods, strong alcohol, overly cold or hot foods, rough foods, or certain medications.
