Causes of increased abdominal pressure

Many of our friends may have encountered the problem of abdominal bloating in their daily lives. It is mainly caused by eating too much. The symptom of abdominal pressure may not be understood by many people. It refers to the pressure on the abdomen and is also a manifestation of the intestinal contraction ability. If we have long-term increased abdominal pressure, it may mean that we have acute peritonitis, etc., so we should check it in time. I suggest you learn about the causes of increased abdominal pressure.

Abdominal pressure is the abbreviation for abdominal pressure. Abdominal pressure can be generated by muscle contraction, mainly due to the contraction of the abdominal wall muscles and diaphragm, which increases the intra-abdominal pressure. Straining, coughing, etc. will increase abdominal pressure. Generally, when the abdominal pressure increases, people mainly feel abdominal distension. Consider whether it is caused by intestinal diseases. If women have such symptoms, it is also necessary to consider whether it is related to gynecological diseases. In your case, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. At this time, you should check the specific condition after the doctor's examination, and then it will be better to carry out symptomatic treatment based on the examination results.

Generally, acute increase in intra-abdominal pressure is common in severe intra-abdominal infections with septic shock, such as acute peritonitis, acute pancreatitis, acute intestinal obstruction, severe abdominal trauma, ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, acute intra-abdominal bleeding or retroperitoneal hematoma, etc. It is best to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. In surgical clinic, acute increase in intra-abdominal pressure is common in severe intra-abdominal infections with septic shock such as acute peritonitis, acute pancreatitis, acute intestinal obstruction, severe abdominal trauma, rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm, acute intra-abdominal bleeding or retroperitoneal hematoma, hemorrhagic shock after abdominal packing hemostasis, or abdominal packing hemostasis for massive dorsal hemorrhage of the liver, acute progressive visceral edema after adequate fluid resuscitation, laparoscopic surgery under pneumoperitoneum, and inflation to combat shock.

When the intra-abdominal pressure increases, the tension on the abdominal wall increases, and in severe cases it can cause abdominal distension and abdominal wall tension. At this time, Doppler ultrasound examination found that the blood flow of the rectus sheath was weakened. If the abdomen was forcibly closed after open surgery, the incidence of incision infection and incision dehiscence was high. The abdominal dV/dP (volume/pressure) curve is not a linear curve, it does not rise as steeply as the oxygen dissociation curve. After a certain limit, even a small increase in the abdominal volume is sufficient to significantly increase the intra-abdominal pressure; on the contrary, partial decompression can significantly reduce the intra-abdominal high pressure.

It should be a manifestation of tenderness, which is an item in the physical examination. I suggest you check the abdominal color ultrasound to see if there is pelvic effusion or cysts, inflammation and other lesions. Usually, you should pay attention to maintaining a good mood, ensure adequate sleep, and engage in appropriate physical exercise to enhance your body's immunity. Pay attention to rest, keep warm, prevent colds, regulate your emotions, and prevent mood swings.
