Why does my stomach hurt after defecation?

Normally, we should not feel any discomfort in the stomach after defecation, but some people experience stomach pain after defecation. This may be related to intestinal dysfunction or intestinal spasm, or it may be caused by colitis. After suffering from colitis, patients should pay more attention to rest. In addition, since this disease can cause long-term diarrhea in people, patients with colitis should supplement various nutrients, such as magnesium, zinc and other trace elements.

1. Why do I have stomach pain after defecation?

Abdominal pain after defecation is generally related to intestinal dysfunction, intestinal spasm or mesenteric lymphadenitis. It is recommended that you go to the gastroenterology department of the hospital as soon as possible, and complete a colonoscopy if necessary to rule out the possibility of colitis. At the same time, follow the doctor's advice. In addition, it is recommended to drink more warm water, keep the abdomen warm, do not eat spicy and irritating foods, and be careful to avoid contact with raw, cold and cool foods.

2. General treatment principles for colitis

1. Rest: Rest is very beneficial to the disease, especially for patients in the active stage, it is important to emphasize adequate rest and reduce mental and physical burden. As the condition improves, the amount of activity can be gradually increased, but strenuous activity should generally be avoided. The onset of colitis is also related to the patient's mental factors, so maintaining a good rest state is beneficial to the recovery of colitis patients.

2. Diet and nutrition: Regarding the issue of colitis patients drinking milk, it depends on whether the diarrhea worsens after drinking milk, because ulcerative colitis patients may be allergic to cow's milk protein. On the other hand, some patients may suffer from diarrhea after drinking milk due to a lack of lactase in the intestines. Due to factors such as diarrhea, bloody stools, long-term under-eating and malnutrition absorption, patients may have iron deficiency, folic acid deficiency or anemia and should be given appropriate supplements. Generally, it can be supplemented orally or by injection. The use of Chinese medicine that invigorates qi and strengthens the spleen, nourishes blood and replenishes the kidneys can also achieve the purpose of increasing physical fitness and supplementing nutrition. People with long-term diarrhea need to supplement calcium and trace elements such as magnesium and zinc. Patients with colitis should supplement adequate nutrition and eat less crude fiber foods. Patients can also take Chinese medicine for conditioning.
