What diseases may cause stomach pain

Abdominal pain is very common in daily life, and there are many causes of abdominal pain, including lesions of abdominal organs and diseases outside the abdominal cavity. With the navel as the center, the abdominal cavity can be divided into four parts: right upper abdomen, right lower abdomen, left upper abdomen, and left lower abdomen. Pain in these four parts may be related to lesions of different organs.

Right upper abdominal pain :

Problems with the liver and gallbladder should be given special consideration. For example, acute and chronic hepatitis, liver cancer, cholecystitis, gallstones, etc. may cause pain in the right upper abdomen. In addition, you should also pay attention to whether there are any problems with the pancreas, duodenum, right kidney, right segment of the large intestine, etc.

Right lower abdominal pain:

The first thing you should think about is whether you have appendicitis. If the pain starts with upper abdominal pain and then turns to right lower abdominal pain after a few hours, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, etc., it is mostly acute appendicitis. In addition, problems with the small intestine, cecum, and right ureter should also be considered. If accompanied by frequent urination, hematuria, etc., it is likely to be ureteral stones. Women should also pay attention to whether there are problems with the right ovary and fallopian tube.

Left upper abdominal pain:

First of all, you should consider problems with the spleen and stomach, and also pay attention to the pancreas, left kidney, and left part of the large intestine. If the pain in the left upper abdomen persists, is accompanied by intermittent aggravation, affects both sides of the waist, and is aggravated by eating, it is likely to be acute pancreatitis.

Left lower abdominal pain:

It may be a problem with the lower colon or rectum, such as intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, enteritis, dysentery, intestinal parasitic disease, etc., and you should also consider whether it is related to the left ureter. Women should also consider whether there is a problem with their left ovary and fallopian tube.

Pain around the belly button:

Problems with the small intestine and pancreas should be considered mainly.

Widespread abdominal pain:

It may be caused by a variety of reasons, such as gastric ulcer, appendicitis, cholecystitis, etc., which may cause persistent and severe pain in the entire abdominal cavity.

Abdominal pain should not be taken lightly. For severe colic or persistent pain of unknown cause, do not think that you can just endure it or warm it up with hot water and it will go away. Instead, be alert and go to the hospital promptly for treatment. Usually the doctor will ask you to do abdominal B-ultrasound, routine blood tests, blood biochemistry tests, etc., and if necessary, a CT scan of the entire abdominal cavity.
