What is the reason for stomach pain

If you feel symptoms of bloating and pain in your stomach, you need to go to the hospital immediately. This may be related to gastrointestinal disorders or some inflammatory effects. No matter what the cause is, you need to find out the cause before taking the right medicine. This will prevent any misdiagnosis. If it is chronic gastritis, the treatment time will be much longer.

2. The onset of acute gastritis is usually rapid. Acute gastritis caused by bacteria or toxins contaminating food usually occurs after a few hours, usually not more than 24 hours.

3. Chronic gastritis is often caused by incomplete treatment of acute gastritis.

4. Gastric and duodenal ulcers are often related to seasonal changes, mental factors, improper diet, or a history of long-term use of ulcer-causing drugs such as aspirin. High mental stress and overexcitement of the vagus nerve can worsen ulcers and cause acute perforation.

5. Gastrointestinal neurosis is a functional disease of the stomach caused by dysfunction of the cerebral cortex (i.e. dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system that controls the stomach). It is a systemic disease. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system is often caused by the influence of various mental factors, such as excessive mental stress, long-term insomnia, long-term failure to resolve certain ideological contradictions, unexpected misfortunes, etc. It is more common in young and middle-aged people, and more common in women than in men.

The main manifestations are gastrointestinal secretion and motility disorders, often accompanied by systemic neurological symptoms such as stomach pain, abdominal distension, bitter taste in the mouth, bad breath, insomnia, premature ejaculation, frequent farts, mental distraction, palpitations, chest tightness, forgetfulness, and headache. It should be noted that not all patients have all the symptoms, some patients only have one or several of them.

Many patients with stomach problems have had this experience: anger, tension, and anxiety will aggravate stomach problems. This is because these negative emotions can cause autonomic nervous system dysfunction in the stomach, making the gastric smooth muscle tense, affecting gastric motility, and causing excessive secretion of gastric acid and pepsin, which can damage the gastric mucosa. Therefore, patients will feel very uncomfortable in their stomach.
