7 Types of Stomach Pain

Almost everybody experiences a stomach ache at some point in life. In most cases, abdominal discomfort is not serious and develops as the result of overeating, gas, or indigestion.

When diagnosing the cause of stomach pain, a doctor will ask what the pain feels like, its location, and how much it hurts. The answers, along with the physical examination and some medical tests, help doctors determine the cause of and treatment for the stomach pain.

There are many different types of stomach pain, often described by what the pain feels like and its location. Stomach pain may be the result of any number of medical conditions, which can range from completely harmless to quite serious.

1. Uncomfortable bloating

Possible cause: excess gas

Your body breaks down food through a series of chemical reactions that take place in different parts of your digestive tract. Some of the chemical reactions in your digestive tract can result in the release of gas – this is especially true when digesting some foods, such as beans, carbonated beverages and leafy green vegetables. Eating too many of these foods can cause excessive gas and uncomfortable bloating in your digestive tract.

While uncomfortable, bloating is not usually serious and goes away on its own or with the help of over-the-counter drugs. Those prone to uncomfortable bloating may prevent it by limiting their intake of food and beverages are known to trigger gas.

2. Sharp pain in the lower right side of your abdomen

Possible cause: appendicitis

Doctors once thought that the appendix is a vestigial organ, which is an organ that has lost its function through evolution. Now many medical professionals think the appendix plays a role in maintaining a healthy balance of microorganisms living in the human gut. Infection or blockage of the hollow chamber within the appendix can cause inflammation. Bacteria can build up inside the appendix; if the appendix bursts, it can release the bacteria into the abdominal cavity and cause a number of serious complications.

Treatment is essential due to the dangers associated with a ruptured appendix. Antibiotics can be an effective treatment in some cases, but surgical removal of the appendix is usually necessary.

3. Sharp stabbing pain in your upper right abdomen

Possible cause: gallstones

Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ in your upper right abdomen, just beneath your liver. Its main job is to store some of the bile your body uses to digest food. Your gallbladder squirts bile through a thin tube known as the biliary duct into your small intestine just as food leaves your stomach. Your liver can excrete excess cholesterol, which can collect inside your gallbladder and harden into gallstones. You may feel sharp, jabbing pain in your upper right abdomen when your gallbladder tries to pass the gallstones through your biliary duct.

Some people who have gallstones never experience any symptoms. When pain begins, however, the condition requires prompt treatment. Depending on the severity of pain and other factors, treatment options range from oral medications that dissolve gallstones to surgery to remove the gallbladder.

4. Pain or burning in your upper middle abdominal

Possible cause: peptic ulcer

A layer of thick mucus acts as a barrier between the lining of your stomach and the caustic juices used in digestion. Infection, heavy drinking, aspirin, smoking or other digestive problems can compromise the mucus barrier to allow the digestive juices to eat away at your stomach lining. Damage done by the stomach acid can allow sores, known as peptic ulcers, to develop on the stomach lining. These ulcers can cause stomach pain and even bleeding.

Treatment focuses on neutralizing or reducing stomach acid to give sores time to heal. If a peptic ulcer develops as the result of an infection, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics.

5. General abdominal pain with diarrhea

Possible cause: gastroenteritis

Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, usually affecting the stomach or small intestine. Also known as infectious diarrhea, gastroenteritis is typically caused by rotavirus, norovirus, adenovirus, or other viruses. The infection triggers inflammation, which then causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, and sometimes vomiting.

Treatment typically focuses on managing diarrhea and other symptoms. Fluids are helpful in counteracting dehydration resulting from diarrhea and vomiting.

6. General abdominal pain with bloating

Possible cause: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

IBS is an umbrella term for a group of conditions that cause common symptoms, such as abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits, including constipation or diarrhea.

There is currently no cure for IBS. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and may include dietary changes and medications to treat diarrhea and constipation.

7. Pain with bloody diarrhea

Possible cause: Inflammatory bowel disease

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are both types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which means they involve inflammation of different parts of the digestive tract. This inflammation can cause intestinal bleeding and abdominal pain.

There is no cure for IBD, so treatment focuses on managing symptoms. Medication can reduce inflammation and ease symptoms. Surgery to remove part or all of the colon may be required in severe cases.

If you are experiencing severe stomach pain, bleeding, or excessive vomiting or diarrhea, seek medical care immediately. Consult with your gastroenterologist if you have mild to moderate stomach pain without bleeding, or if your stomach pain persists.

About abdominal pain

Abdominal pain is pain felt anywhere from below your ribs to your pelvis. It is also known as tummy pain or stomach pain. The abdomen houses many organs, including your stomach, liver, pancreas, small and large bowel, and reproductive organs. There are also major blood vessels in the abdomen.

Serious causes of abdominal pain include appendicitis and pregnancy problems. However, most abdominal pain is harmless and goes away without surgery.

Most people only need relief from their symptoms. Sometimes, abdominal pain can stop and the cause will never be known, or the cause may becomes more obvious with time.

When to see a doctor about abdominal pain

Go straight to your doctor or the emergency department of the nearest hospital if you have any of the following:

• severe pain
• pain lasting for several hours
• pain or vaginal bleeding if you are pregnant
• pain in your scrotum if you are a male
• pain and vomiting or shortness of breath
• pain and vomiting blood
• blood in your bowel motions or urine
• pain that spreads to your chest, neck or shoulder
• fever and sweats
• become pale and clammy
• unable to pass urine
• unable to move your bowels or pass gas
• any other concerns.

Symptoms of abdominal pain in adults

The type of pain can vary greatly. When abdominal pain occurs, it can:

• be sharp, dull, stabbing, cramp-like, twisting or fit many other descriptions
• be brief, come and go in waves, or it can be constant
• make you throw up (vomit)
• make you want to stay still or make you so restless that you pace around trying to find ‘just the right position’
• vary from a minor problem to one needing urgent surgery.

Causes of abdominal pain in adults

There are many reasons why you may have pain in your abdomen. People often worry about appendicitis, gallstones, ulcers, infections and pregnancy problems. Doctors also worry about these, as well as many other conditions.

Abdominal pain may not come from the abdomen. Some surprising causes include heart attacks and pneumonia, conditions in the pelvis or groin, some skin rashes like shingles, and problems with stomach muscles like a strain. The pain may occur along with problems in passing urine or with bowel motions, or period problems.

With so many organs and structures in the abdomen, it can be hard for a doctor to be absolutely sure about the cause of your problem.

The doctor will ask you several questions and then examine you carefully. The doctor may perform no further tests. The cause of your pain may be quite clearly not serious. Another scenario may be that the doctor is unable to find a cause, but the pain gets better within hours or days. The doctor will assess whether the pain requires surgery or admission to hospital.

Diagnosis of abdominal pain in adults

To diagnose abdominal pain, doctors and healthcare professionals are likely to ask you the following questions:

Where is the pain?

Doctors and other health professionals will first ask you where you feel the pain. Pain above the umbilicus (belly button) but below the ribcage on the right may be gallstone pain. Gallstone pain may spread (or radiate) to the right shoulder or the back.

Pain from kidney stones is felt in the right side or left side, more in the back than the front of the abdomen, and tends to radiate downwards into the groin on the same side.

Pain in the very centre of the abdomen is more likely to be coming from the intestines, however in males, testicular pain is also felt in the centre of the abdomen.

When did the pain start?

Abdominal pain is ‘acute’ if present for less than a day or 2, ‘persistent’ if longer than a day or 2, and ‘chronic’ if present for more than 2 weeks.

How severe is the pain?

Health professionals will usually ask you to rate the pain or give a pain score out of 10. Mild pain might be rated 3 to 4, noticeable and unpleasant (like a toothache) but not severe enough to interfere with usual activity.

Severe pain stops all other activities (like labour pain in childbirth). Gallstone or kidney stone pain is often severe.

Does the pain come and go?

Abdominal pain that comes and goes in waves is called colic, and comes from the contraction of a hollow organ such as the bowel, the gallbladder or the urinary tract. Pain from other organs may be constant – for example stomach ulcers, pancreatitis or pain from an abdominal infection.

Have you had this pain before?

Gallstone pain and kidney stone pain will often recur every few months.

Period pain can be severe and may indicate an underlying problem such as endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease, while pain in the middle of the menstrual cycle can be due to an ovarian follicle.

What events led up to the pain?

This is an important question as it might point to the cause of the pain. Examples are trauma such as a sporting injury or car accident, recent medication such as anti-inflammatories or antibiotics, or heavier than usual alcohol intake, which might trigger pancreatitis.

Are there associated features?

Blood in the urine, together with flank pain (pain between the pelvis and the ribs), point to kidney stones.

Vomiting with pain in the centre of the abdomen can point to a small bowel obstruction. Severe constipation with pain in the side may point to a large bowel obstruction.

Do you have a history of previous surgery or radiation therapy to the abdomen?

Recent surgery to the bowel or other abdominal organs might result in complications, such as infection, that could cause abdominal pain.

Scarring to the tissue surrounding the bowel, or adhesions, can be caused by surgery or radiation therapy and trigger bowel obstruction.

Examinations and tests

If examinations and tests are needed, these may include:

• a rectal exam to check for hidden blood or other problems
• a check of the penis and scrotum
• a pelvic exam to check for problems in the womb (uterus), fallopian tubes and ovaries, and a pregnancy test
• a blood test to look for infection (which causes a raised white cell count) or bleeding (which causes a low blood count or haemoglobin)
• other blood tests may look at enzymes in the liver, pancreas and heart to sort out which organ may be involved
• a urine test to look for a urine infection or blood (if there is a kidney stone)
• an ECG (an electrical tracing of the heart) to rule out a heart attack
• other tests, including x-ray, ultrasound or CT scan
• an endoscopy – an examination where a flexible tube with a light and video camera at the tip is used to examine some internal organs without the need for surgery. Different names are used depending on which organ is being looked at
• sometimes you may be referred to another doctor to help find the cause of the problem.

If you do have tests, the doctor will explain the results to you. Some results may take a number of days to come back and these will be sent to your local doctor.

Treatment for abdominal pain in adults

Your treatment depends on what is causing your pain, but may include:

• Pain relief – your pain may not go away fully with painkillers, but it should ease.
• Fluids – you may have fluids given into a vein to correct fluid loss and rest your bowel.
• Medicines – for example, you may be given something to stop you vomiting.
• Fasting – your doctor may ask you not to eat or drink anything until the cause of your pain is known.

Taking care of yourself at home

Most abdominal pain goes away without special treatment. Be guided by your doctor, but there are some things you can do to help ease the pain, including:

• Place a hot water bottle or heated wheat bag on your abdomen.
• Soak in a warm bath. Take care not to scald yourself.
• Drink plenty of clear fluids such as water.
• Reduce your intake of coffee, tea and alcohol as these can make the pain worse.
• When you are allowed to eat again, start with clear liquids, then progress to bland foods such as crackers, rice, bananas or toast. Your doctor may advise you to avoid certain foods.
• Get plenty of rest.
• Try over-the-counter antacids, to help reduce some types of pain.
• Take mild painkillers such as paracetamol. Please check the packet for the right dose. Avoid aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs unless advised to take them by a doctor. These drugs can make some types of abdominal pain worse.

Why does the lower abdomen hurt in women?

Women quite often suffer from pain in the lower abdomen, arising from both physiological causes and serious diseases. Trying to eliminate pain by taking antispasmodics is possible only when it is established that there is no threat to the body.

When pain is accompanied by other warning symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor for diagnosis. A complex of examinations, a detailed collection of anamnesis is needed, after which the doctor will prescribe an adequate treatment.

Causes of abdominal pain in women

Pain in this area may indicate inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases, intestinal disorders, congenital pathologies. There are several likely sources.

• Ovulation – in the middle of the cycle, a number of women experience pain, usually it quickly passes and is well stopped by antispasmodics. True, in the event that a woman suffers from apoplexy (increased volume of fluid in the abdomen), the pain will be much longer and painkillers will not help.
• Appendicitis – if the pain during ovulation is well known to women, then the sensations from the inflamed appendicitis will be strong and unknown, they will be localized on the right side, during the day they will either intensify, or almost completely disappear. In this case, you should immediately consult a doctor.
• Intestinal spasm – usually accompanied by stool changes. Most likely, the cause of intestinal spasm is overeating the day before or eating a large amount of junk food, such as chips.
• Ectopic pregnancy – usually this, in addition to pain in the lower abdomen, indicates a delay in menstruation. In this case, a pregnancy test may show a negative result. In order to exclude this dangerous diagnosis, you need to contact a gynecologist and take a blood test for hCG.
• Inflammatory processes of the uterine appendages – inflammatory processes in the pelvic organs can be triggered by hypothermia or infections. If the causes of pain in the lower abdomen are precisely this, then it is extremely important to consult a doctor in time, since inflammation of the appendages can cause infertility.
• Cystitis – in this case you will feel very peculiar pains of a cutting nature in the very bottom of the abdomen, they will be especially well felt in the process of urination.
• Menstruation – usually on the first day of menstruation or a few days before they begin, almost all women feel a pulling, dull pain in the lower abdomen, most often it is well eliminated by taking analgesics. Pain during this period is considered normal.
• Oncological diseases – in the event that the pain is difficult to characterize and accurately determine its localization, then things may be much worse than you think and you urgently need the help of doctors.
• Uterine fibroids – benign neoplasms can also cause inconvenience and pain, and a woman will also observe extremely heavy menstruation.

A woman should be attentive to her health, especially reproductive health, so pain in the lower abdomen should alert her. If a woman is concerned about pain during urination, or immediately after, as well as constant discomfort and aching pain in this area, you should visit a gynecologist, then a urologist. Even more carefully, one should approach the painful sensations if impurities are found in the urine: mucous and bloody.

When the pain radiates to the lower back, it is necessary to exclude an infectious disease of the kidneys and ureters – pyelonephritis. The characteristic burning pain in cystitis is often combined with inflammatory processes in the genitals.

The nature of abdominal pain and its features

The nature of pain varies depending on the cause that caused it.

Inside the abdomen there are several important organs and interacting structures. By the nature of the pain, already at the initial examination, the doctor will determine how urgent the medical intervention should be. It also determines which specialist you need to contact.

Types of pain commonly encountered in practice:

• Acute cutting pain in the lower abdomen in a woman often indicates dangerous reproductive problems that require urgent care. The most common problems are: ectopic pregnancy, adnexitis, endometriosis, complicated ovarian cyst or rupture.
• Cramping, such as muscle contractions and spasms, are most dangerous during pregnancy, if the term of delivery has not yet come. This pain is often accompanied by bleeding. The doctor is likely to suggest the threat of termination of pregnancy.
• Pulling that occurs periodically, as a rule, disturbs in the presence of chronic inflammatory processes in the reproductive organs. If they occur after intense exertion or during sexual intercourse, with a high degree of probability this indicates the presence of endometriosis, adnexitis, and adhesive disease. At rest, the pain subsides, but this does not mean that the process has completely subsided. When pulling pains appear, you should definitely consult a doctor, even if you think that there is no urgency.
• Pressing pains often occur in pregnant women with high uterine tone, and are considered a rather dangerous condition that requires an immediate visit to the doctor in charge of the pregnancy. Sometimes such pain is caused by a growing uterus, pressing on the internal organs.
• Often, pain in the lower abdomen can be caused by physiological causes before menstruation. The uterus enlarges during this time, causing pain and discomfort in nearby structures. When menstruation has already begun, the pain intensifies, weakness appears. Menstrual flow is usually copious. With such symptoms, it is advisable to visit a doctor and undergo an examination.

In any case, you should not postpone going to the clinic if you experience pain.

Timely diagnosis will increase the effectiveness of treatment, prevent complications, and shorten the duration of drug therapy.

Diagnosis of the causes of pain in the lower abdomen

Some diseases are similar in intensity and nature of pain. Differential diagnosis includes comprehensive examinations and examination by several specialized specialists. Attention is paid to the nuances: the frequency of pain; the presence of severe seizures; discharge from the urethra, vagina, uterus.

A variety of diagnostic tests are used to determine the source of pain and discomfort.

Laboratory tests:

• Smear for genital infections. Based on its results, a conclusion is obtained on the development of a latent bacterial flora.
• Bacterial culture of urine. Data are needed to detect urinary tract infections, abnormalities in the functioning of the kidneys and pathologies of a urological nature.

Instrumental examinations by doctor’s referral:

• Ultrasound (ultrasound examination) – allows you to qualitatively assess the condition of tissues, blood vessels, exclude blood supply problems, ectopic development of the embryo. The method is absolutely safe and has no restrictions on the number of procedures for a patient in any condition.
• Colposcopy – Examination with multiple magnification using a colposcope.
• Hysteroscopy – study of intrauterine changes, in which tissue biopsy and other minimally invasive techniques are available.
• Radiography – a picture in a plane under the influence of X-rays, revealing pathologies of the structure of bone tissues and organs.
• CT (computed tomography) – X-ray irradiation in a special box, in which the image is obtained in a three-dimensional volume. The accuracy of the indicators is achieved by setting the layer-by-layer cut to 1 mm.
• MRI – electromagnetic wave tomography, in which, under the influence of radiation, different tissues give a different reaction. The method is more used in the diagnosis of diseases of soft tissues, blood vessels.
• Laparoscopy – an invasive approach with penetration into the painful area for a detailed examination of the internal organs of the lower abdomen and taking tests. The laparoscopic examination technique is used for neoplasms, revealing hidden injuries, it is used only when absolutely necessary. Laparoscopy involves inserting a cannula into the cervix to gain direct access to the problem area.

Instrumental studies require preparation. It is imperative to observe hygiene and the diet prescribed by the doctor, and in some cases – a complete refusal to eat and drink for a certain time. After the appointment of the appropriate examination, the woman receives an exact list of preparation rules.

Indications for treatment

If you feel pain in the lower abdomen, you should immediately contact the clinic, since the diagnosis of the disease at its first stage will greatly increase the speed of recovery and help avoid complications. First, it is recommended to visit a gynecologist. If he does not find problems in the genitals, he will need to be examined by other specialized specialists: a urologist, a therapist.

We list the indications for which a visit to a doctor is mandatory:

• any pain in the lower abdomen not related to the menstrual cycle
• curdled discharge, offensive odor
• blood, mucus from the vagina or rectum
• genital itching, burning (including during urination)
• frequent urination
• nausea, vomiting
• constipation, stool problems
• blood in urine
• fever, chills, weakness
• sudden weight loss
• sharp pain in the lower abdomen in women in the absence of medical care leads to the irreversible development of pathologies. There are no typical contraindications to therapy, but not all effective research methods are acceptable for specific cases. The doctor’s task is to correctly determine an approach that is safe for the patient’s health and effective in treatment.

In the Bibirevo Central Clinic, an experienced doctor will examine you, prescribe diagnostic tests, and, based on their results, prescribe treatment in accordance with the stage of the disease detected and the severity of its course. Specialists will identify the source of pain using high-precision diagnostic equipment.

Methods of treatment for abdominal pain

Treatment is carried out in a complex, taking into account all possible problem areas. This will prevent the spread of infection and inflammation, if any.

The following treatments are used:

First Aid: If the pain is mild and the cause is physiological adjustment, a single dose of pain medication and warmth on the lower abdomen will help. Rest often reduces and relieves pain even without medication. But this technique can be used only if inflammation is not detected, and pain does not appear regularly.

In conservative treatment, drugs are selected individually, according to the cause of pain:

• Acute pain in the absence of infection is relieved by analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
• If an infection is detected, antiviral or antibacterial (depending on the pathogen) drugs are used, as well as drugs that strengthen the immune system. If the infection is bacterial, preparations that restore the microflora are also used.
• If pain persists for a long time, physiotherapy is prescribed as an aid. But it must be borne in mind that it is not indicated for all diagnoses in which pain appears.
• To strengthen the body, natural remedies are used: local inflammation helps to remove decoctions and infusions of medicinal herbs, herbal teas. Anti-inflammatory tampons and compresses are also used. It must be borne in mind that thermal procedures (warm compresses and a heating pad) for abdominal pain can only be used in the absence of inflammation. You can use them after examination by a gynecologist and urologist. It is dangerous to use such funds without an appointment.

If the pain is sharp and stabbing, urgent admission to the hospital is necessary. Hidden problems such as the appearance of adhesions, the likelihood of neoplasm, blockage of the fallopian tube, intestinal obstruction, require emergency care.

Disease prevention

Long-term practice shows that many diseases can be prevented simply by following simple rules:

• wash hands, observe general hygiene;
• strengthen immunity by taking natural immunomodulators;
• avoid hypothermia;
• eat rationally. Most of the diet should be vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins;
• avoid constipation. If necessary, stimulate intestinal motility with folk remedies;
• lead an active lifestyle.
