Is severe abdominal pain a sign of a stomach ulcer?
Severe abdominal pain may be caused by gastric ulcer or other diseases. If this happens, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
Case 1: Gastric Ulcer
Gastric ulcer is usually a kind of peptic ulcer caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. It usually manifests as upper abdominal pain, which is more obvious after meals and relieved before meals. At the same time, it is often accompanied by symptoms such as loss of appetite and postprandial abdominal distension. Patients can take medication such as Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules and Amoxicillin Capsules under the guidance of a doctor.
Case 2: Non-gastric Ulcer Conditions
1. Acute Appendicitis: Acute appendicitis refers to the infection of the appendix located in the right lower abdomen, resulting in an inflammatory disease. It mainly manifests as shifting pain in the right lower abdomen, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and other symptoms. When the condition is severe, fever may also occur. For acute simple appendicitis, anti-infective treatment can be prescribed with cephalexin tablets and metronidazole tablets. For patients with recurrent chronic appendicitis or ineffective conservative treatment of acute appendicitis, surgical removal of the appendix is required.
2. Gastrointestinal Dysfunction: Gastrointestinal dysfunction is mainly caused by mental factors and improper diet, which can lead to imbalance in intestinal flora, causing abdominal pain, abdominal distension, constipation, and other conditions. In this case, probiotics preparations such as Bifidobacterium Triple Viable Powder and Bacillus Subtilis Double Viable Granules can be taken under the guidance of a doctor to regulate the gastrointestinal tract. In daily life, it is necessary to form good living habits, avoid overeating, eat more light and digestible foods, and eat less spicy and greasy foods.
In addition, it is also not excluded that the cause may be pancreatitis, gallbladder stones, and other factors. Therefore, once any discomfort is found in the body, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.
