Why Do I Experience a Dull Ache in My Abdomen Early in the Morning?

Early Morning Abdominal Pain

Early morning abdominal pain can be caused by gastritis or gastric ulcer, which can be treated with oral medication.

1. Gastritis

Gastritis is typically caused by long-term heavy alcohol consumption or overeating. Patients often experience symptoms such as middle to upper abdominal pain, bloating, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, accompanied by feelings of heartburn, nausea, belching, and fever. Consequently, patients may experience abdominal pain in the early morning. Gastritis patients can use Domperidone Tablets and Magnesium Aluminum Carbonate Tablets under the guidance of a physician.

2. Gastric Ulcer

Gastric ulcers are commonly caused by prolonged consumption of spicy foods or poor dietary habits. Patients typically suffer from stomach pain, bloating, nausea, and abdominal discomfort, with symptoms worsening half an hour to an hour after eating, leading to early morning abdominal pain. When experiencing these symptoms, patients can use Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules and Rabeprazole Sodium Enteric-coated Capsules under the guidance of a physician.

During treatment, patients can consume easily digestible liquid foods such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, yam porridge, and soft noodles.
