My stomach hurts, what's going on?

When we have a common stomachache, we will break out in cold sweats, curl up our bodies, and groan constantly to relieve the pain. It feels like we are going to die at any moment. Generally speaking, stomach pain is closely related to lifestyle habits. For example, you like to eat cold food, junk food, spicy and sour food, and drink alcohol. These are all direct causes of stomach pain. However, it is also written that stomach pain may be a sign of physical illness and should be taken seriously. So what should we do when facing stomach pain?

In life, many people like to rub their stomachs with their hands when they have stomachache. Doing so may relieve stomach pain caused by gastrointestinal spasms, but for many diseases, this will not only fail to relieve pain, but will also aggravate the condition.

If people rub their abdomen at this time, the mechanical stimulation will cause further damage to the ulcer, aggravate the condition, and even endanger life.

2. Acute suppurative peritonitis and appendicitis are common internal medicine diseases. Although the abdomen will be painful when the disease occurs, the inflammation is relatively limited. As long as medical treatment is sought early, the inflammation can often be effectively controlled.

3. Ascaris clumping or intestinal adhesion and twisting may also lead to poor flow of intestinal contents and cause mechanical intestinal obstruction. At this time, if you rub your abdomen to relieve pain without any understanding, the ascaris will be squeezed and run around, causing biliary ascariasis or even intestinal perforation. Intestinal obstruction caused by other reasons will also be aggravated by abdominal rubbing, and the pain will be aggravated.
