My stomach hurts when I drink water

Chinese culture teaches us to drink plenty of water, but why do we feel stomach pain as soon as we drink water? In fact, when we talk about the stomach here, there are generally two places where the pain occurs, one is the stomach, and the other is the abdomen. Pain in the stomach is pretty simple, and is usually caused by drinking too much cold water, but pain in the abdomen requires a bit of explanation.

Why does drinking water cause abdominal pain?

There are many reasons for abdominal pain, depending on the specific location, time, duration, etc. Abdominal pain is a common clinical symptom. The main cause of occurrence is due to diseases of intra-abdominal organs. In addition, diseases of other visceral systems outside the abdominal cavity and systemic infections may also cause abdominal pain. And the abdominal pain can be severe. Therefore, when diagnosing patients with abdominal pain, comprehensive considerations must be made. The degree of abdominal pain is related to the severity of the primary disease. For example, acute gastrointestinal perforation and liver and spleen rupture can cause severe abdominal pain, but this is not absolute. For example, although pancreatic cancer or gastric cancer has a very poor prognosis, it may only manifest as dull pain in the upper abdomen. Depending on the length of time since the onset of the disease, abdominal pain can be acute or chronic. Abdominal lesions, extra-abdominal lesions, and systemic diseases can all cause abdominal pain

Right lower abdominal pain

The first thing you should think about is whether you have appendicitis. If the pain starts with upper abdominal pain and then turns to right lower abdominal pain after a few hours, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, etc., it is mostly acute appendicitis. In addition, problems with the small intestine, cecum, and right ureter should also be considered. If accompanied by frequent urination, hematuria, etc., it is likely to be ureteral stones. Women should also pay attention to whether there are problems with the right ovary and fallopian tube.

Right upper abdominal pain

Problems with the liver and gallbladder should be given special consideration. For example, acute and chronic hepatitis, liver cancer, cholecystitis, gallstones, etc. may all cause right upper abdominal pain. In addition, you should also pay attention to whether there are problems with the pancreas, duodenum, right kidney, right segment of the large intestine, etc.

Left upper abdominal pain

First of all, you should consider problems with the spleen and stomach, and also pay attention to the pancreas, left kidney, and left part of the large intestine. If the left upper abdomen pain persists, accompanied by paroxysmal

If the symptoms worsen, spread to both sides of the waist, and are aggravated by eating, it is likely to be acute pancreatitis.

Left lower abdominal pain

It may be a problem with the lower colon or rectum, such as intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, enteritis, dysentery, intestinal parasitic disease, etc., and you should also consider whether it is related to the left ureter. Women should also consider whether there is a problem with their left ovary and fallopian tube.
