Common symptoms of stomach pain revealed

Stomach pain is mainly caused by stomach diseases, whether it is chronic gastric ulcer or chronic gastritis. Common stomach pain is caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. Different stomach pain symptoms are also different.

1. Acute simple gastritis

It is mainly caused by chemical substances, such as strong tea, coffee, liquor, condiments and other irritants, or taking salicylates, sulfonamides, anticancer drugs, antibiotics, reserpine, adrenal corticosteroids and other drugs that damage the gastric mucosa; physical factors such as eating too cold, too hot or rough food that damages the gastric mucosa; and microbial infection or bacterial toxins. Acute corrosive gastritis is often caused by suicide or accidental ingestion of corrosive agents such as strong acids and alkalis.

2. Acute erosive (hemorrhagic) gastritis

It often occurs in stressful conditions caused by surgery, burns, shock, trauma, multiple organ failure, etc., as well as drinking or taking non-steroidal drugs, and accounts for about 20% of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

3. Acute suppurative gastritis

It is mainly a suppurative disease caused by bacteria such as streptococci, staphylococci and Escherichia coli infecting the stomach wall, also known as cellulitis gastritis. Acute gastritis is a reversible disease and can be completely restored to normal through treatment. Through proper treatment, many patients with acute gastritis can be effectively and completely cured. The characteristic of acute gastritis is that it comes and goes quickly. However, if the treatment is not timely or thorough and the diet is improper, the condition will turn into chronic gastritis if it persists for a long time.

4. Chronic gastritis

Chronic gastritis refers to chronic inflammatory changes in the gastric mucosa due to various reasons. It is one of the most common and frequently occurring diseases. The characteristic is that the incidence rate in men is higher than that in women, and the incidence rate tends to increase with age. The essence of chronic gastritis is that after the gastric mucosal epithelium is repeatedly damaged, the mucosa is remodeled due to its specific regenerative ability, and eventually leads to irreversible atrophy or even disappearance of the intrinsic gastric glands.

5. Non-ulcer dyspepsia

Non-ulcer dyspepsia is a functional gastric disease, and a small number of cases are mild organic lesions. In the past, many doctors diagnosed the disease as chronic gastritis, gastric neurosis, gastrointestinal autonomic nervous system dysfunction, functional gastric dyspepsia, gastric spasm, etc. According to the latest authoritative epidemiological survey, the incidence of this disease in the population is as high as 10%, and it is also a common and frequently occurring disease of the stomach.
