Some people will find some abnormalities in their bodies after eating, because after eating, the digestive system will digest and absorb, and it is very common to have abnormalities. Some people experience left abdominal pain after meals, so what is the cause of left abdominal pain after meals?

1. Why do elderly people have pain in the left lower abdomen after meals?

1.1. Gastrointestinal factors: Some digestive system diseases, such as indigestion, gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, colitis, constipation and other diseases, may induce gastrointestinal dysfunction due to long-term treatment and other reasons.

1.2. Dietary reasons: bad eating habits, overeating, skipping breakfast due to work, irregular eating times, overeating or excessive hunger can cause gastrointestinal motility disorders, which ultimately lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction.

1.3. Psychological factors: Psychological factors are the main cause of gastrointestinal dysfunction. Tension, excessive stress, and emotional changes often directly affect the functional changes of human organs, among which the gastrointestinal tract is the most obvious. Negative emotions stimulate the cerebral cortex, leading to hypothalamic dysfunction, and also affect gastrointestinal function through the autonomic nervous system.

1.4. Drug factors: Long-term consumption of drugs that irritate the digestive tract mucosa may also cause gastrointestinal diseases and gastrointestinal dysfunction, leading to "poor stomach" and "gastrointestinal discomfort".
