Every person sooner or later, at least once in his life, encounters various unpleasant sensations in the stomach. But it is not easy to understand the reasons and take the right measures on your own.
Publika.az referring to medicina.az, according to gastroenterologist Polina Polevyanova, the ranking is as follows.
If the pain is localized in the epigastric region (the upper part of the abdomen, located between the sternum and the navel), it can be caused by problems in the esophagus, cardia of the stomach, and pancreas.
Pain in the right hypochondrium – pathology of the liver, gallbladder and biliary tract. In the left hypochondrium there is part of the stomach and the tail of the pancreas, which can cause pain. The small intestine is located in the navel area, and the large intestine is located on the right and left sides of the abdomen.
Everyone knows the region of the right groin corner where the appendix is located. However, in some people, it is located in a special way (behind the rectum, in the right hypochondrium or in the pelvis), imitating the pathology of other organs.
Therefore, it is important not only the localization of pain, but also what it is accompanied by.
Symptoms and sensations include: fever, change in the nature of stool (diarrhea or constipation) and its color, the appearance of pathological dirt in the stool (blood or mucus), change in the intensity of the pain syndrome (increased pain, expansion of localization), change in skin color (pale or yellow).
In addition, abdominal pain can be the result of problems with the spine and organs of the genitourinary system.
