Abdominal pain refers to the pathological changes in internal and external organs of the abdominal cavity caused by various reasons, manifested as abdominal pain. Abdominal pain can be divided into acute and chronic types. The etiology is extremely complex, including inflammation, tumors, bleeding, obstruction, perforation, trauma, and functional impairment.
Surgical acute abdominal pain (also known as acute abdomen) is one of the common clinical symptoms in surgery, which can occur in abdominal injuries and various abdominal diseases such as appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, biliary disorders, pancreatitis, etc.
The general location of abdominal pain is consistent with the location of the lesion. Common symptoms include biliary ascariasis, viral hepatitis, as well as ipsilateral pleural lesions or lobar pneumonia, such as upper right abdominal pain. The pain under the sword is seen in peptic ulcers. The most likely causes of lower right abdominal pain are appendicitis and mesenteric lymphadenitis. The possibility of constipation or dysentery should be considered when experiencing lower left abdominal pain. Umbilical pain is more common in cases of intestinal roundworm disease and acute enteritis. Severe abdominal pain, accompanied by high fever and systemic poisoning symptoms, often indicates primary peritonitis. For patients with colic along the ureter and lower back pain, the possibility of urinary tract stones should be considered more. But for some diseases, the site of onset may be different from the affected area.
Emergency treatment for acute abdominal pain
1. Bed rest, taking a prone position can relieve abdominal pain, or pressing the abdomen with both hands can alleviate abdominal pain.
2. Proper administration of antispasmodic drugs such as atropine, 654-2, or vitamin K3 can temporarily alleviate abdominal pain.
3. For those who suffer from abdominal pain or diarrhea caused by overeating, they can try massaging the abdomen with tung oil, which often has a certain analgesic effect.
When abdominal pain is severe and accompanied by vomiting, high fever, bloody stools, and intestinal type, it is advisable to seek medical treatment promptly and not stay at home to avoid delaying the condition.
The above incidence is for reference only. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a full body examination. It may be mechanical intestinal obstruction, acute intestinal torsion, etc., and sometimes it may be gastrointestinal spasm. Taking some antispasmodic drugs (such as belladonna) can relieve it.
