ABDOMINAL PAIN

What Causes Abdominal Pain?
Medically reviewed by Steve Kim, MD  — Written by April Kahn

Abdominal pain is pain that occurs between the chest and pelvic regions. Abdominal pain can be crampy, achy, dull, intermittent or sharp. It’s also called a stomachache.

Inflammation or diseases that affect the organs in the abdomen can cause abdominal pain. Major organs located in the abdomen include:

    Intestines (small and large)
    kidneys
    appendix (a part of the large intestine)
    spleen
    stomach
    gallbladder
    liver
    pancreas

Viral, bacterial, or parasitic infections that affect the stomach and intestines may also cause significant abdominal pain.
What causes abdominal pain?

Abdominal pain can be caused by many conditions. However, the main causes are infection, abnormal growths, inflammation, obstruction (blockage), and intestinal disorders.

Infections in the throat, intestines, and blood can cause bacteria to enter your digestive tract, resulting in abdominal pain. These infections may also cause changes in digestion, such as diarrhea or constipation.

Cramps associated with menstruation are also a potential source of lower abdominal pain, but more commonly these are known to cause pelvic pain.

Other common causes of abdominal pain include:

    constipation
    diarrhea
    gastroenteritis (stomach flu)
    acid reflux (when stomach contents leak backward into the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms)
    vomiting
    stress

Diseases that affect the digestive system can also cause chronic abdominal pain. The most common are:

    gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
    irritable bowel syndrome or spastic colon (a disorder that causes abdominal pain, cramping, and changes in bowel movements)
    Crohn’s disease (an inflammatory bowel disease)
    lactose intolerance (the inability to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk and milk products)

Causes of severe abdominal pain include:

    organ rupture or near-rupture (such as a burst appendix, or appendicitis)
    gallbladder stones (known as gallstones)
    kidney stones
    kidney infection

Types of abdominal pain

Abdominal pain can be described as localized, cramp-like, or colicky.

Localized pain is limited to one area of the abdomen. This type of pain is often caused by problems in a particular organ. The most common cause of localized pain is stomach ulcers (open sores on the inner lining of the stomach).

Cramp-like pain may be associated with diarrhea, constipation, bloating, or flatulence. In women, it can be associated with menstruation, miscarriage, or complications in the female reproductive organs. This pain comes and goes, and may completely subside on its own without treatment.

Colicky pain is a symptom of more severe conditions, such as gallstones or kidney stones. This pain occurs suddenly and may feel like a severe muscle spasm.
Location of pain within the abdomen

The location of the pain within the abdomen may be a clue as to its cause.

Pain that is generalized throughout the abdomen (not in one specific area) may indicate:

    appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix)
    Crohn’s disease
    traumatic injury
    irritable bowel syndrome
    urinary tract infection
    the flu

Pain that is focused in the lower abdomen may indicate:

    appendicitis
    intestinal obstruction
    ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy that occurs outside the womb)

In women, pain in the reproductive organs of the lower abdomen can be caused by:

    severe menstrual pain (called dysmenorrhea)
    ovarian cysts
    miscarriage
    fibroids
    endometriosis
    pelvic inflammatory disease
    ectopic pregnancy

Upper abdominal pain may be caused by:

    gallstones
    heart attack
    hepatitis (liver inflammation)
    pneumonia

Pain in the center of the abdomen might be from:

    appendicitis
    gastroenteritis
    injury
    uremia (buildup of waste products in your blood)

Lower left abdominal pain may be caused by:

    Crohn’s disease
    cancer
    kidney infection
    ovarian cysts
    appendicitis

Upper left abdominal pain is sometimes caused by:

    enlarged spleen
    fecal impaction (hardened stool that can’t be eliminated)
    injury
    kidney infection
    heart attack
    cancer

Causes of lower right abdominal pain include:

    appendicitis
    hernia (when an organ protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles)
    kidney infection
    cancer
    flu

Upper right abdominal pain may be from:

    hepatitis
    injury
    pneumonia
    appendicitis

When to see the doctor

Mild abdominal pain may go away without treatment. However, in some cases, abdominal pain may warrant a trip to the doctor.

Call 911 if your abdominal pain is severe and associated with trauma (from an accident or injury) or pressure or pain in your chest.

You should seek immediate medical care if the pain is so severe that you can’t sit still or need to curl into a ball to get comfortable, or if you have any of the following:

    bloody stools
    high fever (greater than 101°F)
    vomiting up blood (called hematemesis)
    persistent nausea or vomiting
    yellowing of the skin or eyes
    swelling or severe tenderness of the abdomen
    difficulty breathing

Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms:

    abdominal pain that lasts longer than 24 hours
    prolonged constipation
    vomiting
    a burning sensation when you urinate
    fever
    loss of appetite
    unexplained weight loss

Call your doctor if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding and you experience abdominal pain.
How is the cause of abdominal pain diagnosed?

The cause of abdominal pain can be diagnosed through a series of tests. Before ordering tests, your doctor will do a physical examination. This includes gently pressing down on various areas of your abdomen to check for tenderness and swelling. This information, combined with the severity of the pain and its location within the abdomen, will help your doctor determine which tests to order.

Imaging tests, such as MRI scans, ultrasounds, and X-rays, are used to view organs, tissues, and other structures in the abdomen in detail. These tests can help diagnose tumors, fractures, ruptures, and inflammation.

Other tests include:

    colonoscopy (to look inside the colon and intestines)
    endoscopy (to detect inflammation and abnormalities in the esophagus and stomach)
    upper GI (a special X-ray test that uses contrast dye to check for the presence of growths, ulcers, inflammation, blockages, and other abnormalities in the stomach)

Blood, urine, and stool samples may also be collected to look for evidence of bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections.
How can I prevent abdominal pain?

Not all forms of abdominal pain are preventable. However, you can minimize the risk of developing abdominal pain by doing the following:

    Eat a healthy diet.
    Drink water frequently.
    Exercise regularly.
    Eat smaller meals.

If you have an intestinal disorder, such as Crohn’s disease, follow the diet your doctor has given you to minimize discomfort. If you have GERD, don’t eat within two hours of bedtime.

Lying down too soon after eating may cause heartburn and abdominal pain. Try waiting at least two hours after eating before lying down.

We have power over breast lump and other health complications

BREAST LUMP

What Causes Breast Lump?

Most breast lumps are noncancerous, which means they are benign. You might be surprised to find a breast lump, but it’s important to remember that it may not affect your long-term health. 

However, a breast lump can be a sign of cancer. It’s wise to always seek a medical evaluation of any lumps or swelling you discover on your breasts.

Although breasts are commonly associated with women, breast tissue is present in both men and women. Your hormones affect this tissue. Hormonal changes can cause lumps to form and, in some cases, to naturally disappear. You can develop breast lumps at any age.

Some babies develop breast lumps due to the estrogen they get from their mothers during birth. These generally clear up as the estrogen leaves their bodies.

Pre-pubescent girls sometimes get breast lumps that feel tender. These usually go away naturally during puberty. Adolescent boys can also get breast lumps during puberty. These are temporary and usually disappear in a few months as well.

Causes of Breast Lumps

There are many possible causes for a lump in your breast, including:

breast cysts, which are soft, fluid-filled sacs
milk cysts, referring to sacs filled with milk that can occur during breast-feeding
fibrocystic breasts, a condition in which breast tissue feels lumpy in texture and is sometimes accompanied by pain
fibroadenoma, meaning noncancerous rubbery lumps that move easily within the breast tissue and rarely become cancerous
hamartoma, which is a benign, tumorlike growth
intraductal papilloma, referring to a small, non-cancerous tumor in a milk duct
lipoma, which is a slow-growing, noncancerous, fatty lump
mastitis, or an infection of the breast
injury
breast cancer
How Your Breasts Should Feel

Breast tissue varies in consistency, with the upper-outer part of your breast being firm and the inner-lower parts feeling somewhat softer. If you are a woman, your breasts can become more tender or lumpy during your menstrual cycle. Breasts tend to get less dense as you get older.

It is important to be familiar with how your breasts normally feel so you are aware of changes. But keep in mind that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force does not recommend that your doctor teach you how to examine your breasts on your own. That’s because there’s little evidence that breast self-examination reduces the risk of dying from breast cancer. In fact, breast self-examination may cause harm because you’re more likely to find a noncancerous lump, which could be a source of worry. In some cases, this may lead to unnecessary medical procedures to ensure that the lump is benign.

Instead of performing breast self-examination, most experts recommend that women simply be aware of what their breasts normally look and feel like. For example, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that women practice breast self-awareness. You should report any changes or concerns to your doctor.

Signs You Should See a Doctor

Remember, most breast lumps are noncancerous. However, you should make an appointment to see your doctor if:

you discover a new lump
an area of your breast is noticeably different than the rest
a lump does not go away after menstruation
a lump changes or grows larger
your breast is bruised for no apparent reason
the skin of your breast is red or begins to pucker like an orange peel
you have an inverted nipple (if it was not always inverted)
you notice bloody discharge from the nipple.

If you discover lump in your breast, contact us today and free from breast lump without undergoing operations.

KIDNEY DISEASES.
BEWARE AND BEWARNED!

Many young people are increasingly dying as a result of kidney disease.

HOW TO AVERT THE MENACE OF KIDNEY DISEASE:

1. Stop delaying going to a toilet.
Keeping your urine in your bladder for too long is a bad idea.

A full bladder can cause bladder damage.
The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies bacteria quickly.

Once the urine refluxes back to the urether and kidneys, toxic substances can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract infections, and nephritis, plus uremia.

When nature calls do it as soon as possible.

2. Eating too much salt.
You should eat not more than 5.8 grams of salt daily.

3. Eating too much meat.
Too much protein in your diet is harmful for your kidneys. Protein digestion produces ammonia – a toxin that is very destructive to your kidneys.

More meat equals more kidney damage.

4. Drinking too much caffeine.
Caffeine is a component of many sodas and soft drinks. It raises your blood pressure and your kidneys start suffering.

You should cut down the amount of Coke, Pepsi, Red Bull, etc that you drink daily.

5. Not drinking water.
Our kidneys should be hydrated properly to perform their functions well.

If we don’t drink enough, the toxins can start accumulating in the blood, as there isn’t enough fluid to drain them through kidneys.

***Drink more than 10 glasses of water daily.

There is an easy way to check if you are drinking enough water:

Look at the colour of your urine; the lighter the colour, the better.

6. Late treatment.
Treat all your health problems properly and have your health checked regularly.

Also avoid these Tablets, they are very dangerous:
* D-Cold
* Vicks Action-500
* Actified
* Coldarin
* Cosome
* Nice
* Nimulid
* Cetrizet-D

They contain Phenyl Propanol-Amide PPA which causes Strokes and are banned in USA.

NOTE: 1. Answer phone calls with the left ear.

2. Don't take your medicine with cold water....

3. Don't eat heavy meals after 5pm.

4. Drink more water in the morning, less at night.

5. Best sleeping time is from 10pm to 4 am.

6. Don’t lie down immediately after taking medicine or after meals.

7. When phone's battery is low to last bar, don't answer the phone; the radiation is 1000 times stronger.
