How Dangerous Are Sharp Stomach Pains?
When individuals speak of severe pain in the stomach, they may actually be describing the pain that did is not coming from the actual organ known as the stomach. Terms like stomachache, stomach pains and stomach discomfort may describe any discomfort that comes from the area between the bottom of the ribcage and lower abdomen.
For our purposes in this article, we’ll, focus our attention only on problems that cause sharp pains in the upper abdomen – generally surrounding the navel. We won’t cover disorders like an inflamed appendix or pains in the groin region that you feel mostly in the lower regions of the abdomen.
With that in mind, here are the most typical causes of sharp pain in the stomach.
“Letting yourself go” – This basically means you ate more than you should have, or ate faster than you should have.
You can also eat something you shouldn’t have – certain foods set off allergic reactions in your body, or perhaps they’re just too difficult for your digestive system to handle.
Stomach virus – Obviously, there are brief stomach sicknesses that can cause severe upper abdominal discomfort. One of the most common is a stomach virus (commonly referred to as the stomach flu), which also tends to produce nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Gastritis – Gastritis is a disorder characterized by inflammation or erosion in part of the lining of the stomach. Stomach ulcers are a type of gastritis, and they can cause intense, extremely sharp pain in the stomach.
Acid reflux – Just about everyone is aware of a problem called heartburn. Heartburn, sometimes called acid reflux, occurs when stomach acid erupts past the valve between the stomach and the esophagus. The lining of the esophagus is significantly more sensitive than those in the stomach, so part of the esophagus becomes damaged by this acid. This causes tingling or burning discomfort in the upper abdominal area.
Cancer – As you probably know many kinds of cancer do not present any signs or symptoms they reach an advanced phase. But at a certain point, sharp pain starts to appear. This is also true with stomach cancer. Stomach cancer is now relatively rare in the U.S., but all have it are probably going to suffer sharp upper abdominal pains.
Gallbladder problems – When sharp stomach pains suddenly happen shortly after you have a rich, high cholesterol meal, it is likely to be a gallbladder attack. Gallbladder problems typically take place when too much cholesterol floods into the gallbladder all at once, and the gallbladder is unable to process it all normally. Gallbladder problems not only cause stomach pain, but can also cause pain in the side and upper back in the area of the shoulders.
Gallstones, another form of gallbladder trouble, can cause severe stomach pain as well.
Liver problems – There are many different kinds of liver problems that cause stomach pain. Liver problems may include cirrhosis and hepatitis, which are types of liver inflammation. abdominal pain is a common symptom of another liver-related disorder known as ascites. Ascites is an accumulation of fluid in the abdominal area.
Pancreas conditions – Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. One of the main functions of the pancreas is to help regulate the way the human body processes sugar.
Spleen – A condition called splenomegaly means you have an enlarged spleen. When you have splenomegaly, it is typically a sign that there is some other underlying problem. Infection, anemia, or cancer are possibilities. A ruptured spleen, which often occurs as a result of a serious blow or traumatic injury of some type, will cause stomach pain.
The list above are just some of the possible causes of severe stomach pain. In many cases, such pain goes away on its own without treatment. However, extremely intense stomach pain, or moderate stomach pain persisting for more than a few hours is worth a call to your general practitioner.
