Introduction
In general, discomfort in the stomach and reduced urination after intravenous infusion may be caused by non-pathological factors such as fasting before infusion or excessively rapid infusion rate. It could also result from pathological conditions, including chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, or heart failure. Specific causes should be evaluated through medical examinations at a hospital, and treatment should be carried out according to medical advice. Prompt medical attention is recommended to avoid delaying diagnosis and treatment.

Generally, discomfort in the stomach and reduced urination after intravenous (IV) infusion may be caused by non-pathological factors such as fasting during infusion or excessively fast infusion rate. However, it could also result from pathological conditions. Patients should seek symptomatic treatment under a doctor's guidance. Specific analyses are as follows:

I. Non-pathological Factors

1. Fasting during infusion
If significant stomach pain occurs, it may be due to gastric irritation caused by IV infusion on an empty stomach. Eating some easily digestible food to relieve hunger usually helps. Reduced urination might result from insufficient fluid intake, which can be resolved by timely rehydration.

2. Excessively fast infusion rate
If the IV infusion rate is too fast, symptoms such as nausea and vomiting may occur. Slowing down the infusion rate can alleviate these symptoms. If the patient’s hands feel cold during infusion, covering them with light clothing or placing a warm water bag under the hands may help.

II. Pathological Factors

Stomach discomfort and decreased urination after infusion may indicate impaired kidney function. When such symptoms occur, patients should stop the infusion immediately and go to the hospital for further evaluation to avoid delaying diagnosis and treatment.

Besides the three common causes mentioned above, other possible causes include chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, heart failure, etc. A thorough medical evaluation at a hospital is necessary to determine the exact cause. Follow medical advice for appropriate treatment and seek prompt medical attention to prevent worsening of the condition.
