Introduction
Excessive gas accumulation in the middle and lower abdominal intestines may be related to factors such as indigestion, atrophic gastritis, and irritable bowel syndrome. Treatment can be carried out through daily care, oral medications, and other methods. Specifically: consuming large amounts of hard-to-digest food may lead to insufficient gastric motility, thereby causing indigestion. Clinically, symptoms such as bloating, pain, and vomiting may occur.
Excessive gas accumulation in the middle and lower abdominal intestines may be related to factors such as indigestion, atrophic gastritis, and irritable bowel syndrome. Patients can receive treatment through daily care and oral medications. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Indigestion
Consuming large amounts of hard-to-digest foods may lead to insufficient gastric motility, resulting in indigestion. Clinically, symptoms such as bloating, pain, and vomiting may occur. It is recommended that patients eat more easily digestible foods and perform appropriate local massage to reduce symptom occurrence.
2. Atrophic Gastritis
Long-term heavy alcohol consumption may damage the gastric mucosa, leading to atrophic gastritis. Clinical manifestations include abdominal pain, bloating, and nausea. Patients may take medications such as amoxicillin capsules and omeprazole enteric-coated capsules under medical guidance.
3. Irritable Bowel Syndrome
The exact cause of irritable bowel syndrome remains unclear, but it is generally believed to be associated with dietary factors, nervous system abnormalities, and other factors. Clinical symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, and constipation. Patients may take medications such as diclofenac sodium enteric-coated capsules and doxycycline hydrochloride enteric-coated capsules under medical supervision.
In addition to the above relatively common causes, excessive intestinal gas may also be related to conditions such as intestinal obstruction, intussusception, and stomach cancer. Patients should promptly visit a hospital for relevant examinations and follow medical advice for treatment.
