I need to go as soon as my stomach hurts, and it happens several times a day.

Generally, having abdominal pain followed by an urgent need to defecate, occurring several times a day, may be caused by pathological conditions such as gastrointestinal dysfunction, intestinal spasms, or enteritis. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Gastrointestinal Dysfunction

Gastrointestinal dysfunction can impair intestinal nutrient absorption and peristalsis, and may even trigger abnormal spasms. Patients may experience abdominal pain as a result. Due to these abnormal spasms, the contents of the intestine are rapidly expelled, leading to increased frequency of bowel movements. It is recommended that patients take medications such as domperidone tablets or mosapride citrate tablets under medical supervision.

2. Intestinal Spasm

Intestinal spasms are mainly caused by intense contractions of the smooth muscles in the abdomen. These muscle contractions accelerate gastrointestinal motility, resulting in diarrhea. It is recommended that patients take medications such as raceanisodamine hydrobromide tablets or simethicone tablets under medical guidance.

3. Enteritis

Abdominal pain immediately followed by frequent bowel movements may be due to inflammatory intestinal diseases, such as enteritis, which weakens digestive function. Common symptoms include reduced appetite, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. It is recommended that patients take medications such as ribavirin tablets or norfloxacin capsules as directed by a physician.

Besides the three causes mentioned above, other possible causes include colitis, urinary tract stones, colorectal tumors, etc. If discomfort occurs, patients should seek medical attention promptly.
