What could be the reason for stomach pain without diarrhea?

Abdominal pain refers to stomachache. Diarrhea refers to loose or frequent bowel movements. In general, abdominal pain without diarrhea may be caused by cold exposure, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), intestinal spasms, intestinal obstruction, and other reasons. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Cold Exposure

Rapid temperature changes or exposure to cold stimuli may cause involuntary contraction or spasm of the abdominal muscles, leading to abdominal pain. It is recommended to rest more, keep warm, and gently massage the abdomen to relieve muscle tension and alleviate symptoms.

2. Indigestion

Consuming spicy or irritating foods frequently, overeating, or irregular eating habits may lead to indigestion, causing bloating and abdominal pain. A light diet is recommended. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as itopride hydrochloride tablets, mosapride citrate tablets, or cisapride tablets may be taken to enhance gastrointestinal motility and relieve symptoms.

3. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Patients with IBS commonly experience discomforts such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation. Consuming irritating foods or experiencing high mental stress may worsen these symptoms. Under medical supervision, probiotic medications such as Bifidobacterium triple viable capsules, Bacillus licheniformis viable capsules, or quadruple probiotic tablets may be prescribed to improve gastrointestinal motility and relieve symptoms.

4. Intestinal Spasm

Consumption of irritating foods, excessive mental stress, or emotional tension may lead to intestinal muscle tension and spasms, resulting in abdominal pain and bloating. Under a doctor’s guidance, medications such as tramadol hydrochloride tablets, morphine sulfate sustained-release tablets, or atropine sulfate tablets may be used to help alleviate symptoms.

5. Intestinal Obstruction

When intestinal contents cannot pass smoothly or become completely blocked, it may result in intestinal adhesions or twisting, causing intestinal obstruction and abdominal pain due to the blockage of fecal passage. Surgical interventions such as adhesion lysis, reduction of intussusception, or correction of intestinal volvulus should be performed under the care of professional physicians to relieve symptoms.

It is recommended to seek medical attention at a hospital for thorough examination and accurate diagnosis, and receive active treatment under medical guidance to alleviate symptoms. During treatment, adequate rest is important, irritating foods should be avoided, and keeping the abdomen warm is essential.
