Causes of stomach pain and vomiting

Under normal circumstances, stomach pain and vomiting may be caused by improper diet, abdominal exposure to cold, acute gastroenteritis, gastric ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux, or other reasons. Patients should promptly visit a正规 hospital to determine the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Improper Diet

Overeating, consuming excessively greasy, spicy, irritating foods, or spoiled food may lead to stomach discomfort, causing stomach pain and vomiting. Patients can relieve these symptoms through abdominal massage to promote gastrointestinal motility. Additionally, drinking warm water in moderation may also help alleviate discomfort.

2. Abdominal Exposure to Cold

If the abdomen is exposed to cold environments for prolonged periods or suddenly subjected to cold air, it may trigger contraction of stomach muscles, resulting in stomach pain and vomiting. It is recommended that patients drink warm water to improve symptoms. When necessary, patients may also follow medical advice to apply a warm compress (e.g., using a hot water bottle) on the abdomen for relief.

3. Acute Gastroenteritis

Acute gastroenteritis is usually caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites, and commonly presents with symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Under medical guidance, patients may take medications such as montmorillonite powder, enteritis relief tablets, or lactase tablets for treatment.

4. Gastric Ulcer

A gastric ulcer occurs when the stomach lining is damaged, typically influenced by gastric acid and bacteria within the stomach. Pain usually occurs in the upper abdomen and may be accompanied by vomiting. Under medical supervision, patients may use medications such as omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, colloidal bismuth pectin capsules, or amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium tablets for treatment.

5. Gastroesophageal Reflux

Gastroesophageal reflux is caused by impaired anti-reflux mechanisms and structural damage, along with reduced esophageal clearance capacity. Stomach contents flowing back into the esophagus may irritate the esophageal mucosa, leading to the aforementioned discomforts. Under medical guidance, patients may use medications such as lansoprazole enteric-coated tablets, pantoprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets, or famotidine tablets to improve symptoms.

In daily life, patients are advised to maintain regular eating habits, avoid overeating, and prevent placing excessive burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which could otherwise lead to gastrointestinal discomfort.
