What causes frequent stomach pain?
Disease description:
I have never been in great health since childhood. Recently, I have been experiencing frequent stomach pain and excessive flatulence. I went to the hospital for examination, and it was not found to be a stomach-related illness. I would like to ask, what could be the reason for frequent stomach pain?

Dr. Shen Yonghua
Below are some common causes that may lead to stomach pain:
1. Digestive system issues: Including gastritis, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, cholecystitis, gallstones, pancreatitis, enteritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease.
2. Food intolerance or allergies: Such as lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, or allergic reactions to certain food components.
3. Infections: Gastrointestinal infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, often accompanied by symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting.
4. Stress and anxiety: Psychological factors can sometimes cause abdominal discomfort, especially during periods of high stress or emotional fluctuations.
5. Functional abdominal pain: Persistent abdominal pain without obvious organ disease, which may be related to abnormal intestinal sensation.
6. Reproductive system problems: Women may experience abdominal pain due to menstrual cramps, ovarian cysts, or endometriosis; men may feel lower abdominal pain due to prostate issues.
At the same time, patients should also pay attention to adjusting their eating habits, avoiding excessive intake of spicy foods, and maintaining regular meal times to alleviate symptoms of abdominal pain.
