Abdominal Pain Points to Pay Attention to

Stomach pain is a common symptom that many people experience. However, it seems that at some point, an upset stomach needs to be watched out for because it can be a sign of an illness that is worrying.

Then, at what point does stomach ache need to be watched out for?

Consultant gastroentero-hepatology and chairman of PB PEGI, Prof. Dr. dr. Ari Fahrial Syam, MMB, SpPD, K-GEH, FACP, FACG, FINASIM (@dokterari) explained that the pain points that need to be watched out for are:

Pain in the upper abdomen

Pain in the upper abdomen can be a sign of stomach upset. Generally, it is characterized by discomfort in the solar plexus area accompanied by nausea, bloating, and gas. The pain point is located on the upper left of the stomach, at the heart of the middle up to the upper left, which is in the stomach.

Pain in the upper right

Pain in the upper right can be a sign of liver problems, such as acute inflammation of hepatitis or ulcers in the liver. In addition, pain in the upper right middle of the stomach can be a sign of a disturbance in the gallbladder. Prof. Ari said that in the case of gallbladder stones, pain can be felt in the solar plexus area but to the right a little. This pain is often mistaken for an ulcer, even though the ultrasound source is from the gallbladder. To distinguish between, there are actually no distinctive symptoms between disorders of the bile and stomach. But. If it is bile, the heartburn will penetrate the back. Meanwhile, if the stomach can also be associated with a sore after eating. To be sure, we need to do an inspection.

Pain in the lower right

Pain in the lower right is generally synonymous with signs of appendicitis. However, Prof. Ari stated that not all pain in the lower right is a symptom of this digestive disorder. The appendix is ​​between the large and small intestine, which becomes inflamed when pressed and feels painful. But apart from that, there is also an ovary in the area that can also be painful, so lower right pain does not have to be appendicitis.

Well, PEGI friends now know the point that needs to be watched, right? If you feel it, don’t hesitate to check with the experts right away!

Greetings healthy.
