What is Pain in Abdomen?

Worried about abdomen pain?

To get rid of abdominal cramps with homeopathic medicines, let us first know what exactly an abdominal cramp is, by understanding its nature and causes.

Abdominal cramping is characterised by a sharp, unexpected, sometimes excruciatingly tight feeling from the abdominal muscles which can be both uncomfortable and extremely painful.

Some common causes known to cause abdominal cramps:

1. Strained or Bruised abdominal muscles:
   • The muscles of the abdomen are made up of the upper, middle, and lower abdominal linings which are connected to each other by a flexible network of ligaments.
   • This complex structure makes it very susceptible to injury and muscular strain which in turn causes abdominal cramps.
   • During a strenuous exercise or overuse of muscles, the muscles are more prone to injury.
   • What causes a muscle to strain or bruise?
     • Bruised muscles are caused by trauma or blunt force to a body part. This trauma crushes the muscle fibers.
     • A muscle strain occurs when your muscle is overstretched or torn. This usually occurs as a result of fatigue, overuse, or improper use of a muscle.
   • Homeopathic medicines help the injured muscle fibers to heal and also helps to strengthen the fibers to prevent future injuries.

2. Gastrointestinal disorders:
   • How do GI disorders cause abdominal tension or cramps?
     • Normally, the gut and brain work together to control digestion. This takes place with the help of hormones, nerves, and signals released by the good bacteria that live in your gut.
     • In GI disorders, these co-operative signals become distorted, leading to uncoordinated and painful tension in the muscles of the digestive tract, leading to crampy pain in the abdomen.

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS):
  • IBS is the inability of the large intestine to fully empty before stool passing.
  • The most common symptoms of IBS are:
    • Abdominal pain and cramping
    • Diarrhoea or constipation or sometimes both
    • Bloating of abdomen
    • Flatulence
  • Homeopathic medicines accompanied by certain changes in the diet have proven to help and cure, many patients with IBS.

• Functional abdominal obstructive disorder (FAD):
  • FAD is the pain in the abdominal area after meals or upon rising.
  • A large intestine that is not able to empty completely before stool passes can cause abdominal cramps.

• Abnormal gastrointestinal activity such as swallowing, chewing, moving bowels, etc also causes cramping-like pain in the abdomen.

3. Menstruation in women:
   • Contractions of uterine muscles during menstrual cycles also cause cramps, especially in the lower abdomen.
   • Treatment of these cramps with homeopathic medicines helps reduce the painful spasmodic contractions.

4. Food Poisoning:
   • How does food poisoning cause abdominal cramps?

 Harmful organisms release toxins and irritate the lining of the stomach and intestines leading to painful inflammation, which may give rise to crampy pain in the abdomen.

• Symptoms of food poisoning are usually;
  • Diarrhoea
  • Vomiting
  • Nausea
  • Loss of appetite
  • A general feeling of weakness
  • Dizziness
  • Along with these, food poisoning is generally followed by abdominal cramps.
  • If food poisoning is associated with abdominal cramps a physician must be consulted.

5. Nutritional deficiencies:
   • Certain nutritional deficiencies such as potassium, folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin D, etc., are also known to cause abdominal cramping, as these deficiencies will make the muscles weak.

• Symptoms of nutritional deficiency include:
  • Abdominal cramps
  • Pale and lethargic skin
  • Weakness
  • Dull hair and nails
  • Dry mouth
