Before we talk about the reasons, let's define what we mean by discomfort in the stomach or intestines. Discomfort - this is by and large any feeling that can not be called comfortable. That is, it is just discomfort, and various kinds of pain. On what exactly the feeling one experiences, complaining aboutdiscomfort in the stomach or in the intestineDepends on the diagnosis, and thus treatment. But still, there are diagnoses that doctors almost associated with the terms "stomach discomfort" and "discomfort in the gut." It dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome.
Stomach discomfort: dyspepsia
Generally indigestion - this is not a diagnosis, but a number of different digestive disorders. Thus dyspeptic symptoms, includingstomach discomfortMay occur as a background organic (associated with problems in the bodies) and background on the functional disorders.
Among the organic disorders that lead to the development of dyspepsia often have chronic pancreatitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastric ulcer, cholelithiasis.
As to functional disturbances which can cause indigestion and hence, discomfort in the stomach, it refers to the power failure (or nutritional disorders), stress, medication, increased secretion of hydrochloric acid and others.
Functional (nutritional) dyspepsia depending on the nature of eating disorders can be fat, or putrid fermentation. All three types of causestomach discomfortBut fat indigestion associated with excessive consumption of fats, putrid - Abuse proteins and fermentation - too frequent and prolonged use of carbohydrates.
How can manifest indigestion?Stomach discomfortAnd, more specifically, in the epigastric region - only one of the symptoms. In addition, patients with dyspepsia often complain of a feeling of satiety almost immediately after starting a meal and say that the food is as if stopped in the stomach. And possibly nausea and bloating in the epigastric region, which doctors must be differentiated from the visible abdominal distension.
While the differential diagnosis of doctors determine whether the patient has the disease, which could contribute to the development of organic dyspepsia and exclude all other possible diseases that are characterized bystomach discomfort dyspepsia and other symptoms. If no organic disease at the time of diagnosis is not found, the doctor concludes that the patient has an organic dyspepsia.
Depending on what caused the causes dyspepsia, treatment is prescribed. But in any case, regardless of the other recommendations of the doctor, to cure dyspepsia it is mandatory to establish the power.
Discomfort in the gut: SRK
That's right, using the abbreviation RCC, usually denoted by irritable bowel syndrome. On a par with dyspepsia syndrome is a disease that is often beyond the control of any organic disorders. What, then, becomes the reason for its development? There are several reasons, and each of them can cause IBS, and accordingly,gut discomfort:
- Vascular dystonia;
- Psychosomatic disorders, neuroses;
- Stress, chronic traumatic situations;
Much lessgut discomfortCaused IBS arises against poisoning or an intestinal infection. But even these phenomena in order to provoke IBS must be accompanied by psychological problems.
Diagnose the presence of irritable bowel syndrome is not easy, because doctors have to eliminate a significant number of other diseases, which is characterized by symptoms of IBS. But in general, identified a number of symptoms, the presence of which (especially accompanied by psychosomatic disorders) can suspect the presence of irritable bowel syndrome.
-gut discomfortWhich may be expressed as unpleasant sensations in the lungs and in significant pain;

In addition, to help establish a diagnosis of "IBS" accompanying symptoms. These include migraine, depression, phobias, anxiety, lump in the throat, panic attacks, nausea, belching, heaviness.
