Stomach ache
|
|
Stomach ache can have a variety of causes. However, only a few of them can be treated during an excursion, and even less by persons without any knowledge. Whereby, in case of stomach ache the first thing to estimate is if the excursion should be canceled, and not the treatment.
Measures
- The stomach ache that comes with a normal diarrhea disappears when the diarrhea is adequately treated.
- Black feces could be caused by a bleeding stomach ulcer. In this case, the person should descend immediately and see a doctor.
- Colics may come from biliary or kidney calculi.
- Pain in the lower right part of the abdomen, accompanied by fever (generally 38ºC to 39º C), lack of appetite, nausea or vomiting can be the indication of appendicitis. Next, the appendix swells, fills with pus and finally necroses. If the appendix cleaves, the pus and bowel contents pour into the abdominal cavity. The consequences could be a dangerous peritonitis. Putting the patient with the trunk lifted and the knees slightly bended alleviates the discomfort.
Pain test when appendicitis is suspected
Put pressure with the palms of the hands on the side of the abdomen where there is no pain. When you lift the hands abruptly, the abdomen tenses. In the case of appendicitis, this produces a strong pain. Before even the slightest suspicion of appendicitis, the person must descend immediately and see a doctor.
