The reason behind stomach ache

This question is sometimes difficult to answer accurately, even for medical professionals. In about a third of patients, the cause of their ailments can't be determined at all.

This is because there are so many possible causes. The pain may even be psychogenic, meaning that it is caused by stress or the psychological state of the patient.

In the abdominal cavity there are many internal organs and tissues. Pain may be in the intestines, stomach, liver, kidneys, gallbladder and bladder, uterus in women, as well as blood vessels and muscles that cover the abdomen. 

And sometimes the problem is not in them at all, but, for example, in the heart - then we talk about irradiating (reflected) pain.

This is why it is so important not to engage in self-diagnosis, but to go to the doctor when you have alarming symptoms. A specialist will assess your well-being, take into account your lifestyle, eating habits, and events that preceded the onset of pain.
