The doctor named unacceptable actions for abdominal pain

Therapist Nadezhda Chernyshova told us what not to do in case of abdominal pain. First of all, according to her, one should not drink painkillers, put a heating pad on the stomach, as well as engage in self-medication.

In a conversation with the website aif.ru on Tuesday, November 19, she stressed that in case of abdominal pain should necessarily consult a doctor or call an ambulance.

Chernyshova said that taking painkillers can make a person feel better, and in fact peritonitis can develop, but its manifestations can be blurred due to the anesthetic.

"The doctor, when he presses on certain areas, looks at the person's reaction. If it is pronounced, it means there is inflammation there. If not, then everything is fine. That is, because of taking pills, the patient can mislead the doctor," - said the therapist.

The specialist warned that the heating pad increases blood flow and accelerates the development of purulent inflammation. For example, with appendicitis, a heating pad will only accelerate peritonitis, which will lead to complications more quickly.

With abdominal pain Chernyshova urged to immediately seek medical help. The doctor should touch the abdomen, look at the tongue and measure the temperature, clarify the patient's complaints.

On the same day, surgeon Alexander Umnov warned that acute appendicitis has symptoms similar to gastritis or stomach ulcer. According to him, this is due to the fact that initially the pain is localized in the upper abdomen, and then passes to the right iliac region, notes 360.ru.

November 12, nutritionist-nutritionist Larisa Gabdulkhakova told "Izvestia" about the symptoms of the appearance of gastritis. According to her, the symptoms of gastritis are quite diverse. It can be pain - sore, aching or pressing, sometimes sharp in the form of cramps in the pancreatic region - the upper half of the abdomen.

November 7, general practitioner Marina Berezhnaya said that pain in different parts of the abdomen may indicate the development of various diseases. For example, unpleasant sensations in the upper part, which goes to the right lower, may be symptoms of appendicitis, notes Life.ru.

In October, doctor-gastroenterologist Valeria Lomova urged on an empty stomach in the morning not to eat bread and pastries, as well as not to drink coffee. On an empty stomach, she said, it can irritate the mucosa and provoke gastroesophageal reflux and heartburn, and baked goods in the morning will increase insulin in the blood, which leads to weight gain, reports NSN.

In September, cardiologist Anna Nebolsina, in a conversation with Izvestia, pointed out that abdominal pain can be a non-obvious sign of a heart attack. Among the signs she included nausea, increased fatigue, sudden shortness of breath, loss of consciousness, heart palpitations. She advised at the appearance of such symptoms immediately call an ambulance, writes RT.

Earlier, the website kp.ru with reference to the doctor Alexei Averyanov wrote that the disrupted diet, snacks on the go, replacing sandwiches with a full meal can lead to gastritis. This disease is one of the most common pathologies of the GI tract.
