Effect of temperature on the kidneys
The kidneys in our body are protected by many layers of tissue and are located far from the surface. Our body has a unique ability to maintain body temperature at the required level.
And when it drops by several degrees, obvious symptoms of hypothermia appear. It can manifest itself in both mild and severe forms: loss of coordination, increased heart rate, decreased reactions, coma.
Naturally, a person most likely will not continue to sit in the cold in this state. Our body can become hypothermic if we are naked in the cold after sleeping for several hours. But then, medical care will be needed not only for the kidneys, but also for the urinary system, first of all.
Passage of stone through the ureter into the bladder
Quite often, urolithiasis occurs without any symptoms, and a person does not even suspect the presence of kidney stones. In this case, the release of a stone from the renal pelvis and the process of its passage through the urinary tract will be an extremely unpleasant surprise.
A kidney stone, as a rule, has an uneven shape and surface, so it can easily injure the mucous membrane of the ureter or bladder. This situation is most likely to occur when passing through the ureter and through the thickness of the bladder wall (intramural part). It is in the intramural part that a sufficiently large stone can get stuck and completely disrupt the outflow of urine.
In this case, the woman feels severe pain in the lower abdomen, but gradually the intensity of the pain increases until it becomes unbearable; The antispasmodics taken do not bring much effect. The general condition usually does not change.
You should immediately contact an emergency clinic, since removing a stuck stone on your own is not always possible. In some cases, surgery is required to remove the stone.
Experiment in the USA
About 30 years ago, an experiment was conducted in America in which they studied how temperature affects the kidneys of rodents. The buds, when closed, were cooled to 30 degrees and heated to 40.
In reality, such an effect of temperatures in this form on the kidneys is almost impossible. But the functions and structure of organs changed more when heated, and low temperatures did not cause harm.
This means that we can conclude that low temperatures are not as terrible for the kidneys as they say, especially since it is impossible to cool the organs themselves in reality.
Isn't the cold so bad?
There are many reasons in our lives that affect kidney function. These include tumors, a huge number of modern medications, and changes in blood pressure. Cold cannot be such a factor.
But pyelonephritis (inflammation of the kidneys) appears mainly due to bacteria coming from the bladder, or when the urinary canal malfunctions.
An example would be stones in the ureter that interfere with the proper flow of urine. And this disease is much less common than cystitis or urethritis (inflammation of the genitourinary system), which a huge number of women have probably suffered.
Previously, we told you how you can do it without pills.

There is little to support this stereotype, but there is a lot of information on how to avoid this problem, the correspondent assures.
If you're a sensitive person, you might be better off reading something else. I'll understand.
But let no one say that in this column (“Medical Myths”) they are embarrassed to talk about inconvenient or unpleasant things when it is necessary to debunk another myth.
An example of our omnivorousness is this material dedicated to popular ideas about hemorrhoids.
Speaking about this problem, two things can be said with confidence.
Firstly, it is surprisingly widespread: as many as 50% of people will suffer from this disease at least once in their lives.
Secondly, the idea that the cause of hemorrhoids is sitting on a cold (and often wet) surface, upon closer examination turns out to be very far from the truth.
What are hemorrhoids?
Before we turn to studying the available data, it would be useful to explain what hemorrhoids actually are.
Hemorrhoids are itchy, bumpy nodules that form from the vascular plexuses located in the anus. Sometimes they feel like soft balls - some even compare them to a small bunch of grapes.
People with hemorrhoids may experience discomfort when sitting on hard surfaces - perhaps this is the reason for the myth about the dangers of exposure to cold.
But considering that one of the ways to relieve pain, especially with the development of blood clots in the blood vessels, is cold compresses, sitting on the cold may actually be useful.
The relationship between temperature and the development of hemorrhoids has been virtually unknown.
However, a 2009 study in Germany implicated sitting on cold surfaces as one of many factors that may contribute to the condition.
Scientists compared two groups of people: some experienced pain associated with prolapse and hardening of hemorrhoids, others did not.
A variety of experiments - from lifting weights to coughing, sneezing, eating spicy foods and using wet wipes for intimate hygiene - found no effect of any of the factors studied (even sitting on cold surfaces) on the likelihood of developing hemorrhoids.
(Research materials are posted in English, but keep in mind that they contain corresponding, rather frightening photographs).
Although hemorrhoids have nothing to do with sitting on cold or hot surfaces - and, apparently, with no other factor that the German scientists studied, at least one thing is clear.
More specifically, why this particular part of the body is susceptible to such a problem.
Weakness
General practitioner Anne Robinson explains: “It’s just one of the body’s weak points.” The reason is that three different venous systems connect in the anus.
Slightly distending these veins can be beneficial as it helps dilate the corpora cavernosa and prevents stool incontinence.
However, their excessive swelling leads to veins bulging into the anus, which causes discomfort and pain.
Bleeding is also possible. If they occur, you should undergo a medical examination, since bleeding can also be a symptom of bowel cancer.
Anything that causes a rush of blood to the pelvic organs (for example, pregnancy) complicates the course of hemorrhoids. Constipation puts pressure on the veins and forces a person to push so hard that hemorrhoids can fall out and cause pain, including severe pain.
But it is not all that bad. There is information about how to prevent this disease from occurring.
German scientists have found that those who often shower or bathe develop hemorrhoids less often, and those who strain heavily during bowel movements, on the contrary, are at increased risk.
To prevent hemorrhoids, everything that prevents constipation is useful - foods high in fiber (vegetables, grains and nuts), exercise to maintain a normal weight and drinking plenty of fluids.
In addition, it is important not to restrain the corresponding urges, but to immediately go to the toilet. By the way, I hope you are not reading this article while sitting on the toilet.
Research shows that people who read on the toilet spend more time there than necessary and, as a result, push unnecessarily.

Coldness in the stomach during pregnancy
During pregnancy, a woman spends a lot of time on her belly. And this is not surprising, because every mother wants her baby to be born healthy. Therefore, the question often arises: why do pregnant women have a cold stomach?
Doctors say that a woman's stomach is always cooler than other parts of the body. This process is determined by the fact that the greatest accumulation of fat occurs in this area. It is a kind of isolation.
It is believed that the longer the pregnancy, the larger the belly. And the size of the fetus and the amount of amniotic fluid do not always play a role. The skin begins to stretch along with small capillaries, as a result of which the blood supply process slows down.
Because of this, stretch marks and scars appear, which are similar to traces of varicose veins. Due to slow blood flow, the skin becomes cold. This should not worry the expectant mother, because the baby is not in danger.
But by the density and condition of the abdomen, one can recognize the tone of the uterine cavity. It begins to shrink from the first weeks of pregnancy. But from the 1st to the 3rd trimester, a woman should not feel pain or other discomfort. If the uterine cavity becomes stone-like, then there is a threat to the life of the unborn child. Increased tone is dangerous for women in the 1st and 2nd trimester of pregnancy.
A feeling of coldness in the right side of the abdomen may be due to appendicitis or indigestion. Then the pregnant woman complains of strong passing of gas, abnormal bowel movements and changes in general well-being.
If an ectopic pregnancy has developed, the painful sensations are one-sided and sharp. In this case, bleeding from the vagina is observed. In such cases, you need to urgently call an ambulance, otherwise the woman faces death.
Why girls can't sit in the cold
Adults are especially concerned about the autumn period, when summer is still in their minds, and there is already a noticeable drop in temperature outside. As everyone knows, in the disgusting October weather, flaunt in patent leather shoes and thin tights. If the mini closes this parade, then it becomes clear that the girl has never been to a doctor’s appointment. Sometimes this happens, but extremely rarely. After such a parade, in 90% of cases there is a reckoning. I showed off during the day, but at night I started having frequent and very painful visits to the toilet. For those who are not friends with their heads, this is called acute cystitis. If you don’t immediately pay attention to this and consult a doctor, you can safely wait for a temperature of +40 and emergency hospitalization. Kidney inflammation is not something to joke about. Diseases of this kind often affect the reproductive system and can cause serious kidney problems during a future pregnancy. This is called hypothermia, so women are advised that in this case, and during menstruation, they should not swim in cold water, as all this leads to serious consequences in the future.
Young fashionistas are constantly told that if she wants to complicate her life, then all she has to do is walk around all day in unseasonable shoes, especially in wet and cool weather, and troubles in the genitourinary area are guaranteed.
Sitting in the cold is generally not recommended for everyone, especially for girls. Here is a direct road to adnexitis - inflammation of the ovaries and a full basket of diseases associated with pelvic hypothermia. Therefore, it is important that with the onset of cold weather, girls begin to wear something long - a raincoat, a coat, a long sheepskin coat in winter.
In general, diseases caused by hypothermia of the pelvic organs are not something to joke about. Cystitis alone is worth it. According to medical observations, more than 98% of women have had cystitis. Characteristic signs of cystitis are frequent and painful urination, incontinence, lower back pain, and high fever. The result is ascending inflammation of the kidneys, problems with pregnancy, and the inability to get pregnant at all.
Girls! You need to know that if fashion comes first and a short jacket and top are more important than your own health and future as a woman, then the body itself will begin to insulate itself, increasing the fat layer in unprotected places.

Most women in the post-Soviet space
The phrase “Don’t sit on a rock, you’ll freeze your kidneys” is familiar, which was said first by grandmothers and mothers, and then by teachers and even strangers in the park or on the street. We talked to a doctor - urologist and urogynecologist Alexey Tolmachev and tried to figure out where kidney and bladder diseases come from and whether they are related to the fact that someone sits on cool steps.
Sharp pain in the lower abdomen on the right with acute appendicitis, causes, description
In acute appendicitis, the finger-shaped branch of the cecum becomes inflamed and causes severe pain. In the case of standard acute appendicitis, painful manifestations are observed in the middle of the abdomen and after a certain period of time (up to a maximum of 24 hours) moves lower and to the right. It sometimes strengthens and sometimes weakens, but once it appears, it will not disappear. As a rule, the pain syndrome becomes stronger when coughing and when walking, and weakens when lying on the right side. Nausea, vomiting (mostly one-time), loose stools (rarely) may also be observed. Inflammation of the appendix is characterized by mild chills and fever. If the diagnosis is confirmed, it is necessary to carry out surgery as soon as possible and remove the inflamed appendage of the cecum. Delay in action threatens the patient with very serious complications in the form of rupture or gangrene of the inflamed appendix, as well as the possible development of peritonitis in the future.
Can kidneys “freeze”?
The buds are located quite far from the surface, under several layers of tissue. The temperature inside the human body is maintained at an optimal level, and when it decreases even by a couple of degrees, pronounced and unpleasant symptoms of hypothermia occur: from increased heart rate and slight loss of coordination to decreased reflexes and coma. It is clear that in such a state a person is unlikely to continue to sit on the stone floor and continue to do what he was doing - and vice versa, female students rereading lectures in a clear mind while sitting on the steps are not in danger of hypothermia. Internal organs can cool down if a person has slept for several hours in the cold without clothes - and then medical attention will most likely be required not only for the urinary system.
Back in 1988, a study was conducted in Minnesota on the effect of extreme temperatures on the kidneys of rats: isolated kidneys were heated to 41 degrees and cooled to 30. Even in this form, far from the possible effects of temperature in reality, the structure and function of the kidneys were much more impaired when heated; the low temperature caused virtually no harm. That is, we can assume that the cold is not as bad for the kidneys as is commonly believed, especially since it is almost impossible to truly reduce their temperature.
In general, it is well known what factors affect kidney function: among them are taking various medications, tumor processes, increased blood pressure and others, but cold is not one of them. Inflammation of the kidneys - pyelonephritis - can develop either when bacteria enter them (from the bottom up, from the bladder), or when the outflow of urine is disrupted, for example, by a stone stuck in the cavity of the ureter. This is not such a common disease, unlike inflammation of the bladder (cystitis) or urethra (urethritis), which every fifth woman in the world has encountered at least once in her life.
Ectopic (tubal) pregnancy
It is observed if the lumen of the fallopian tube is significantly narrowed along its entire length or in a certain area. The fertilized egg (fertilized egg) cannot pass through the tube into the uterine cavity and implant there in the endometrium. The fertilized egg is implanted into the mucous membrane of the fallopian tube and the subsequent development of pregnancy. As the fertilized egg gradually increases in size, the tube also increases in size, but its adaptive capabilities are not unlimited. At a certain stage, a rupture of the wall of the fallopian tube occurs with the development of bleeding and, of course, termination of pregnancy.
Can cystitis develop from cold?
No, he can not; Cystitis in the vast majority of cases is caused by a bacterial infection. Most often, E. coli enters the bladder, but sometimes other bacteria are also the cause; in this case, we are usually talking about microbes that normally inhabit the human body, and not about exotic infections. The urinary tract is normally sterile, and if bacteria enter it, for example from the intestines or from the surface of the skin, inflammation can develop. Of course, there are also cases when cystitis is caused by a fungal infection or specific sexually transmitted diseases.
Most often, microbes enter the urethra, from which they then rise to the bladder, due to problems with personal hygiene or during sex - in the latter case, we can talk about the microbial flora of both the woman herself and her partner. In women, the urethra is short, wide and located near the vestibule of the vagina - and this anatomy, unfortunately, facilitates infections. Sometimes acute cystitis occurs after a change of partner - this is how the urethra can react to a new, unusual microflora.
Cystitis can also be non-infectious; It can be caused by certain medications, radiation, or an allergy to spermicides or bubble baths. It happens that inflammation is caused by injury - for example, after inserting a catheter into the bladder. There are certain factors that increase the risk: sexual activity, anatomical congenital anomalies, pregnancy and menopause (due to hormonal changes), and urinary retention. At the same time, cold exposure is neither a cause nor a risk factor for cystitis and urethritis.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a disease that occurs in more mature women, after 35 years. However, this diagnosis can also be found in young girls. The disease is quite difficult to cure. However, if you consult a specialist in a timely manner, therapy can have a positive effect. At the initial stage of the disease, a woman may not feel any symptoms. With advanced endometriosis, the pain is severe and cramping in nature.
Mostly pain is concentrated throughout the lumbar and lower abdomen. With such a diagnosis, the most dangerous thing is not the diagnosis itself, but its possible consequences. It can cause infertility in a woman or even termination of pregnancy (miscarriage). Endometriosis is mainly treated through surgery.
For women suffering from this disease, there are many negative aspects:
To eliminate pain, a woman can take painkillers. However, you should not put off going to the gynecologist. At the most advanced stage of endometriosis, the patient’s reproductive organs – the ovaries, appendages and the uterus itself – are surgically removed.
Then why does this happen after swimming in cold water?
And yet it happens that it is after exposure to cold that a person notices the typical symptoms of cystitis: pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen, pain when urinating, frequent urge to go to the toilet, sometimes even blood in the urine or an increase in temperature. In this case, we may be talking about an exacerbation of chronic cystitis - and its cause is an infection that was once untreated. There is no definitive evidence that cold can trigger an exacerbation: one experiment found a link between hypothermia in the legs and the onset of symptoms of cystitis, but the design of this study is questionable, if only because of the very low number of participants.
It is quite possible that in many cases, sitting in the cold or swimming becomes only a mental reference point and cystitis would have arisen or worsened in any case, but it is remembered precisely as something that happened after exposure to cold. You need to understand that very often “after” does not mean “because of”. Don't blame yourself for being undisciplined; It’s better to see a doctor as soon as possible, get examined and figure out the best treatment option.
Folk remedies to help
There are a lot of pharmaceutical drugs that effectively relieve pain. As a rule, these are antacids and coating medications. They completely cope with even the most acute pain and effectively reduce irritation of the stomach walls. You can take drugs such as Almagel, Phosphalugel, Maalox.
If stomach pain is periodic and is not accompanied by additional ailments, for example, chills, vomiting or a sharp increase in temperature, then folk remedies are ready to help.
Important! It is imperative to consult a doctor, as self-medication can lead to unpredictable consequences.
In addition to diet, in some cases medications are prescribed. For example, in case of a peptic ulcer, the use of analgesics is mandatory; if you refuse them, a painful shock may occur.
During an attack of an ulcer, you can take Maalox or its analogues. It gently coats the stomach and reduces acidity. But the drug has side effects. Therefore, it should not be used often. You can use it once to relieve pain before the doctor arrives.
Ranitidine is also used for stomach ulcers. But the pharmacy won’t just give it to you. The drug is very dangerous and should not be taken without a doctor's prescription. If the pain is aching in nature, No-shpa will help in this case. Adults can take 2 tablets at a time. No-spa does not always help, only with aching and antispasmodic pain.
What to do and how to treat?
For acute cystitis, a broad-spectrum antibiotic is usually prescribed, it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids and avoid sex until the inflammation goes away - this treatment can be prescribed by a general practitioner. If cystitis recurs frequently, it is better to consult a urologist for additional examinations - for example, using ultrasound or cystoscopy (examination of the bladder using a special device). For chronic cystitis, longer treatment may be prescribed; The doctor may also recommend taking an over-the-counter antibiotic on your own in case of an exacerbation, so as not to run to the clinic every time.
It wouldn't hurt to consult a gynecologist: it's possible that cystitis often gets worse due to the specific position or increased mobility of the urethra. During pregnancy, the risk of urethritis and cystitis is increased due to changes in hormonal status, and women prone to these infections should pay special attention to personal hygiene and use condoms. But you don’t have to worry about sitting in the cold—claims about its dangers are exaggerated.
Anatomically, the prostate gland is well protected by muscle tissue. Despite this, it is quite easy to catch a cold just by freezing in the cold or standing under the air conditioner.
Men's health must be protected. The unpleasant consequences of a cold can manifest themselves for many years, and in severe cases can cause infertility and potency.
The symptoms of a prostate cold in men are pronounced, which allows you to make a diagnosis even on your own. If violations occur, you should immediately seek qualified medical help. A cold creates the preconditions for the onset of acute inflammation and infection of the gland. In the early stages it is easy to prevent the development of complications.
Cutting pain in the lower abdomen on the left or right during pregnancy, what are the causes?
There are many reasons for pain in the lower abdomen during pregnancy. Let's look at the most common of them.
1 Uterine tone. It is accompanied by aching pain in the lower abdominal cavity, but the appearance of periodic or constant pain cannot be ruled out. The last symptom occurs in the case of increased uterine tone.
2 Ectopic pregnancy. In most cases, it manifests itself through sharp pain that appears during the first eight weeks of pregnancy. This pathology is excluded by performing an ultrasound examination in the early stages of gestation. This also avoids unwanted pain.
3 Placental abruption. Characterized by sharp, severe pain. In most cases, it occurs due to abdominal trauma, arterial hypertension (high blood pressure) or severe gestosis.
4 Threat of miscarriage. The main symptoms of the disorder are cramping, nagging pain, sometimes turning into sharp pain.
Painful symptoms in pregnant women, except for the cases described, often occur as a result of malfunctions in the functioning of the digestive system; sprains of the ligaments that support organs in the abdomen due to an increase in the size and weight of the fetus; inflammatory processes in internal organs; reactions to stressful situations. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, the detection of any disturbances in the functioning of the body, accompanied by discomfort and pain in the abdomen, especially those supplemented by other symptoms, requires consultation with a qualified medical professional. Self-medication in such cases is quite dangerous.
How can you get a cold in your prostate?
A gland is an internal organ surrounded by muscle tissue.
The body as a whole has taken good care of protection from hypothermia. Under normal conditions, catching a cold in the prostate is problematic. The catalyst is always pathological changes and disorders: stress, bad habits, diet, injuries, deteriorated blood supply. Against this background, natural barriers become worse and can no longer cope with protecting the prostate. For the reasons listed above, the situation when a man has a cold in the prostate gland after 40 years of age is diagnosed more often than at a young age. The main factors in the development of disorders remain:
Even sitting on a cold floor or damp ground can cause inflammation of the prostate gland. The prostate gland is located in close proximity to the perineum. Therefore, simply sitting in a cold place, especially if there are other prerequisites (described above), it is easy to chill the internal organ and provoke acute inflammation of the gland.
Signs of a cold prostate
Symptoms of disorders are expressed differently for everyone.
The intensity of the manifestations varies: from slight discomfort to severe pain, swelling and increased body temperature. The main symptoms of prostate hypothermia:
- Frequent urge to urinate is a common symptom. Particular attention should be paid to increasing night trips to the toilet.
- Decreased erection - occurs during friction during sexual intercourse. Ejaculation is painful, orgasm is achieved quickly or, conversely, slowly.
- Discomfort in the pelvic area - there are no nerve endings in the gland, so it is not the prostate that hurts, but the tissues surrounding it. The syndrome often indicates the appearance of swelling and inflammation. Pain sensations are localized in the perineum, lower abdomen and anus.
Several factors influence the intensity of symptoms. Some men experience mild discomfort, while others have to take painkillers and antispasmodics to cope with the symptoms of a cold.
Consequences of prostate hypothermia
If a man has a cold in the prostate gland and timely assistance is provided, then the condition does not pose a danger. Problems arise when complications arise. The consequences of pathology in this case are:
- Acute prostatitis develops quickly and is characterized by pronounced symptoms. The prognosis depends on the catalyst for inflammation. Infectious prostatitis leads to the formation of abscesses and spreads to adjacent organs of the genitourinary system. There is a high probability of infection of the partner.
- Chronic prostatitis - the acute stage quickly turns into a latent form. There are no obvious symptoms. The pathology continues to progress. As a result of the disease, the basic functions of the gland are disrupted, infertility, potency, dysuric disorders and problems with defecation develop.
- Prostate cancer - some forms of chronic inflammation later develop into cancer.
The main problem of a cold prostate gland is that at this moment the prerequisites are created for the onset of the inflammatory process and the development of infection in the tissues. At this point, the prostate becomes open to infection and cannot resist pathogens and pathogens.
Causes of stomach pain and nature of manifestation
Symptoms vary from person to person, but common signs of stomach illness include:
- pain in the upper abdomen;
- spasms due to which the patient cannot straighten up;
- stomach discomfort;
- urge to vomit;
- pain when pressing on the stomach.
Symptoms of the disease may manifest themselves in other ways, but in general they all affect the secretory function and digestive tract. Loss of appetite, heartburn, bitterness in the mouth are also common symptoms of stomach problems.
In most cases, pain when pressing on the stomach, as well as stomach cramps, occur in adults, but sometimes similar symptoms are observed in children, especially if the child has been hungry all day.
As for the reason why pain appears in the upper abdomen, directly in the stomach area, today doctors cannot accurately name it. As a certain impetus for the development of pain when pressing, one can note constant stress, malnutrition, abuse of fatty foods, and another reason may be an incorrect diet.
Excessive caffeine consumption plays a crucial role in the development of stomach colic. There is probably no point in talking about the dangers of alcohol, since its negative effects on all organs and systems have long been known.
The temptation to ignore the pain of hunger is extremely great, because it is usually suppressed by a light snack - cookies, crackers, crust of bread. It would seem that this is not a particularly terrible problem - the stomach is constantly asking for food... However, be careful.
Discomfort of this nature may indicate that your old habitual gastritis has turned into an insidious stomach ulcer or has been supplemented by a duodenal ulcer.
Hunger pain with gastritis on an empty stomach as a sign of a pre-ulcerative condition
Fasting pain that accompanies the feeling of hunger is characteristic of advanced focal inflammation. In other words, the symptom often signals significant local damage to the mucosa.
It may hurt in the pit of the stomach or just below. The most appropriate description of the pain is “as if sucking hard.” Pressing your finger on the said area feels very unpleasant.
A typical picture of a pre-ulcerative condition is observed with severe erosive gastritis. You can read more about it in a separate article; here we will only recall its typical causes.
Characteristic pre-ulcerative symptoms are often observed in the case of erosive duodenitis.
Pain signaling an ulcer
A gastric ulcer makes itself felt half an hour to an hour after eating, an intestinal ulcer - after a couple of hours. It happens that the pain begins at night, when a person has already fallen asleep. He has to get up and eat something. Such pain greatly interferes with a full, healthy night's rest.
How to determine a cold gland
Statistics show that most men simply ignore signs of inflammation that indicate disorders of the genitourinary system.
People turn to a urologist when the problem has become serious and prostatitis has developed in acute or chronic form. To prevent this, you should be attentive to the signs given by the body and promptly seek advice from a doctor. The first signs of a cold appear in pain and frequent urination. At this moment the man experiences discomfort. Based on the manifestations and intensity of pain, one can guess the presence of disorders.
If you suspect a cold, you should immediately consult a urologist. It is difficult to make an accurate diagnosis on your own. At a medical institution, a urologist will perform rectal palpation, prescribe an ultrasound examination and clinical tests of urine and blood. Based on the results, differential diagnosis will be carried out.
Diagnosis of the disease
In order to accurately diagnose, it is necessary to understand how the stomach hurts and whether there is bitterness in the mouth. Based on the intensity of the pain and its nature of manifestation, a diagnosis can be assumed already during the initial examination.
If the pain is dull, then this indicates the development of a peptic ulcer or chronic stomach dysfunction. Sometimes the patient does not pay attention to such stomach pain, which further aggravates the situation.
With cancerous tumors and diseases of the duodenum, the pain becomes pronounced. In the case of a performative ulcer, the pain in the stomach is so severe that the person may lose consciousness, receiving a painful shock.
