Abdominal complaints

What are abdominal complaints

Abdominal pain is physical discomfort in and around the abdominal wall, trunk muscles and the structures behind them. The pain may feel superficial in the abdominal muscles or deeper and sometimes radiate to the back or ribs. We always look broadly at posture, breathing, load pattern and recovery. In doing so, we take into account differences in anatomy, for example in abdominal organs women and the influence of menstruation or pregnancy.

Symptoms of abdominal discomfort

• Abdominal pain when moving, lifting or twisting
• Bloated stomach and abdomen, a hard abdomen sore or nervous feeling in the abdomen
• Pain in upper abdomen, pain in upper right abdomen or lower left abdomen pain
• Tension on abdomen during stress, shallow breathing or hollow back with thick abdominal aura
• Pressure pain around scars after exploratory abdominal surgery or other procedure
• Unexplained bruises abdomen, palpable lumps or enlarged lymph nodes abdomen always deserve medical evaluation

Recognize these signs. Have your symptoms seriously assessed. Starting early speeds recovery.

Causes of abdominal discomfort

Abdominal pain often has several factors at once. Unfavorable posture, little variety and high breathing put extra stress on the abdominal wall. Overuse from sports or heavy work can cause the trunk muscles to protest. Scarring after keyhole surgery abdomen or cesarean section can limit the mobility of the skin and connective tissue. Sometimes there is an abdominal hernia or diastasis and support and activation of the deep trunk muscles plays a role. Medication, weight fluctuations and hormones affect the picture. Think tamoxifen thick abdomen or distended abdomen menstruation. Rarer causes such as abdominal inflammation, inflammation in abdomen, a tumor in abdomen symptoms or tumor in abdomen symptoms fall outside physical therapy and require family doctor care.
