Constantly sucks stomach

1 The essence of the pathology

What is it? After eating, the activity of the stomach is altered, reductions and movement of food residues along the digestive tract occur. This stage lasts about 1-2 hours. Then there are muscle contractions, reaching its peak activity in the stomach and spreading to the intestinal tube. As a result, MMK is the very feeling that people call "sucking in the pit of a stomach".

After that, motor activity decreases. After long hours of fasting, about a day or more, the contractile processes are reduced by 70%.Do not confuse MMK with hungry pains. The feeling of emptiness in the stomach disappears by itself in a few minutes.

Abbreviations caused by hunger are often found in a young organism with a reduced sugar content in the blood. Especially in those who do not comply with the diet and who have time between meals is 12 hours or more.

In people with signs of peptic ulcer, the sensations differ somewhat from healthy ones. For example, after 5-6 hours after eating a stomach, pain begins in the solar plexus area, and they stop only after the person again eats. This process occurs with very painful symptoms:

1. Pale skin.
2. Speaker sweat.
3. Slow pulse.

There are several types of ulcers, by which you can determine in which area of ​​the digestive tract there are problems. If the ulcer is caused by the stomach, the pain occurs an hour after eating and lasts about 2-3 hours, gradually disappearing on its own. Late pains - when to suck the stomach starts at night or 2 hours after eating, if it is associated with the duodenum.

Increased hunger at night is most often associated with hormonal failures in the body, for example, there is a change in the level of leptin. Temporary sucking of the stomach, passing in just 5 minutes, is not a hunger, there is nothing terrible in this.

If the pain lasts more than 10 minutes, it is most likely related to stress, and not to digestion. Do not immediately run to the refrigerator, try to be less nervous or drink green tea, and the feeling will pass and become easier.

Severe pain occurring after 5-6 hours is a symptom of gastritis or even peptic ulcer. It is better not to delay with the treatment of these diseases and to consult a doctor in a timely manner.

If sucking at the bottom of the spoon at night, this is due to imbalance of hormones, satiety and hunger. Again, it is better to contact specialists. If stomach sucking is associated with experiences, the gastroenterologist can not help you in anything. In this situation, a psychotherapist prescribes appropriate treatment. The main thing is not to start the disease in a chronic form and start treatment in time.

2 First aid

Usually treatment consists of diet, adherence to diet and daily routine, as well as sports, walking in the fresh air, cycling, swimming in the pool.

In general, it is necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a lot of positive emotions and reduce stress.

In exceptional cases, drugs are prescribed. A banal, but effective solution is the intake of valerian or elecampane. Valerian perfectly copes with stress, restoring lost appetite. Devyasil eliminates painful stomach cramps.

Traditional medicine did not ignore this problem. Decoctions and tinctures of St. John's wort, the leaves of plantain soothe the digestive tract. Temporarily remove the unpleasant sensation of a cucumber juice or a glass of warm milk.

You can apply a hot compress to your stomach. To do this, the cloth is moistened in hot water, squeezed and put on a painful area, and top covered with cellophane, comes out a kind of hot water bottle.

Temporary withdrawal of painful symptoms is not a solution. The causes of the disease must be eliminated in the bud, and not postpone the visit to the doctor for later. Timeliness is the solution of many problems.
