Stomach flu : Your stomach may hurt before each episode of vomiting or diarrhea. Severe Stomach Pain In serious cases, the stomach pain gets worse or becomes constant. This may be an indication of a more severe condition, such as: Appendicitis : This happens when the appendix, which is part of the large intestine, becomes infected and inflamed.
If the appendix ruptures, it can become life-threatening. Surgery to remove the appendix, an appendectomy, is the usual treatment. Stomach peptic ulcers : Crater-like sores in the lining of the stomach and small intestine. These can bleed or burst and be life-threatening if not treated. Medication to reduce your stomach acid can help treat them. Gallstones : Hard stones, made up of cholesterol and other materials, that form in the gallbladder, which is just below the liver.
They can cause inflammation of the gallbladder, which can lead to inflammation — known as acute cholecystitis. Treatment for these problems includes removal of the gallbladder. Kidney stones : Crystals of varying sizes that form in your urine and build up in your kidneys. The pain can be severe. You can pass some on your own through urination, or doctors may remove them surgically.
Inflammatory bowel disease IBD : A chronic inflammation in the digestive tract that can cause severe abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and rectal bleeding. Pancreatitis : The pancreas produces insulin and glucagon — the two hormones that manage how your body processes sugar — and aids in digestion.
Inflammation of the pancreas is called pancreatitis, which can affect its performance and cause severe stomach pain.
