What are the causes of stomach pain symptoms in children?

At present, many families have only one child. Many parents do not control their children's diet and let them eat high-calorie snacks at will. Over time, the child's stomach will always have some problems. Many children will have symptoms of stomach pain. So what are the causes of this disease? Let me introduce it to you, I hope you can gain something from it.

Stomach pain is a common symptom in children and can be seen in children of all ages. Babies cannot speak and can only express themselves through crying. There are many causes of stomach pain. Generally speaking, it can be divided into functional and organic. The so-called functional stomach pain refers to that all the structures of the stomach are normal, with no morphological changes and no pathological changes; the so-called organic gastric disease refers to gastric disease in the tissue structure of the stomach. According to relevant data analysis, among children with stomach pain, about 90% are functional, that is, they do not have stomach problems; only about 10% are organic, they do have stomach problems.

There are many causes and diseases that cause stomach pain symptoms, the main ones are as follows:

One is overeating

Generally speaking, children have poor self-control. For example, when a child sees delicious food, he will eat and drink a lot. If he eats too much in one meal and fills his stomach, the stomach will expand excessively and bloating and pain may occur.

Second, stomach cramps

On the contrary, some children do not want to eat or have not eaten, and their stomachs are empty, which may also cause stomach pain. The stomach pain at this time is because the stomach contracts faster and stronger and is in spasm. If the food you eat is too diverse, it increases the difficulty of digesting the food, so the stomach has to digest it faster, and the stomach may be overloaded and experience cramping pain.

Third, greed for raw and cold food

For example, if you eat raw or cold food or drink cold beverages on an empty stomach, especially in the hot summer, cold drinks will stimulate the motor nerve fibers of the stomach, increase gastric motility, stimulate the pain nerve fibers, and cause stomach pain.

Fourth, the disease of the stomach itself

If children usually suffer from gastritis, gastric ulcer, etc., they may also experience stomach pain.

Stomach problems are completely preventable, but we must start from daily life. It is important to let children develop good habits in diet and life. We must know that spoiling children is actually poisonous to children, and correct care is right. If your child already has stomach problems, it is more important to take care of his stomach in daily life and do not ignore it.
