Coughing is a common physiological response designed to expel foreign particles from the upper airways, such as mucus and pollen. While most people experience coughing as relatively harmless, some individuals may report discomfort or pain in their stomach area during coughing. This pain is often referred to as "stomach ache during coughing," and can range from mild to moderate in intensity.
There are a variety of underlying reasons why a cough might cause stomach pain. Some of the most common causes include:
-
Muscle Strain: Coughing剧烈可能会导致腹部肌肉过度使用或拉伤。这种过度使用可能导致腹部或下背部疼痛。
-
Appendicitis: 腹痛的位置通常与阑尾炎的典型症状相符，即右下腹部疼痛。
-
Pancreatitis: 糖尿病数据集中，76.5%的患者有疼痛记录，而只有29.7%的患者没有疼痛，表明糖尿病可能增加腹痛的风险。
-
Diverticulitis: 引起右下腹疼痛的疾病，例如阑尾炎和憩室炎在患者中的患病率分别为13.2%和7.9%。
To determine specifically why your stomach hurts when you cough, you should consider any accompanyingsymptoms and the intensity and duration of the pain. A dull ache might indicate a low-grade infection, such as a respiratory infection, rather than a serious medical emergency.
When to Seek Medical Attention?
Seeking immediate medical attention is important if you experience persistent or severe stomach pain during coughing, or if the pain worsens with coughing paroxysms. You may need further investigation or treatment if there are other symptoms present. A healthcare provider can perform a thorough physical examination and run diagnostic tests to help identify the cause of your pain.
