Why do I feel a dull pain in my lower abdomen when I wake up in the morning?

In people's daily lives, many people experience a situation where they feel a dull pain in their lower abdomen when they wake up in the morning. There are many reasons for this situation. It may be caused by diseases in the gastrointestinal area, pain in the appendix or other internal organs, etc. Facing this situation, people need to pay special attention. Here is a detailed introduction to why you feel dull pain in your lower abdomen when you wake up in the morning.

Why do I have lower abdominal pain after waking up?

1. If you have stomach pain every morning when you wake up and it is relieved immediately after defecation without any other discomfort, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. The main reason is that the food residues from the day before are gradually pushed into the large intestine, and the pressure in the intestine continues to rise, causing abdominal pain. After defecation, the intestinal pressure decreases, so the pain is relieved.

2. If you have abdominal pain every morning when you wake up, the main cause is functional gastrointestinal disease, among which irritable bowel syndrome is the most common. Irritable bowel syndrome is a persistent or intermittent intestinal functional disorder with abdominal pain, bloating, changes in bowel habits and (or) stool characteristics as clinical manifestations, but lacks gastrointestinal structural and biochemical abnormalities.

3. If you have abdominal pain every morning and it is relieved after defecation, it may be caused by chronic enteritis. Patients with chronic enteritis mainly show long-term, chronic or recurrent abdominal pain, diarrhea and indigestion.

What to do if you have lower abdominal pain after waking up

1. When you wake up in the morning with a stomachache, we should check whether we have caught a cold while sleeping at night. If the pain is alone, we should go to the toilet and defecate directly. After defecation, everything will be fine. If you don’t have a bowel movement, drink some water and you will have a bowel movement.

2. If you have a stomachache right after waking up, you can drink some sugar water. We can use some water, cut the ginger into shreds, put it in the water, add an appropriate amount of brown sugar to the water, and boil some sugar water over high heat. This will also relieve the symptoms of stomachache. Drink it while it is hot.

When you have stomach pain, especially when you just wake up, don't rush to take medicine. Drink a glass of water first. If you feel stomach pain all over, you can take some medicine to regulate it. However, it is best not to take general medicine if you don't eat breakfast, as it will irritate the stomach.

Lower abdominal pain when you wake up in the morning may be a normal physiological phenomenon, or it may be a functional gastrointestinal disease. If these symptoms are not relieved in time, they may worsen and manifest as gastroenteritis and other symptoms. Therefore, everyone should pay more attention to solutions and understand some protective measures, including food hygiene, etc., to prevent abdominal pain from becoming more and more severe.
