What causes stomach pain in the middle of the night

Stomach pain refers to stomachache. The causes of stomachache waking up in the middle of the night include unreasonable diet, dyspepsia, gastric ulcer, etc. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Unreasonable diet

If the patient eats a lot of food before going to bed, it is easy to cause digestive burden, which will stimulate the smooth muscle contraction of the stomach, resulting in waking up in the middle of the night due to stomach pain.

2. Dyspepsia

If the patient has dyspepsia, it will affect the gastric emptying speed, causing food to stay in the stomach for too long, easy to ferment and generate gas, causing traction on the surrounding tissues, so the phenomenon of stomachache waking up when sleeping will occur.

3. Gastric ulcer

If the patient has gastric ulcer, it is easy to cause gastric mucosa damage. After the gastric mucosa damage is stimulated by gastric acid, it will cause stomach pain, so the patient will wake up in the middle of the night due to stomachache.
