What happens to stomachaches in the middle of the night?

Stomach pain in the middle of the night may be caused by factors such as abdominal cold, duodenal ulcer and gastroenteritis.

1. Abdominal cold

If the patient does not keep warm in the middle of the night, the abdominal cold will cause the stomach smooth muscle to suddenly contract strongly due to cold stimulation, resulting in pain symptoms.

2. Duodenal ulcer

If the patient has duodenal ulcer, there is no food in the stomach in the middle of the night, and excessive acid secretion stimulates the gastric mucosa, causing stomach pain symptoms. The pain gradually relieves after eating.

3. Gastroenteritis

Gastroenteritis is mainly caused by microbial infection, chemicals and drugs. Patients are prone to stomach pain symptoms.
