Passionate about your health journey.
The small belly refers to the lower abdomen, which causes gas to pass when farting. Causes of dull pain on the left side of the lower abdomen and the urge to pass gas usually include abdominal cold, acute gastroenteritis, colitis, etc.
1. Abdominal cold
If the patient's abdomen is stimulated by cold, it causes vasoconstriction, slowing down blood circulation, causing pain, and affecting the normal function of abdominal organs, leading to intestinal dysfunction, and gas accumulating in the intestine, causing gas to pass.
2. Acute gastroenteritis
Patients with acute gastroenteritis are stimulated by inflammatory reactions, leading to local mucosal damage, causing pain on the left side, mainly dull pain, and reducing their digestive function, causing food to accumulate in the body for a long time, ferment into gas, and gas to pass.
3. Colitis
Patients with colitis are affected by inflammatory substances in the colon, resulting in mucosal congestion, edema, and dull pain. If not treated promptly, the condition may worsen, causing obvious colon damage, easy to cause gas accumulation, and cause gas to pass.
