Spasms in the intestine can occur for various reasons. This symptom at least once in a lifetime disturbs every person. Naturally, there are explanations for this. Wrong food, surgery, taking medications and diseases of the digestive tract - all this leads to spasms in the stomach.
ICD-10 code
Absolutely, any industry has its own standards and systems of definitions. In medicine, this also exists. Each disease is categorized and classified. So, there is an international classification of diseases. Sometimes doctors on the medical map indicate the disease code, not its name. Therefore, some knowledge in this area is useful.
Bowel problems were classified in group K (K55-K63). To 55 - includes vascular bowel diseases. K56-obstruction. To 57-diverticular lesion. To 58 - irritable bowel syndrome. K 59 - other violations of the functions of the body. K 60 - cracks and fistulas located in the anus. To 61 - the abscess formed in the field of an anus. To 62 - other ailments of the anus. To 63 - other intestinal diseases.
Having some idea of the codes, you can independently read the doctor's conclusions, if instead of a verbal explanation there is indicated a classification.
Causes of spasms in the intestine
To date, there is no precise data on the development of the disease. After all, it can arise even as a result of poor quality food. Many researchers believe that they cause the problem of physical and mental health disorders. Despite this, several main factors have been identified.
The first reason is connected with the brain. It is he who controls the work of the intestines. Violation of the signal from one organ to another can lead to persistent pain.
Violation of the organ's motility often contributes to the appearance of failures. Fast work leads to the appearance of diarrhea, inhibited - constipation. As a result of muscle contraction, pain is observed.
Hypersensitivity. People who have a low threshold of sensitivity, constantly suffer from gas, discomfort. Psychological violations of any type lead to disruption of the body and the appearance of pain.
Bacterial gastroenteritis. Some people suffering from this disease, note unpleasant pain. This is due to the problematic work of the intestine.
Dysbiosis. Rapid development of bacteria in the small intestine provokes flatulence, diarrhea, spasms. Heredity plays an important role. Naturally, food contributes to its contribution. The amount of food eaten and its quality fully affect not only the work of the stomach, but also the intestines. Provoke discomfort is capable of alcohol, chocolate, chips, fizzy drinks.
Duodenitis. This problem affects the duodenum. As a result, there are unpleasant pain. Chronic enteritis is characterized by an inflammatory process in the mucous membrane of the body. It manifests a sharp, unpleasant pain. Chronic colitis is an inflammatory process of the colon mucosa. Call sharp spasm can acute appendicitis. Acute intestinal obstruction, strangulated hernia and even hepatic colic all this leads to spasms of the intestine. Constant pain can mean the presence of a tumor.

Spasms in the intestine after surgery
This phenomenon arises because of the formation of adhesions. Bonding of loops in the organ completely change its movement. In some cases, it completely stops. Identify the presence of adhesions is not so difficult. If a person has recently undergone surgery, then it will pierce the pain in the intestines. They have a cramping character. Their strengthening is observed after physical labor.
Often develop symptoms such as constipation, nausea and vomiting. There is an unpleasant swelling after eating. The most dangerous symptom of adhesions is obstruction. If the disease is chronic, then the person significantly loses weight.
Spikes completely block the work of the organ. A person is being tormented by severe pains. Unfortunately, the problem by itself will not be eliminated. Therefore, after the operation, another surgical procedure is performed after a time, to remove the adhesions themselves.
They are formed because of the impact on the body of external factors. They perform a certain protective function. They develop on the background of carrying out operations in the abdominal cavity or as a result of trauma. This is due to air, as well as talc being on surgical gloves. In addition, other foreign bodies can enter the "wound" during the operation. Therefore, in fact, to prevent the appearance of adhesions is not so simple.
Pathogenesis
The pathogenesis of this phenomenon is very complex. In most cases, acute pain can be associated with stretching of the intestinal loops. But it is possible to develop a symptom as a result of strong irritation of nerve endings in the intestinal wall. The leading role in this process is the violation of intestinal motility.
If the organ is obstructed, painful sensations are associated with increased peristalsis. If the problem has arisen against colitis or enterocolitis, then everything depends on the presence of an inflammatory process. Under acute pain, a number of serious diseases can disappear. Many of them are eliminated exclusively by operational means.
Spasmodic pains occur against the background of many ailments of the intestine. Therefore, the correct definition of the cause is half the case. Many diseases can contribute to the development of the problem. Without qualitative diagnosis, understand why the stomach is hurting is very difficult. Pathogenesis is in fact complicated and requires investigation by leading specialists.
Symptoms of spasms in the intestine
The problem can manifest itself not only with painful sensations of a different type. For this ailment is characterized by the appearance of pain in the navel area, accompanied by all the severity in the stomach. In addition, there is a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen. Diarrhea, constipation and flatulence are common. These three attributes are among the leading. They accompany almost any pathological process in the digestive organs. Naturally, diarrhea alternates with constipation.
Often there is eructation of air, nausea and vomiting. In some cases, when the situation is really severe, it causes a headache, cold sweat and chills. If the spasmodic condition was provoked by acute obstruction, the symptomatology is amplified instantly and manifests itself in full. Particular danger in this case is a period of calm, when a person becomes easier. This may indicate a loss of sensitivity and the death of important receptors. Therefore, when there is a special symptomatology is to seek help immediately.
Spasms and pains in the intestines
Any violations can be explained by the individual characteristics of the patient's body. So, problems with the intestines most often occur in too emotional people. Even ordinary fear and joy can lead to increased body work. People entering the risk zone are constantly under the influence of stress, as well as individuals with unstable psyche.
A special role is played by nutrition. The violation of food intake, snacks on the go and poor-quality products significantly affect the body as a whole. Naturally, the gastrointestinal tract suffers most of all. Lack of fiber in food, lack of movement, as well as gynecological disorders in women, carry a particular danger. Hormonal failures, the presence of diabetes and acute infections lead to truly serious problems.
All the factors described above can cause pain in the navel, spasmodic conditions, nausea and vomiting. Basically, this leads to irritable bowel syndrome. It is important to eat properly and monitor the intake of medications. This will reduce the discomfort. If they do not disappear, it is necessary to conduct a survey.
Severe spasms in the intestine
The main signs of problems can serve as interesting preferences in food and wrong reception. The only exception is the presence of problems. Among them are inflammatory processes. In this case, a strong pain syndrome occurs after eating. Spasms may occur during the defecation process or alternatively disappear.
Pain syndrome can be aching or cramping. And there is all the attacks. Sometimes they get worse, even during a cough. This symptomatology is typical for inflammatory processes. Acute spasms indicate inflammation of the sigmoid colon. Spasms in the navel area may indicate inflammation of the small intestine. If they are observed in the perineal region, cancer, inflammation of the rectum is possible. At the heart of such a syndrome was always the obstruction of the intestines. If the problem is caused by an expansion of the intestine due to gases, then the spasms have an exact localization, duration and gradualness.
If the case is obstruction, the pain syndrome is permanent. Sometimes the place of localization changes. Basically, spasms are characteristic of the area around the navel.
Spasms in the intestines and diarrhea
The doctors identified several main reasons for the appearance of this problem. They are based on improper diet. Even poorly chewed food can lead to frustration. Frequent snacks, food on the go - lead to an imbalance in the body.
All this entails the development of flatulence, changes in microflora and the appearance of infections. They are able to grow up because of the reception of expired products. Even increased nervousness can lead to frustration. People with heightened emotionality are most often affected by the problem.
Heavy metals salts can cause a problem. Spasms provoke lead salts. They can penetrate into the body directly when working with them. Often, helminthiasis causes a number of unpleasant symptoms. The cold can affect the digestive system. For this state of nature, vomiting, spasms. During pregnancy, this symptom is provoked by the rapid growth of the fetus.
In fact, there are a lot of reasons. Yes, and the symptomatology is diverse. The problem manifests itself not only spasms and diarrhea, but also nausea, vomiting. To prevent dehydration of the body is to report the problem to a specialist.
Spasms in the intestines after eating
This problem can arise for a number of reasons. The most common of these is the presence of gastritis. And he can have both acute and chronic form. Similar symptomatology has ulcers of the stomach or duodenum. Provoke everything is capable of inflammation of the pancreas.
With exacerbation of gastritis, painful sensations are concentrated in the abdomen. Each form of the disease has its own special manifestations. Acute gastritis develops against the background of strong irritants, which adversely affect the mucous membrane. Because of this, a rapid inflammatory process develops. Chronic form is dangerous because for a long time does not show itself at all. It is only necessary to eat something sharp or otherwise cause irritation, as symptomatology occurs instantly.
In acute form of pain can be either on a hungry or full stomach. The pain syndrome is changeable. During a meal, nausea may occur. It is accompanied by all weakness. It is possible for dizziness, excessive sweating.
Chronic form is characterized by a decrease in acidity. Rumbling in the stomach may occur, the pain appears after eating. There is an eructation of air, bloating, nausea and other unpleasant symptoms. The problem needs to be eliminated. After all, the symptomatology can manifest itself at any time, and in general it interferes with normal life.
Swelling and spasms in the intestine
It may even occur in a healthy person. Gives accumulated in the intestines can lead to the development of the problem. Usually they arise in connection with the use of incompatible products. The process of fermentation and rumbling - the effects of carbonated drinks.
To provoke the problem is the elimination of heartburn with the help of soda. This causes a natural chemical reaction and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide. Often the problem is related to the love of food, this applies to people who eat a lot and constantly overeat. Abuse of fatty foods leads to heaviness and swelling. Symptom may occur due to constipation. He, in turn, provokes the appearance of flatulence. The abdomen is strained, the skin can change the shade.
Another reason for the development of the problem lies in food allergy. It develops against the background of food allergens. Provoke allergies can orange, lemon, mandarin, sweet, honey and spices. These foods cause digestive disorders.
Stunting of stool often leads to excessive swelling and flatulence. Strengthen this condition can be due to the use of legumes, fresh fruits and some vegetables. In general, there can be very many reasons. Naturally, they are all related to the organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
Spasm in the intestines of a child
This problem in children occurs quite often. And it carries a different degree of severity. If the colic is weak, the baby is a bit naughty. It is enough to take him in his arms, as he will calm down. With a strong manifestation, nothing helps, except for medications.
Many mothers note the fact that the problem occurs after a child's eating or nervous. Everything is clear with food. It's enough just to eat quickly or swallow air. As for the nervous state, the problem almost never troubles the little ones who are constantly next to their mother. She protects her child and always keeps him in her arms. Therefore, the children are extremely calm. It is necessary to prevent possible stressful situations and constantly watch the baby.
As for children of an older age, the problem arises solely against the background of malnutrition. It is necessary to adjust the dosage and remove products that cause excessive gas generation. It really can save the situation. The developing organism of the child negatively affects many stimuli, so periodic problems from the gastrointestinal tract are the norm.
Spasms in the intestines during pregnancy
The reason for this phenomenon lies in the migration of the egg into the uterus. Literally a few days after conception, spasms in the intestine begin to manifest themselves. It is caused by an increase in the body level of progesterone. It is he who is responsible for weakening the walls of the organs. If the symptomatology does not pass in time, it is worth reviewing the daily diet. In general, in this case it is worth turning to a specialist.
As practice shows, spasms can arise against the background of rumbling in the abdomen, its swelling and feelings of bursting. Accompanying everything can be nausea, vomiting, and also a feeling of heaviness. It is not uncommon for a woman to refuse food, due to a lack of appetite.
Colic can develop against a background of stressful situation, malnutrition, sedentary lifestyle. Intestinal colic of a high degree is observed in mothers, who are constantly in nervous tension. It should be noted that the cramping pain sensation occurs both for the first months of pregnancy, and for the latter. There is nothing incredible about this, because the fetus constantly grows and shifts the organs of a woman. Therefore, pain and difficulty in emptying are quite common.
If the problem is allergic, then you need to make a laboratory analysis of the condition. After all, the matter may lie in the presence of pointed crystals, which carries a special danger.
Effects
Spasmodic pain caused by infectious colitis can lead to hepatic and gastric insufficiency. All this provokes problems with digestion, causing a number of unpleasant symptoms. These include bloating, nutritional deficiency and anorexia. To completely restore digestion will have to use a number of treatment procedures. Their main function is to activate the work of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
If the pain was caused by a problem with the liver, the complications are the most difficult. The problem is able to flow into cholecystitis and hepatitis. This condition requires proper treatment and compliance with the rules of nutrition.
Constipation, with a different etiology, is a common complication. They are able to form against the background of the existing inflammatory process, neuromuscular weakness, diet, physical education. The danger of this condition lies in the defeat of the liver, as well as blood. Often the problem involves the inflammatory process of regional lymph nodes. Diarrhea, functional bowel disorders - the effects of spasms. Therefore, it is important to diagnose the problem in time and resort to its elimination.
Complications
Do not assume that spasms are quite a safe manifestation of any disease. If the problem is not fixed in time, serious complications can arise. In the first place, the intestine itself suffers, inflammatory processes of various kinds are not excluded. A person can constantly persist with constipation or frustration. And the problem can arise spontaneously.
Often the liver suffers. Do not think that intestinal colic can develop against the background of problems with this organ. Even neighboring organs and systems can influence this process. If the problem was caused by a disruption in the functioning of the liver, then hepatitis and cholecystitis have the right to be. This requires qualitative treatment. You can not let things go.
Constant swelling, flatulence, increased gas production and other "pleasantness" accompany a person until the true problem of this phenomenon is identified and eliminated. Therefore, delaying with treatment is highly discouraged.
Diagnosis of spasms in the intestine
A specific test revealing problems with the intestine does not exist. Because many diseases are not accompanied by special pathologies. Nevertheless, qualitative examination plays an important role.
Usually, a stool test is prescribed. This method makes it possible to investigate fecal masses for the presence of bloody impurities or parasites in them. After all, these "surprises" may indicate the presence of problems with the organs of the digestive tract.
General blood analysis. It allows you to determine the changes in blood and measure the level of leukocytes, platelets, red blood cells. The number of red blood cells can indicate the presence of anemia. According to leukocytes, the presence of infection is checked.
Often appoint a blood test for celiac disease. This disease of the digestive system, which occurs against the background of the immune response of the body to gluten. It is contained in cereals. A blood test in this case determines the presence of the disease.
In addition to general analysis, the use of sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy is actively used. These studies are a study of the rectum and large intestine for the presence of pathologies in them. Before the procedure, a person "sits" on a special diet, cleanses the intestines. Perhaps, these are the best and reliable methods of research. They will allow you to identify bowel diseases of any complexity and see all sorts of defects.
Analyzes for spasms in the intestine
Analyzes when diagnosing problems with the intestines play an important role. First of all, it is necessary to investigate feces. Due to his inspection, it is possible to identify any impurities in it. Blood and parasites indicate serious problems. By the way, worms are capable of provoking the development of severe spasms.
In addition, an overall blood test is performed. It allows you to consider the composition of the blood, or rather the number of main components. After all, any deviations indicate problems. For example, according to leukocytes, you can easily determine the presence of a serious infection in the body. Erythrocytes, in turn, diagnose anemia.
One of the important tests is blood donation to celiac disease. This disease refers to the ailments of the digestive system. It appears as an immune response to gluten. This process is characterized by frequent attacks of diarrhea. A detailed blood test will only confirm this pathology. That is why the study of blood is important in diagnosing the causes of severe spasms.
Instrumental diagnostics
This method of research involves a variety of procedures. First of all an X-ray examination is performed. Due to X-rays, it is possible to determine changes in some segments of the intestine. To do this, it is filled with a special contrast mass. It is introduced in two ways. The first option involves taking it through the mouth. For this, the person occupies a horizontal position, and the contents are entered through the trachoscope. The second option is the use of an enema (irrigation). X-ray examination allows you to see the contours of some segments of the organ, and to diagnose the existing violations.
The second procedure is a sigmoidoscopy. It is an examination of the mucous membrane with a tool of the rectoscope. A special tube is inserted at a depth of 35 cm. In normal condition, the mucous membrane is moist, smooth and has a moderately red shade. If there are inflammations, it becomes swollen, turbid and covered with mucus. The procedure allows you to diagnose ulcers, erosions, hemorrhoids.
Probation of the small intestine is not so rare. The body content can be obtained with the help of special thin tubes, which are connected together. After the probe is inserted, some areas of the intestine are sealed with air. Thus, it is possible to record the motility of the organ. True, sounding is not as common as the two methods described above.
Differential diagnostics
In differential diagnosis, emphasis is placed on the simplest causes that could provoke irritation. It can be both chronic diseases, and taking certain medications. The most common irritants have always been considered some foods and drinks. Usually it is fatty and harmful food, as well as carbonated sweet water. Eating food in abundant amounts often leads to excessive gas formation, severity and spasms. Many medications, including laxatives, can cause similar symptoms.
Affect the process can intellectual stress and psycho-emotional state. Therefore, you need to alternate the time of work with rest. The main pathology is fermentopathy. This deficiency, which develops during a diet that does not include milk, is a product containing lactose. Not the last place is given to polyposis, Crohn's disease, gynecological abnormalities and tumors. Differential diagnosis of these ailments involves the surrender of blood and feces. Based on the data obtained, they are diagnosed or sent for additional studies.
