Bowel cramp pain is usually located in the abdomen around the belly button and manifests as intermittent cramps that come on every few minutes to several minutes.
Bowel cramp pain, also called spasmodic colic, is a symptom rather than a disease. Bowel cramps are paroxysmal abdominal pain caused by sharp contractions of the smooth muscles of the intestines and are a common symptom of acute abdominal pain and may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting, with the location of the pain occurring in the abdomen around the belly button.
Most intestinal spasms are functional and their etiology remains incompletely understood. Its pathogenesis is caused by various pathogenic factors controlling intestinal motility of the nervous system dysfunction, intestinal blood supply disorders, which in turn induces temporary intestinal spasm.
Intestinal spasm can not be diagnosed solely on the basis of clinical abdominal pain manifestations, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor for targeted treatment.
