Yellow stomach may be due to physiological factors, but also due to acute cholangitis, jaundice hepatitis and other reasons.
1. Physiological factors: If a large amount of food high in carotene is consumed at one time, such as pumpkin, carrots, oranges, etc., this may cause yellow stomach, which can usually improve on its own.
2. Acute cholangitis: it may lead to blockage of the bile ducts and obstruction of bile excretion, which can’t be excreted to the gallbladder or intestines, causing elevated bilirubin in the body. Typical cases may have abdominal pain, chills, jaundice, and may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
3. Jaundice hepatitis: when suffering from jaundice hepatitis, the hepatitis virus causes damage to liver cells, affecting the metabolism of bilirubin, which increases the bilirubin entering the bloodstream, and therefore leads to the appearance of symptoms such as yellow urine, yellow sclera, and yellow stomach.
There may be other reasons for yellow stomach, if the symptoms of yellow stomach are not relieved, or accompanied by other symptoms, you should go to the hospital in time, after clarifying the cause to give targeted treatment.
