Colic, also known as intestinal cramps, can be characterized by symptoms such as abdominal cramping during an adult intestinal cramp attack, which may stop after defecation or elimination of gas. Various factors such as indigestion, cold abdomen or cold food, intestinal diseases, mental stimulation and so on may cause adult intestinal cramps. The pain is usually located in the abdomen around the navel and manifests as colicky pain, which is intermittent and lasts for 3 to 5 minutes each time, with no symptoms in the intervals, and stops after defecation, gas evacuation, or change of body position. If you experience episodes of intestinal cramps and the symptoms persist or recur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
