why does pain occur in stomach during indigestion?
Answers
hope this helps !
and if you're having one you should go to a doctor
Answer:
☆Acid reflux
A digestive disease in which stomach acid or bile irritates the food pipe lining.
Symptoms may include
- Indigestion
- Heartburn and acid reflux
- Bitter taste
☆Stomach ulcer
A sore that develops on the lining of the oesophagus, stomach or small intestine.
Symptoms may include
- Indigestion
- Dull pain
- Heartburn and acid reflux
☆Gastritis
Any of a group of conditions in which the stomach lining is inflamed.
Symptoms may include
- Abdominal pain
- Indigestion
- Heartburn and acid reflux
☆Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
An intestinal disorder causing pain in the stomach, wind, diarrhoea and constipation.
Symptoms may include
- Indigestion
- Change in bowel habits
- Recurrent abdominal pain

Upper abdominal discomfort, described asburning sensation, bloating or gassiness,nausea or feeling full too quickly after starting to eat.
☆COMMON CAUSES
Indigestion can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include eating too much, drinking too much, food intolerance or taking pills on an empty stomach.

✯What is Digestion?
Digestion is the process of breaking large, insoluble food molecules into smaller molecules for absorption into the bloodstream. This process involves the use of many digestive fluids and enzymes such as saliva, mucus, bile and hydrochloric acid, among others.
There are four primary stages of food digestion in the human body that include:
- After the intake of food through the mouth, it makes its way through the stomach into the small intestine, where it is digested.
- The nutrients from the digested food get absorbed into the bloodstream through small pores in the small intestine.
- The remaining undigested food is sent to the large intestine, where any unprocessed water or nutrients are reabsorbed into the body.
- The remaining waste food product is passed out of the body in the form of stools.
✯Parts of the Human Digestive System
Accessory organs are organs which participate in the digestion process but are not actually a part of GIT. They stimulate the digestion by releasing certain enzymes that help in breaking down the food.
Let us have a detailed look at the digestive system of the human body, along with its parts and functions:
☆Mouth
Food starts its journey from the mouth or the oral cavity. There are many other organs that contribute to the digestion process, including teeth, salivary glands, and tongue. Teeth are designed for grinding food particles into small pieces and are moistened with saliva before the tongue pushes the food into the pharynx.
☆Pharynx
A fibromuscular y-shaped tube attached to the terminal end of the mouth. It is mainly involved in the passage of chewed/crushed food from the mouth through the oesophagus. It also has a major part in the respiratory system, as air travels through the pharynx from the nasal cavity on its way to the lungs.
☆Oesophagus
This is a muscular tube that connects the pharynx, which is a part of an upper section of the gastrointestinal tract. It supplies swallowed food along with its length.
☆Stomach
It serves as a muscular bag which is situated towards the left side of the abdominal cavity, beneath the diaphragm. This vital organ acts as a storage for the food and provides enough time to digest meals. The stomach also produces digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid that maintains the process of digestion.
☞Mucous:
It is an aqueous secretion produced by the mucous membranes. It functions by protecting the stomach lining and gastric pits from the acid, which is produced by the glands to destroy the bacteria that entered along with the food particles.
☞Digestive enzymes:
They are the group of enzymes which functions by breaking down polymeric macromolecules like biopolymers into their smaller and simpler substances.
☞Hydrochloric acid:
It is the digestive fluid formed by the stomach during the process of digestion. It functions by destroying harmful microorganisms present in the food particles.
☆Small Intestine
The small intestine is a thin, long tube of about 10 feet long and a part of the lower gastrointestinal tract. It is present just behind the stomach and acquires a maximum area of the abdominal cavity. The complete small intestine is coiled and the inner surface consists of folds and ridges.
☆Large Intestine
This is a thick, long tube measuring around 5 feet in length. It is present just beneath the stomach and wraps over the superior and lateral edges of the small intestine. It absorbs water and consists of bacteria (symbiotic) that support the breakdown of wastes to fetch small nutrients.
