Stomach cramps

Stomach cramps are characterised by aching sensations in the abdominal area, which can range from mild and temporary to more severe and concerning.

Depending on the individual’s diagnosis, stomach cramps may be associated with symptoms such as flatulence, diarrhoea, constipation, acid reflux, or heartburn. These symptoms can cause discomfort and can be attributed to factors such as food intolerances, stress or infections.

Stomach cramps can have various causes, including milder conditions like bloating, constipation or indigestion. More severe causes may include conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, menstrual cramps, or premenstrual syndrome.
