What are the causes of dull pain in the upper left abdomen

There are many important organs in the abdomen, including the large and small intestines, colon, cecum, liver area and pelvis, so abdominal pain is also common. For many people, dull pain in the upper left abdomen is not considered a big problem, which results in the abdominal pain not being taken seriously or treated for a long time. Usually, there are several reasons for pain in the upper left abdomen. Let’s take a look at them.

What causes dull pain in the upper left abdomen? The dull pain in the abdomen that we usually refer to can be divided into two types: pain in the affected organ itself, and pain in the affected organ itself. So what is the cause of dull pain in the upper left abdomen?

1. Generally speaking, pain can be divided into two types: dull pain and sharp pain (hernia pain). Dull pain refers to a dull pain, which is mostly caused by pain in the genitals or internal organs; sharp pain refers to very obvious pain, and the patient can clearly know the location of the pain, which is usually related to obstruction of the duct, such as bile duct stones and intestinal obstruction.

2. The causes of pain in the upper left abdomen may be perisplenitis, splenectomy syndrome, pancreatitis, pancreatic body and tail tumors, splenic flexure and colon tumors, etc. In addition to digestive tract diseases, there may also be diseases of other systems, such as wandering kidney, pyelonephritis, urinary stones, etc. A small number of patients with acute myocardial infarction may present with left upper abdominal pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting, but acute myocardial infarction often has a history of angina pectoris, characteristic electrocardiogram manifestations and abnormal laboratory tests, accompanied by chest tightness, sweating and other phenomena.

3. Chronic, recurrent upper abdominal pain without any organic lesions may be psychological pelvic pain. Some people believe that psychological pelvic pain is a somatic conversion reaction, which transforms some repressed emotions into physical symptoms to relieve psychological conflicts; some people have developed a fear of sex due to mental trauma in sexual behavior, and experience pain during sexual intercourse, which then develops into pelvic pain. The patients' main complaints are many, mainly low back pain and pelvic pain, and the degree and location of pain vary from person to person.
