What is the reason for the growling stomach?

When the human intestine wriggles, it will produce sound, which is called intestinal croaking in medicine and belongs to normal physiological reaction.

Under normal circumstances, the bowel sounds are 4-5 times per minute, the sound is low and weak, and the appearance is regular.

The stomach is always purring, which is generally a manifestation of increased intestinal peristalsis. This is also called irritable bowel sounds.

When you are hungry, there is only liquid and air left in your stomach, and you will make a purring sound.

When the stomach and intestines are not digested, the increase of gas production of intestinal flora will be cooing; When you have loose bowels, your gastrointestinal peristalsis will increase and you will growl.

If the intestinal flora is disordered, it will also lead to hyperactivity of bowel sounds, which can be mediated by oral probiotics.

Excluding the factors of hunger, simple bowel sounds occasionally appear, and there are no other symptoms, mostly caused by indigestion, which is generally not a big problem. Just eat some food or medicine to help digestion.

If the frequency of bowel sounds suddenly increases, about 10 times per minute, the sound becomes louder, and you feel that your stomach is constantly crawling, accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms, which may indicate acute gastroenteritis, bacillary dysentery, gastrointestinal bleeding and other diseases, and you need to go to the hospital.

If the frequency of bowel sounds increases for more than one month, accompanied by abdominal discomfort, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea and other symptoms, you may suffer from chronic enteritis and gastritis. Long-term gastroenteritis is easy to cause nutrient loss and affect the normal operation of the body.

If the number of bowel sounds increases significantly, reaching more than 10 times per minute, the sound is loud and high, even tinkling or metallic, accompanied by symptoms such as non-venting, non-defecation, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, which may be intestinal obstruction. Need to go to the hospital for consultation and treatment in time.
