Is the pain under the splayed bone a stomachache?

The part below the splayed bone is actually the xiphoid process at the intersection of the ribs and the arch of the foot. The pain in this position is stomach pain, but other conditions, such as pancreatitis and cholecystitis, are not excluded.

The stomach is located under the splayed bone. If there is the following pain here, it can be considered as stomach pain, mostly caused by gastric lesions, including chronic gastritis, erosive gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric polyp, gastric cancer and so on. Can be diagnosed by gastroscope. Patients usually show regular pain related to eating, accompanied by symptoms such as gastric acid reflux, heartburn and belching. However, this situation can also be seen in cholecystitis and gallstones. Although the pain in the gallbladder often occurs under the costal arch of the right upper abdomen, due to vagus nerve reflex, some patients can also show the pain under the xiphoid process at the intersection of bilateral costal arches, which is usually related to greasy diet, and the pain attacks are irregular. In severe cases, it can radiate to the back and right shoulder, accompanied by symptoms such as sweating, nausea and vomiting. The head and body of the pancreas are located in the deep part of the splayed bone, and the lesions in this part can also cause this kind of pain. This kind of pain is characterized by night pain, which can be relieved or alleviated by sitting up. In addition, the superficial organ under the splayed bone is the transverse colon. If the colon has pathological changes, such as colonic polyps, ileocecal ulcers or tumors, it can also show spasmodic pain under the splanchnic bone, and colonoscopy can make a definite diagnosis. In addition, there are pathological changes in the small intestine, which can also be manifested as pain under the splayed bone. Some patients may have diarrhea or bloody stool, and the regularity of pain is not obvious. The examination methods include enterography, small intestine CT and colonoscopy. It can be seen that this situation may be caused by stomach pain, but it may also be caused by other reasons. It is suggested that when this phenomenon occurs, you can go to the hospital for diagnosis.
