I have been experiencing stomach cramps for some time now. They are painful but it is nothing severe. Are there some serious conditions that have cramps as a sign? What do you think that is causing my cramps?
I can not tell you what is causing your stomach cramps without examining you. It is good that they are not severe, but for you to be certain that it is nothing serious, I advise you to go to your doctor. Stomach cramps are usually a painful squeezing sensation that comes and goes. The squeezing sensation does not always originate in your stomach. Sometimes the trouble can be further down, so you need to be examined to know if it is something serious. Sometimes the cause of your stomach cramps can be a food that you are eating. Think about when you feel the cramps, maybe it is after you have ate something. Lactose intolerance can cause cramps ant it is the inability to digest the sugar in dairy products. Stress also plays a role in stomach cramps. Some doctors believe that many causes of cramping are linked to stress so it's important to get your stress level under control, of course, if you think that this is the case with you. But, to be able to know, you need to go to your doctor.
