Abdominal pain is seen in various acute abdominal conditions, acute and chronic gastroenteritis, and digestive tract ulcers in Western medicine. Among them, acute abdominal pain has a rapid onset, fast progression, and severe condition, such as acute appendicitis often presenting with migratory right lower abdominal pain; gastric and duodenal ulcer perforation usually manifests as sudden, severe, knife-like pain accompanied by peritoneal irritation signs; acute gastroenteritis presents with paroxysmal abdominal pain accompanied by diarrhea and vomiting; acute intestinal obstruction presents with abdominal colicky pain, abdominal distension and fullness, vomiting, and constipation with cessation of flatus; biliary ascariasis presents with a special type of paroxysmal severe drilling pain. Additionally, some chronic abdominal pains also have certain patterns and characteristics, such as ulcer disease often presenting with rhythmic and periodic upper abdominal pain, liver cancer pain often progressively worsening, intestinal Chinese Taxillus Herb infection presenting with episodic dull pain or colicky pain that often resolves on its own, and proctitis often accompanied by tenesmus.

Abdominal pain caused by diseases of the urinary or digestive systems can generally be treated with cholinergic receptor blockers such as atropine, 654-2, and belladonna. If necessary, central nervous system analgesics such as pethidine and morphine can be used, but they are contraindicated in cases of unknown cause of abdominal pain. Acute abdominal pain, especially surgical acute abdomen, is urgent and rapidly changing. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, treatment measures should be immediately implemented to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

In cases of constitutional deficiency, abdominal pain persists after diarrhea due to the stagnation of qi movement in the abdomen. After diarrhea, the visceral qi becomes even more deficient, and the qi movement becomes more obstructed, hence the intermittent abdominal pain. Western medicine considers this type of abdominal pain mostly as gastrointestinal spasms, treated with antispasmodics such as atropine and 6-542. Opium, processed from the fruit of the poppy, has analgesic and astringent effects, mainly used for heart abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, and cough without phlegm. Its main component, morphine, has significant analgesic effects, but as a highly toxic narcotic with addictive potential, it should not be used lightly. If it must be used for emergency purposes, the dosage must be strictly controlled, and the patient's condition closely monitored, stopping immediately once the condition improves, with extreme caution.
