Treatment
The treatment of the respective abdominal pain which occurs in a sitting position depends on the therapy of the illness causing the complaints. Since in most cases flatulence is the cause of the complaints, a change in body position should be undertaken first. A massage of the abdomen and thus the intestines can also help to relieve the flatulence.
If flatulence occurs frequently and causes complaints, an analysis for intolerance can help to reduce the symptoms. If the symptoms persist for a longer period of time and if the pain is very strong, known as pain of destruction, as well as colic pains occurring in waves, a doctor should be consulted immediately for diagnosis. If necessary, this doctor can initiate therapy immediately after the diagnosis, refer the patient to a specialist or give the all-clear.
