Disease/Condition Glossary

Abdominal or Stomach spasm: It is a short-term or acute condition in which the abdominal muscles (abs), intestine and stomach contract severely. Stomach spasms can be caused due to muscle strain, dehydration, stomach gas formation, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, gastritis (stomach inflammation), pregnancy, constipation or other gastrointestinal infection.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): It is also termed IBS colitis, mucous colitis, spastic colon, nervous colon, and spastic bowel. It is an inflammatory bowel disease that affects the large intestine. Symptoms of an IBS include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, mucus in stools, wind, constipation, tiredness, anxiety, depression, heartburn, indigestion, and headaches. IBS can be controlled by managing diet, excluding certain intolerant foods, lifestyle, and stress. It is more commonly found in people in their late teens to early 40s.

Menstrual cramps: When your uterus contracts and gets expelled during the menses periods, hormones like prostaglandins get involved in triggering pain and inflammation. This, in turn, increases uterine muscle contractions. So, higher levels of prostaglandins (pain hormone) are associated with more-severe menstrual cramps.
