10 Causes of Stomach Cramps
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #9: Constipation
Constipation is a condition where food passes through the digestive system too slowly. This causes stools to be hard and often difficult to pass, while it can also cause food and waste to begin to accumulate in the system. Accumulated food in the system can lead to increased pressure, and this can lead to further symptoms including stomach cramps.
Constipation should not last long and medication is available that can help. If it does last for longer than usual, you should arrange to get it checked out by a medical professional. Constipation can be caused by various things, including a poor diet, sickness, and blockages.
