Colic

Abdominal colic is often caused by the muscles of the abdominal duct-like organs not contracting strongly by the person's will. Under normal circumstances, the pipe-like organs in the human body are constantly peristaltic. For example, the stomach is constantly peristalizing and contracting to digest food, pushing the chyme into the small intestine, and the small intestine is constantly peristalizing, absorbing nutrients and moisture and making the contents of the intestine to the large intestine. As you approach, the large intestine is constantly peristalging while absorbing water and expelling wastes; the gallbladder and bile ducts are also peristalizing and contracting, and bile is stored and secreted according to the needs of the human body ... Under normal circumstances, peristaltic contraction does not cause abdominal pain, but If in order to overcome the obstruction in the duct, it is necessary to strengthen the contraction. Strong and severe contraction will cause abdominal cramps. Organs that can cause abdominal cramps include the stomach and intestine (including the appendix), the cystic duct, the liver duct, the common bile duct, the pancreatic duct, the ureter, the uterus or fallopian tube, and the kidney.
