What does the throbbing in my belly indicate? A throbbing sensation in my abdomen may be a symptom of what medical conditions? For what reasons can it feel such pulsing? Should you be concerned? The question is answered by the drug. Katarzyna Darecka.

What does the throbbing sensation in my stomach indicate?

Hello and at the beginning I would like to add that my problem may seem strange, but for me it is already very tiring and I do not know how to deal with it. The point is, I’ve been feeling for a few weeks now throbbing in the belly. It is not pain or the normal cramps or indigestion, but a throbbing sensation in the abdomen. Most often I feel this type of pulsation when I am lying on my back, then when I put my hand I can very clearly feel the pulsation in my abdomen. It is less common when I am sitting, but there have been times when I have felt my stomach throbbing while standing. I would also like to point out that I haven’t noticed any regularity, sometimes the throbbing in my stomach is felt, and other times it is not at all.

What does the throbbing in this type of belly mean? Could you please tell me what they could be causes of pulsation in the abdomen? It seems to me that this must be a symptom of some problems, because before that I did not feel any pulsation in my abdomen at all and I noticed the first symptoms of this type quite suddenly. I admit I ignored the throbbing in my stomach a bit at first, but now I was worried that the throbbing in my stomach might have some repercussions on my health. However, I do not know which doctor to go to or what tests to perform.

The doctor explains the causes of pulsation in the abdomen

A throbbing sensation in your belly it may be normal for some people, especially thin and old people, most likely to occur when they are supine or when lightly compressed in the area between the breastbone and the navel. However, for some it can cause something much more serious, especially in people with increased cardiovascular risk due to high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking or old age, but also genetic diseases such as Marfan’s syndrome or Ehlersa. Danlos.

This could be an abdominal aortic aneurysm. We deal with an aneurysm when, as a result of atherosclerosis, the vessel wall weakens, and due to the low resistance, the blood flowing through the vessel begins to push the weakened wall even more and a bulge is formed. Patients with an aneurysm rarely experience any other symptoms unless it tears or ruptures, which is already a medical emergency.

A doctor may suspect an aortic aneurysm on the basis of a careful history, palpation and auscultation of the abdominal cavity with a stethoscope. However, to diagnose an abdominal aortic aneurysm, the doctor should order one of the following tests: abdominal ultrasound with Doppler function (of choice), abdominal and pelvic CT, CT angiography or angiography (less frequently).

Pulsating in the abdomen may also mean irritable bowel syndrome, so it is worth checking worrying symptoms by performing tests to diagnose digestive disorders.

Check if you should consult a doctor? Go through the initial medical interview yourself.

It should be remembered that not every abdominal aortic aneurysm requires treatment, in some cases ultrasound monitoring of the aneurysm will be sufficient, even in the case of aortic diameter of 26-29 mm, a follow-up examination after 4 years is recommended, and in aneurysms with a diameter of 30-39 mm every 3 years, 40-44mm every 2 years,> 45mm – every year. In the case of causal treatment, such as endovascular stent graft implantation, the procedure to commence surgery depends on the aneurysm diameter (usually> 50mm), its growth rate and anatomical conditions.

In this case, no matter what, I recommend that you visit your GP, who will be able to gather a detailed history, including family diseases, to examine and decide if the throbbing sensation in the abdomen requires further diagnosis.
