Hello,
With the question “Is left stomach pain after eating okay? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You pain in the upper left abdomen after eating can be a symptom of a few diseases such as digestive disorders, gastritis, acute pancreatitis, perforation of the stomach.
Depending on the severity of the pain, there are different treatments. If your pain does not decrease but becomes more and more intense, then you should see a doctor immediately to rule out 2 dangerous emergencies, acute pancreatitis and perforation of the stomach. If the pain doesn't get worse, it's just a dull ache, or it just goes away for a few days, you can delay your appointment. However, ideally, you should still see a doctor for advice and an ultrasound to be safe.
If you still have questions about left abdominal pain after eating, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
