Structure – The epigastrium is one of the nine regions of the abdomen, along with the right and left hypochondria, right and left lateral regions (lumbar areas or flanks), right and left inguinal regions (or fossae), and the umbilical and pubic regions.

• It is located between the costal margins and the subcostal plane,
• During breathing, the diaphragm contracts and flattens, displacing the viscera and producing an outward movement of the upper abdominal wall (epigastric region).
• It is a convergence of the diaphragm and the abdominals, so that “when both sets of muscles (diaphragm and abdominals) tense, the epigastrium pushes forward”.

Therefore, the epigastric region is not a muscle nor is it an organ, but it is a zone of activity where the actions of the rectus abdominis and the diaphragm produce an outward bulging of the upper abdominal wall.

Epigastric pain is a name for pain or discomfort right below your ribs in the area of your upper abdomen. It often happens alongside other common symptoms of your digestive system. These symptoms can include heartburn, bloating, and gas.

Epigastric pain isn’t always cause for concern. This condition has many possible causes, especially when it happens right after eating. It’s important to be able to tell the difference between pain that’s a result of something harmless, like overeating or lactose intolerance, and pain that happens because of an underlying condition, such as GERD, inflammation, or infection.

1. Eep reading to learn more about what may be causing your symptoms.

Drinking alcohol in moderation, or about one drink per day, normally doesn’t cause stomach pain. But drinking too much alcohol at one time or over a long period of time can cause your stomach lining to become inflamed. Long-term inflammation can lead to bleeding.

gastritis, or stomach inflammation pancreatitis, or inflammation of the pancreasliver disease

These conditions can all cause epigastric pain, too. Check out: Gastritis diet: What to eat and what to avoid » When you eat too much, your stomach can expand beyond its normal size. This puts a lot of pressure on the organs around it. This pressure can cause pain in your gut.

1. It can also make it hard to breathe because your lungs have less room to expand when you inhale.

pain or discomfort in your upper body or chestnauseavomiting, or throwing up blood or something that looks like coffee groundspassing black stool

1. However, significant epigastric pain in pregnancy is sometimes a symptom of a serious condition known as preeclampsia,
2. It requires close monitoring by your doctor and can become life-threatening if severe.
3. You’ll require close observation, blood pressure checks, blood tests, and urine tests to rule this out as a cause of epigastric pain.

Treatment for epigastric pain depends on the cause. If your pain is a result of your diet or overeating, your doctor may recommend that you change your diet or lifestyle. This may include exercising for about 30 minutes each day or eating healthier foods.

• Eating foods like ginger and taking vitamin B supplements may help relieve symptoms like nausea and throwing up.
• Shop for vitamin B supplements online.
• If the pain is a result of taking certain medications, such as NSAIDs, your doctor may tell you to stop taking these medications and help you find another way to manage pain.

Your doctor may recommend antacids or even acid-blocking medicines to relieve your pain. If an underlying condition such as GERD, Barrett’s esophagus, or peptic ulcer disease is causing your epigastric pain, you may require antibiotics as well as long-term treatment to manage these conditions.

  What makes epigastric pain worse?

  Gastric acid is responsible for much epigastric pain –

  Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) can cause epigastric pain as well as burning pain in the chest, a feeling of liquid coming up into the back of the throat and a persistent irritating cough. Many factors contribute to it, including:

  Obesity.Gastric irritants, such as alcohol, smoking and caffeine.Pregnancy. Hiatus hernia,Stress.

  Gastritis is a common cause of epigastric pain. It is often worse after eating and will generally improve with proton pump inhibitors, Test for the presence of Helicobacter pylori, Peptic ulcer tends to cause acute or chronic gnawing or burning pain. This may be improved by food if caused by a duodenal ulcer, and worsened by food if a gastric ulcer. Typically the pain is worse at night.

What organs are in epigastric region?

Surgical Considerations – Clinically, the abdomen is roughly divided into nine regions by two sagittal planes from the midclavicular lines to the mid inguinal lines, and two transverse planes, one at the subcostal line and one at the iliac tubercles. The umbilicus serves at the center of the nine regions. Each region and its associated organs are detailed below:

Right hypochondrium: liver, gallbladder Epigastrium: stomach, liver, pancreas, duodenum, adrenal glands Left hypochondrium: spleen, colon, pancreas

Right lumber region: ascending colon, right kidney Umbilical region: navel, small intestine Left lumbar legion: descending colon, left kidney

Right iliac fossa: appendix, cecum Hypogastric: Urinary bladder, sigmoid colon, female reproductive Left iliac fossa: descending colon, sigmoid colon

Surgically, the portal triad within the hepatoduodenal ligament is of considerable significance and includes the proper hepatic artery, common bile duct, and portal vein. The Pringle maneuver is when pressure is applied to this ligament to control hemorrhage.
