Pushing, the large intestine is also constantly squirming while absorbing moisture and excreting waste; the gallbladder and bile duct are also creeping and contracting, storing and secreting bile according to the needs of the human body. Normal peristaltic contraction does not cause abdominal pain, but if you want to overcome the obstruction in the pipeline, it is necessary to strengthen the contraction, and the strong and severe contraction will cause abdominal cramps. Organs capable of producing abdominal cramps include the stomach and intestine (including the appendix), the cystic duct, the hepatic duct, the common bile duct, the pancreatic duct, the ureter, the uterus or the fallopian tube, and the kidney.
