    Stress and abdominal pain are closely linked through the gut-brain axis, a bidirectional communication network between the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract. Psychological stress activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, increasing cortisol levels and altering gut motility, secretion, and sensitivity. This can trigger symptoms such as cramping, bloating, and diarrhea, particularly in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Chronic stress also disrupts the gut microbiota, further aggravating inflammation and discomfort. While infections may require treatment from a reliable mebendazole supplier, functional abdominal pain often improves with stress management techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation training, regular exercise, and balanced nutrition.
