Symptoms of somatic pain disorder

The most common symptoms are gastrointestinal discomfort (such as pain, burping, acid regurgitation, vomiting, nausea, etc.), abnormal skin sensation (such as itching, burning, tingling, numbness, soreness, etc.), skin spots, and complaints about sex and menstruation are also very common, often with obvious depression and anxiety.

There may be multiple symptoms at the same time. The patient had a lot of tests for this, but no positive findings were found, and even the surgical exploration had nothing. It is often a chronic fluctuating disease course, accompanied by long-term serious social, interpersonal and family behavior barriers, which rarely can be completely alleviated.

The earliest symptoms of women may be related to sexual difficulties or marriage and love problems. Some patients often receive treatment, can lead to drug dependence or abuse (mostly sedatives and analgesics).

Once the inner conflict is resolved, the symptoms often disappear automatically. Of course, some patients have resistance to this treatment.
