Can someone explain why the combining form (Gastrodynia) was not used to joint the root word and suffix together?

It sounds like dynia means pain and gastro means digestive system, or stomach. This is a natural way that medical terms are formed. For instance, dynsuria is painful urination. Alternate words for gastrodynia are gastralgia and stomachalgia, or stomach ache.
