Abdominal pain refers to any discomfort or pain in the area between the chest and pelvis. It is one of the most common reasons patients seek medical advice, as it can range from mild to severe and might affect daily activities. The pain can feel dull, sharp, cramp-like, or throbbing and may vary in location and duration, depending on the cause.
The symptoms of abdominal pain can differ widely. Common symptoms include:
If the pain becomes intense, lasts longer than usual, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it is essential to consult a specialist.
Abdominal pain can stem from various causes, often related to digestive health. Some common causes include:
Acid reflux can cause heartburn and pain in the upper abdomen.
A chronic condition that leads to cramping, bloating, and changes in bowel habits.
Inflammation or ulcers in the stomach lining can lead to persistent pain.
Solid particles in the gallbladder that cause severe pain, especially after meals.
A sudden pain starting near the navel, often moving to the lower right abdomen, requiring urgent care.
Other causes include constipation, food intolerances, infections, or more serious conditions such as Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, or even certain cancers.
