What's Causing Your Abdominal Pain? (rxlist.com)
What Is Abdominal Pain? (rxlist.com)
Although abdominal pain can arise from the tissues of your abdominal wall that surround the abdominal cavity (such as the skin and abdominal wall muscles), the term abdominal pain generally is used to describe pain originating from organs within your abdominal cavity. (rxlist.com)
Abdominal pain can range in intensity from a mild stomach ache to severe, acute pain. (rxlist.com)
There are many different possible causes of abdominal pain. (rxlist.com)
Abdominal pain is caused by inflammation (for example, appendicitis, diverticulitis, colitis), by stretching or distention of an organ (for example, obstruction of the intestine, blockage of a bile duct by gallstones, swelling of the liver with hepatitis), or by loss of the supply of blood to an organ (for example, ischemic colitis). (rxlist.com)
To complicate matters, however, abdominal pain also can occur for unclear reasons without inflammation, distention, or loss of blood supply. (rxlist.com)
A primary health care provider or gastroenterologist can help determine the underlying cause of pain in the abdominal area. (rxlist.com)
How Is the Cause of Abdominal Pain Diagnosed? (rxlist.com)
When does your abdominal pain occur? (rxlist.com)
Abdominal pain that occurs after eating may be due to indigestion. (rxlist.com)
For example, abdominal pain that comes on suddenly may suggest a sudden event such as the interruption of the supply of blood to the colon (ischemia) or obstruction of the bile duct by a gallstone (biliary colic). (rxlist.com)
Do you have acute abdominal pain that came on suddenly or did the pain start gradually and worsen? (rxlist.com)
Patterns of pain can be helpful in the diagnosis of abdominal pain. (rxlist.com)
An obstruction of your intestine, for example, initially causes waves of crampy abdominal pain due to contractions of your intestinal muscles and distention of the intestine. (rxlist.com)
