ABDOMINAL PAIN

Abdominal pain can range from mild stomach ache to severe acute pain. The pain is usually nonspecific and can be caused by a variety of conditions. Many organs are found within the abdominal cavity. Sometimes the pain is directly related to a specific organ such as the bladder or ovary. Usually, the pain originates in the digestive system. For example, the pain can be caused by appendicitis, diarrheal cramping, or food poisoning. 

The type and location of pain may help the physician find the cause. The intensity and duration of pain must also be considered when making the diagnosis. A few general characteristics of abdominal pain are as follows:

• Abdominal pain can be sharp, dull, stabbing, cramplike, knifelike, twisting, or boring. Many other types of pain are possible.
  
  
• Abdominal pain can be brief, lasting for a few minutes and then going away, or it can be constant. Sometimes abdominal pain comes on strongly for a while and then lessens for a while.
  
  
• Sometimes abdominal pain can hurt so much you throw up, but it stays intense. Other times, you will feel better after you throw up.
  
  
• Abdominal pain can make you want to stay in one place and not move a muscle. Or the pain can make you so restless you want to pace around trying to find "just the right position."
