abdominal pain

Abdominal pain refers to discomfort or pain in the area between the chest and pelvis. It can arise from various causes, including digestive issues (like gas, constipation, or indigestion), infections, or more serious conditions (such as appendicitis or gallstones). Pain can vary in intensity and may be accompanied by symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or changes in bowel habits. Understanding the nature and location of the pain, as well as any additional symptoms, can help healthcare providers determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. If the pain is severe or persistent, medical attention is advised.
