Chronic Functional Abdominal Pain

Chronic Functional Abdominal Pain (CFAP) is a condition characterized by ongoing abdominal pain that lasts for at least three months without any identifiable medical cause. Unlike other digestive disorders, the pain is not linked to specific diseases like ulcers or infections. CFAP can significantly affect daily life, leading to stress and anxiety. It may be associated with changes in gut function or sensitivity and can be influenced by psychological factors. Treatment often involves a combination of medication, dietary adjustments, and psychological support to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
