Visceral Pain

Visceral pain is a type of pain that comes from the internal organs, such as the stomach, intestines, or heart. It often feels like a deep, pressure-like discomfort rather than sharp pain. This pain can be difficult to pinpoint, as it may be felt in other areas of the body due to nerve connections. Common causes include digestive issues, menstrual cramps, or heart problems. Unlike somatic pain, which arises from skin, muscles, and joints, visceral pain can be more complex and is often associated with conditions that affect organ function.
