Common Reasons For Abdominal Pain
Scientifically speaking, the abdomen is the area from your pelvic bone to the bottom of the ribs. This includes your stomach, bowels, liver, gall bladder, and several other internal organs. Because of the vast array of vital organs located in your abdomen, it’s important to note the exact location of your abdominal pain.
Some of the most common causes of abdominal pain are inflammatory diseases such as appendicitis, diverticulitis and colitis. Each of these diseases stretches or distends the affected organ. Other causes of abdominal pain, such as gallstones, cause a blockage, which then leads to painful symptoms. Still others, such as ischemic colitis, cause a lack of blood supply to a given organ, which then causes pain.
