While it is recommended that you consult your doctor, there are some ways to tell what may be the cause of abdominal pain. If you are having pain in no particular area, it may be caused because of urinary tract infection, Crohn’s disease, the flu, appendicitis, or irritable bowel syndrome. Pain in the lower abdomen can be caused by intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, and ectopic pregnancy. Upper abdominal pain may be caused due to pneumonia, heart attack, gallstones, or hepatitis.
If you are experiencing pain in the centre of the abdomen, it may be due to an injury, appendicitis, uremia, or gastroenteritis. Lower abdomen pain in the left can be caused by an infection in the kidney, cancer, or Crohn’s disease. Left upper abdominal pain may be caused by cancer, fecal impaction, enlarged spleen, heart attack, or kidney infection. Right lower abdomen pain is caused by flu, hernia, cancer, or appendicitis. If you have pain in abdomen’s right side, it may be due to pneumonia, hepatitis, appendicitis, or an injury.
Those mentioned above are just general guidelines. If you feel any pain in the abdomen region, it is highly recommended to contact your doctor. If you are having severe pain, it is best if you call emergency services right away without any delay.
