Abdominal pain can be caused by a variety of factors. There may be a connection between it and digestion, injury, infection, or disease. Your abdominal wall muscles or skin may be affected, or your organs may be affected. There is also a possibility that it spread from another nearby location. To determine the cause of your pain, your healthcare provider will ask you detailed questions. There is no direct correlation between how bad it feels and how serious it is. A common, transient condition can feel intense, while a life-threatening condition may feel mild. The majority of causes are temporary and not serious. Symptoms may be caused by digestion, menstruation, or a virus. It is possible for abdominal pain to indicate a serious medical condition that will require treatment. The presence of pain in different regions may indicate the involvement of different organs.
