causes abdominal pain
The following conditions may cause generalized abdominal pain, which is abdominal pain that isn't focused in one specific area: 1  Appendicitis. 2  Crohn's disease.  Diabetic ketoacidosis (high levels of ketones in the blood)
Abdominal pain has many potential causes. Many causes, such as gas pains or a pulled muscle, aren't serious, while other conditions require timely medical attention. Often, the location of the abdominal pain can provide an important clue as to its cause. At other times, abdominal pain may occur in unexpected patterns, and its cause is less obvious. Nonetheless, it is helpful to think about abdominal pain in terms of its location. The following conditions may cause generalized abdominal pain, which is abdominal pain that isn't focused in one specific area: Appendicitis.
The following conditions often cause lower abdominal pain, sometimes described as pelvic pain: 1  Appendicitis. 2  Cystitis (bladder inflammation) 3  Diverticulitis.  Problems with the cervix, such as a cervical infection, inflamed cervix or growths on the cervix.
Occasionally, pain may be felt in the abdomen even though it is arising from organs that are close to, but not within, the abdominal cavity. For example, conditions of the lower lungs, the kidneys, and the uterus or ovaries can cause abdominal pain. On the other hand, it also is possible for pain from organs within the abdomen to be felt outside of the abdomen. For example, the pain of pancreatic inflammation may be felt in the back.
