Abdominal pain

Also known as: Abdominal or pelvic pain

General information only. Anpheros does not diagnose and does not recommend treatment. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist about your situation. In an emergency, call 112 (or your local emergency number).

In short

The abdomen extends from below the chest to the groin and contains many important organs, and pain can come from any one of them or start somewhere else, such as the chest. Severe pain does not always mean a serious problem, nor does mild pain mean a problem is not serious. Immediate medical help is needed if abdominal pain is sudden and sharp, if there is also pain in the chest, neck, or shoulder, if there is vomiting of blood or blood in the stool, if the abdomen is stiff, hard, and tender to touch, or if bowels cannot be moved, especially with vomiting.

Description

Your abdomen extends from below your chest to your groin. Some people call it the stomach, but your abdomen contains many other important organs. Pain in the abdomen can come from any one of them. The pain may start somewhere else, such as your chest. Severe pain doesn't always mean a serious problem. Nor does mild pain mean a problem is not serious.

Call your health care provider if mild pain lasts a week or more or if you have pain with other symptoms. Get medical help immediately if:

  • You have abdominal pain that is sudden and sharp
  • You also have pain in your chest, neck or shoulder
  • You're vomiting blood or have blood in your stool
  • Your abdomen is stiff, hard and tender to touch
  • You can't move your bowels, especially if you're also vomiting
