Abdominal pain can have many causes, ranging from indigestion and gastritis to gallstones, appendicitis, kidney stones and other gastrointestinal conditions. The right treatment depends on the location, severity, duration and cause of the pain.

Abdominal pain is a symptom rather than a single disease. Clinical assessment and appropriate tests help guide treatment.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Depending on the diagnosis, care may include medicines, dietary or lifestyle measures, endoscopic procedures or surgery. Severe, sudden or persistent abdominal pain, especially when accompanied by fever, repeated vomiting, bleeding, fainting or marked abdominal swelling, requires prompt medical assessment.
Abdominal pain may arise from organs in the digestive system, urinary system or other structures within the abdomen. The nature of the pain can provide useful clues, but symptoms alone cannot establish a diagnosis.
The original page identifies several possible causes, including gastritis, peptic ulcers, gallstones, appendicitis, kidney stones, hernias, liver disorders and irritable bowel syndrome. Persistent or unexplained pain should be assessed rather than treated only on the basis of symptoms.
Some abdominal pain needs urgent medical evaluation. Do not rely on home treatment when symptoms are severe, sudden, worsening or accompanied by concerning signs.
The source page recommends prompt medical attention for severe or persistent pain and symptoms such as fever, bleeding, vomiting, dizziness or abdominal swelling.
Contact HospitalThe clinician reviews the location, duration, severity and associated symptoms and performs a physical examination.
Blood tests may be used when appropriate to look for infection, inflammation, liver problems or pancreatic disorders.
Depending on the suspected cause, investigations may include ultrasound, CT, MRI, endoscopy or colonoscopy.
Why diagnosis matters: abdominal pain has many possible causes, so treatment should be selected according to the underlying condition rather than the symptom alone.
Depending on the diagnosis, medicines may be used for conditions such as gastritis, infections or symptom control.
Dietary and lifestyle changes may form part of treatment for selected digestive conditions and chronic symptoms.
Endoscopy may be used for diagnosis and, in selected conditions, for minimally invasive treatment inside the digestive tract.
Surgery may be required for specific conditions such as appendicitis, gallstones or hernias when clinically indicated.
Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions and specialized instruments to treat selected abdominal conditions. The original page lists gallbladder removal, appendectomy, hernia repair and bowel obstruction surgery among procedures performed laparoscopically when appropriate.
The actual approach depends on the condition, anatomy, clinical findings and surgeon's assessment.
Chronic abdominal pain requires attention to the underlying cause. Depending on the diagnosis, management may involve dietary changes, medicines, symptom management, follow-up and, when appropriate, treatment of structural problems such as hernias or gallstones.
Persistent or recurrent abdominal pain should be evaluated, especially if the pattern changes or new symptoms develop.
