Abdominal pain

Pain in the belly area

Abdominal pain is discomfort or pain in the belly area, between the chest and pelvis. It can feel like cramping, aching, or sharp pain. Causes can include simple things like gas, indigestion, or constipation, as well as more serious issues like appendicitis, gallstones, or infections. Depending on the cause, the pain might stay in one spot or spread across the belly. If the pain is severe or doesn’t go away, it’s important to see a doctor to find out what’s causing it.
