Abdominal Pain
Abdominal Pain
Your abdomen is considered much more than just your stomach, as it includes several vital organs within the area just below your chest to your groin. Essentially, this means that pain in your abdomen can originate from any one of these, so it’s important to pay attention to symptoms.
Abdominal Pain Symptoms & Causes
Abdominal pain can indicate several medical problems ranging from mild to severe, depending on other symptoms you may be experiencing.
