Abdominal pain is a very common reason for seeking medical attention, often leading individuals to visit TotalCare ERs. Understanding the different types of abdominal pain, their potential causes, and when to seek emergency care is crucial for maintaining overall health.
Abdominal pain can be broadly categorized into generalized and localized pain. Generalized pain, felt in more than half of the belly, is common for issues like stomach viruses, indigestion, or gas though more serious and severe issues can be present. On the other hand, localized pain in a specific area may indicate problems with organs such as the appendix, gallbladder, kidney, or stomach.
