Stomach pain can be caused by a variety of different medical conditions.
This article briefly discusses several of them, along with other aspects of this type of sensation.
To begin, this particular feeling is also known by names such as abdominal pain and stomach ache.
It is often "self-limited" in nature and benign, however, there are some cases where an emergency may be occurring.
Please remember that the information in this article is not to be used as professional medical advice, nor as a substitute for such.
Please get qualified medical attention if you have reason to suspect that a serious illness or condition is behind the stomach pain that is taking place.
The following potential medical causes are only some of the many that are possible, so a cause may lie outside of these examples.
Liver inflammation is one potential item.
This can come due to a condition such as hepatitis or a liver abscess.
Other inflammatory problems can also lead to stomach pain, some of which include pancreatitis (pancreas), pyelonephritis (kidneys), and cholecystitis (gall bladder).
Issues in the abdominal wall can also cause stomach pain.
One of these is infection of the muscle, while another is trauma or a strain involving the muscle.
Referred pain, or the sensation of pain in a location separate from where the injury or other issue is taking place, is one other possibility.
For instance, radicular pain, that coming from an inflamed nerve root in the spine, can at times be felt in the abdominal area.
