What is abdominal pain?

Abdominal pain may occur in the upper or lower abdomen, on one side or more diffusely throughout the abdomen. The pain may be aching, sharp, cramping or come in waves.

The location of the pain, how it started and any other symptoms you have may provide information about the cause.

Common symptoms associated with abdominal pain

Abdominal pain may occur together with:
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhoea or constipation
Fever
Bloating and excess gas
Reduced appetite
Heartburn or acid reflux
Pain when urinating
Feeling generally unwell
The symptoms vary depending on the cause.

Common causes of abdominal pain

Abdominal pain may be caused by:
Stomach infection or food poisoning
Constipation
Irritable bowel syndrome
Food intolerance
Heartburn or a stomach ulcer
Urinary tract infection
Appendicitis
Inflammation or another gastrointestinal condition
Abdominal pain may also originate from the urinary tract, pelvic organs or other organs. The doctor will therefore assess all your symptoms together.

Abdominal pain with a diagnosed bowel condition

People with a diagnosed bowel condition, such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, can contact a doctor if they develop new or worsening abdominal symptoms.

The doctor can assess your general condition, whether blood tests are needed and whether you should contact your treating specialist or a hospital. Easy Clinic does not replace your regular specialist follow-up, but can provide an initial assessment of new or acute symptoms.

Abdominal pain caused by endometriosis

Endometriosis can cause severe menstrual pain, pain in the lower abdomen and recurring pain. Some people also experience pain during intercourse or bowel movements, nausea and bloating.

The doctor can perform an initial assessment, consider the need for pain relief and determine whether a referral is appropriate. Easy Clinic does not provide specialist gynaecological assessment, but can refer you for further evaluation if needed.

When should you contact a doctor?

Contact a doctor if:
The pain is severe or becoming worse
The pain persists or keeps returning
You have a fever or feel generally unwell
You are vomiting repeatedly
You have persistent diarrhoea or constipation
You notice blood in your stool
You are losing weight without a known reason
You are pregnant or may be pregnant

Severe abdominal symptoms

Seek urgent medical help if you develop:
Sudden or very severe abdominal pain
A rigid and very tender abdomen
Vomiting blood or passing large amounts of blood in the stool
Black, tar-like stools
Fainting, confusion or feeling severely unwell
Severe pain after an injury
Abdominal pain together with difficulty breathing or chest pain
Contact the public out-of-hours medical service on 116 117 if the problem cannot wait. Call 113 if the condition appears life-threatening or is worsening rapidly.

Examination and treatment

The doctor will ask where the pain is located, when it started and whether you have a fever, nausea, changes in bowel movements or other symptoms.

If necessary, the doctor may:
Examine and palpate your abdomen
Measure your temperature and other vital signs
Assess whether a urine sample or blood tests are needed
Assess whether medication is needed
Assess whether you need a sick note
Refer you for diagnostic imaging, to a specialist or to a hospital
Treatment depends on the cause. Some abdominal symptoms resolve on their own, while others require treatment or further investigation.
