What does «dolor abdominal» mean in Spanish?
- Abdominal pain, also known as stomach pain, is a symptom associated with both serious and non-serious medical problems. The pain felt in the area between the chest and groin. Common causes of pain in the abdomen include gastroenteritis and irritable bowel syndrome. About 10% of people have a more serious underlying condition, such as appendicitis, leaking or ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, diverticulitis, or ectopic pregnancy. In one-third of cases, the exact cause is unclear. Since a variety of diseases can cause some form of abdominal pain, a systematic approach to examining an individual and formulating a differential diagnosis remains important.
