What causes abdominal pain?

Abdominal pain can result from temporary conditions like constipation, food intolerances, and indigestion. You might also experience pain if you strain abdominal muscles during strenuous workouts or by lifting heavy objects.

Long-lasting abdominal pain may be a symptom of a chronic condition that affects the kidneys, liver, or other abdominal organs. In females, abdominal pain might be a side effect of endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or ovarian cysts.

NewMed Immediate Care offers comprehensive care for adults and children who have acute or chronic abdominal pain. The office features advanced technologies to accurately diagnose the source of the pain so the skilled medical team can determine which treatments you might need.
