Abdominal Pain
Alternate Names : Abdominal Cramps, Acute Abdomen, Belly Ache, Pain - Abdomen, Stomach Pain
Definition
Abdominal pain is pain that you feel in the abdominal area (the area between your chest and groin), often referred to as the stomach region or belly. Even when you feel pain there, however, it may originate from somewhere else -- like your chest, pelvic region (the area just below the abdomen that houses the reproductive organs), or a generalized infection affecting many parts of your body (like the flu or strep throat).
