Overview
A stomach ache, also known as abdominal pain or abdominal discomfort,
refers to any pain or discomfort felt in the area between the chest and
the pelvis. The abdomen contains various organs, including the stomach,
intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and kidneys, so abdominal pain
can stem from a wide range of causes. Stomach aches can vary in
intensity, duration, and location, and they may be accompanied by other
symptoms depending on the underlying cause.
