Abdominal pain and discomfort treatment available online today

There are several potential causes of abdominal pain, including:

• Digestive issues - If you experience belly pain after eating, it may be related to gas, indigestion, or food allergies.

• Inflammation - Irritation or infection in your organs can lead to temporary inflammation and abdominal discomfort.

• The female reproductive cycle - If you have a uterus, you may experience mild abdominal pain from menstrual cramps and ovulation.

If you experience abdominal pain throughout the whole region of your abdomen, you might have a diagnosable medical condition such as:

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

• Crohn's disease

• Urinary tract infection (UTI)

• The flu

• A traumatic injury

Depending on the cause of your abdominal pain, your pain may range from mild to severe. Sometimes, stomach cramps and discomfort can come on suddenly or gradually build up. You might experience chronic abdominal pain or sharp abdominal pain that comes in waves.

The symptoms of abdominal pain may include:

• Mild or severe pain in the abdomen

• Gas or stomach cramps

• Poor appetite

• Diarrhea or constipation

• Bloating

If you're experiencing mild pain and discomfort, over-the-counter medication can ease mild abdominal pain. Some common OTC medications include:

Appendicitis

Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a small pouch on the lower right side of your abdomen. Inflammation can cause pain in the lower right abdomen.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

IBS involves chronic pain anywhere in the abdomen, although it is most commonly reported in the lower abdomen. Eating may make the pain worse, while pain may be relieved during a bowel movement.

Crohn’s disease 

Crohn's disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), causes inflammation of your digestive tract. People with Crohn's disease often experience abdominal pain, weight loss, and diarrhea.

Urinary tract infection

UTIs typically cause bladder-specific symptoms, such as cloudy urine. However, the bacteria can also affect the abdomen, especially the lower abdomen, leading to pressure, pain, and bloating.

Stomach flu

The "stomach flu" (which is different from influenza) can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as diarrhea, stomach pain, and nausea.
