Abdominal pain

Abdominal pain is any pain felt between your chest and groin. This is often referred to as the stomach region or belly. Pain can originate from any of the many organs within the abdomen, including:

• Digestive organs (the end of the esophagus, the stomach, the small and large intestines, the liver, the gallbladder and the pancreas)
• The aorta
• The appendix
• The kidneys
• The spleen

However, the pain may start from somewhere else, like your chest or pelvic area. You may also have a generalized infection, such as the flu or strep throat, that affects many parts of your body.
