Book excerpt: Abdominal pain is a common symptom that can stem from a wide array of causes, making it a significant concern for many individuals seeking medical attention. This discomfort, which can range from mild to severe, might be acute, occurring suddenly and intensely, or chronic, persisting over a long period. The abdominal region, encompassing everything from the lower ribs to the pelvis, houses numerous vital organs, including the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys. Consequently, pain originating from this area can be complex, with a broad differential diagnosis depending on the organ involved and the nature of the pain.
