Stomach Pain
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Stomach pain is a very common discomfort in the abdominal area that can range from a mild sensation to intense discomfort. It is not a disease in itself, but a symptom with multiple possible origins.
Common causes: indigestion, gas, digestive infections, stress, or irritation of the gastric lining are usually behind stomach pain.
When to see a doctor? If the pain is very strong, does not let up, or is accompanied by fever, persistent vomiting, or blood, it is worth seeking care without delay.
Which specialist evaluates it? The general practitioner or the family physician is a good first consultation; the emergency physician handles acute conditions and the general surgeon intervenes when a cause requiring it is suspected. Discussing recurrent abdominal pain with a professional helps identify its cause.
