Pain in the abdomen is usually a localised pain. This has mostly to do with a particular organ in that region. Most abdominal pain is caused by ulcer, which is open sores on the lining of the stomach. Other cases are inflamed organs, diarrhoea, constipation, bloating or flatulence.

The abdomen stretches from the chest to the pelvic region and as thus, the abdominal pain can be as a result of a cold or infection in the chest. The pain in this region can be achy, dull, intermittent, or sharp.

Infection in the throat, intestines and blood can affect the digestive tract and cause abdominal pains.

Diseases can also cause severe pain in the abdomen such as crohns disease, irritable bowel syndrome.
