A member asked:

What happens if you have abdominal pain (stomach pains), how do you know whether to go to gastroenterology, or gynaecology, or urology?

Primary care: It would be best to go to an internist or to a family physician. An accurate history & physical wiil be done & appropriate testing & if necessary,referral to the appropriate specialist or treatment with no need for referral.Good luck.
