What type of doctor should my wife see first for light abdominal pains?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Primary Care Doctor: There are hundreds of causes of abdominal pain which can be narrowed down to a handful by having your primary care doctor take a thorough history of your symptoms, supplemented by a careful physical exam. If necessary, this can be aided by certain tests such as a ct scan or ultrasound. In some cases, they may refer you to a gastroenterologist (stomach specialist) who may recommend endoscopy.
