Abdominal discomfort: Persistent abdominal discomfort, especially if there is associated tenderness, warrants an examination by a physician. Depending upon what portion of the abdomen has the discomfort or tenderness you could be dealing with appendicitis, gall bladder inflammation,pancreatitis,peptic ulcer,gastritis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. If severe distress, go to the hospital emergency room for prompt care
