Specializes in Internal Medicine - gastroenterology

Abdominal pain: The reasons could be anything simple from a muscle spasm in the abdominal wall to problems in the stomach such as an ulcer or a pancreatic or a gallbladder related problem. If this persists or is intermittent, you should talk to your doctor and request an evaluation.
