Abdominal pain can be caused by many problems, and some of them are life threatening. You need to know what to look for and how to deal with it to remain healthy.
The abdomen contains many organs, and some of them can cause pain. Dealing with abdominal pain means knowing the general vicinity of these organs and what type of pain might be causing the problem.
Appendicitis: The pain may start near the belly button, then travel down to the lower right side of the abdomen. You may feel like you need to go the bathroom, or a bit of indigestion as well. This is not something to treat at home. Don’t eat or drink anything and go to the emergency room. A ruptured appendix could kill you.
