Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER.  Many things can be the cause of your abdominal pain. Here's are some of the causes:

 

  • Crohn's disease
  •  

  • Diabetic ketoacidosis (high levels of ketones in the blood)
  •  

  • Diverticulitis
  •  

  • Injury
  •  

  • Intestinal obstruction
  •  

  • Intussusception (in children)
  •  

  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  •  

  • Lead poisoning
  •  

  • Mesenteric lymphadenitis (swollen lymph nodes in the folds of membrane that hold the abdominal organs in place)
  •  

  • Pancreatitis (pancreas inflammation)
  •  

  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) (infection of the female reproductive organs)
  •  

  • Peritonitis (infection of the abdominal lining)
  •  

  • Sickle cell anemia
  •  

  • Strained or pulled abdominal muscle
  •  

  • Thoracic aortic aneurysm
  •  

  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Appendicitis
  • The only way to know what is causing this pain, is seeing your doctor and having imaging test done.

    Best,

    Daisy
