Types of abdominal pains
While the common stomach ache constitutes a benign and completely reversible condition (sometimes even spontaneously), its pathological variant reflects more serious disorders, such as to even endanger the patient's life. Precisely because of this diversity, it is necessary to shed light on and be able to distinguish moderate to morbid abdominal pain, recognizing which are the spy symptoms that require immediate medical intervention.
Clearly, a single episode of abdominal pain, as well as an abdominal pain that recurs punctually during the menstrual flow, must not be too frightening: in such circumstances, in fact, the stomach ache tends to gradually diminish, in a short period, through simple dietary-behavioral precautions.
Otherwise, an acute or abdominal pain that is concentrated at a specific point in the belly can be a clear warning signal about intestinal or other abdominal organs.
