What Is Abdominal Pain?
When you're experiencing abdominal pain, it can be difficult to describe what you're feeling in exact words. Abdominal pain refers to any type of discomfort that develops in the area between the chest and pelvis. In many cases, this pain might work itself out over time. However, if you're struggling with persistent or severe abdominal pain, we urge you to schedule an appointment at WellHealth Medical Associates as soon as possible to uncover the source of your discomfort and begin treatment as soon as possible. Don't take chances with your health — if you're suffering from abdominal pain and looking for relief, contact our office in Rochester Hills or Belleville, MI to set up an appointment.
How Do You Treat Abdominal Pain?
During your appointment, we'll perform a comprehensive examination and discuss any health issues or lifestyle habits that might be causing your abdominal pain. We may also take x-rays or conduct a blood panel to help our staff identify any potential sources of discomfort (like abdominal growths). For more complex cases, we may refer you to a gastrointestinal doctor for testing, which may include ultrasound imaging, a CT scan, a colonoscopy, or esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Using our findings, we'll develop a treatment plan to help address the underlying issue so you can get relief. Common treatments for abdominal pain include prescription medication, lifestyle modifications, or chronic care management at our practice in Rochester Hills or Belleville, MI.
What Are the Causes of Abdominal Pain?
There are many potential causes of abdominal pain, and they can vary based on whether you're experiencing discomfort in the upper or lower abdomen. Some of the more well-known causes of abdominal pain include:
- Constipation
- Acid reflux
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Stomach viruses
- Diverticulitis
- Crohn's disease
- Ulcerative colitis
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome
WellHealth Medical Associates Reviews
Highly recommend this facility. Entire staff was efficient and knowledgeable. The doctor was the best I've been to in years he was patient and kind explaining and answering all my concerns. Making this my primary care for sure.
I’ve been going here for years now. Dr. Murthy is a great doctor. Always looks out for my best interest. Only thing I’ve ever had a problem with is getting called on Friday night for video when my appt was on a Wednesday. But I understand there’s only 2 providers and a lot of patients. Other than that they helped me with a lot. Thank you guys
He's an extremely smart doctor very well educated I'd recommend him to anyone
I have been a patient at Wellhealth for years now…I am always well taken care of, no matter what the reason of my visit. Staff has always been beyond great, even new faces…but Sarah is the secret sauce to this office. I appreciate everyone here and strongly recommend this office.
Dr. Murthy is incredibly knowledgeable in treating even the most complicated health issues. I have multiple autoimmune problems and since I’ve started seeing him, he has given me my life back! He is very understanding and compassionate and his superior knowledge in rare diseases make it so easy to talk to him and get the best treatments. I never believed it was possible for me to have a life without pain and I am forever grateful to him for giving me that! His PA Dr. Olivia is the best, she is very easy to talk to and very compassionate and knowledgeable as well. The entire staff at this office are amazing 😊 My 3 year old daughter and I are always happy to go in and see everyone! They make you feel very comfortable, like you’re family 😁 This is by far the best Primary Care office I have been to in over 10 years and I’m so blessed to have found them Thank you 🙏
