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?

- Constipation
- Acid reflux
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Stomach viruses
- Diverticulitis
