Understanding Abdominal Pain: When to See a Surgeon
Abdominal pain that is severe, recurring, associated with vomiting, fever, swelling, jaundice, or inability to pass stool or gas should not be ignored. A specialist evaluation helps identify whether the cause is medical, endoscopic, or surgical.
Common surgical causes include appendicitis, gallstones, hernia complications, intestinal obstruction, perforation, and abdominal infection. Early diagnosis can reduce the risk of emergency surgery and support safer treatment planning.
