Frequently asked questions
What are common causes of abdominal pain?
Causes range from gas, constipation, and indigestion to conditions like ulcers, gallstones, or infections — your clinician reviews your specific symptoms to help narrow this down. Your clinician will ask detailed questions about location, timing, and severity to help narrow this down.
When is abdominal pain a medical emergency?
Severe, sudden pain, pain with a rigid or very tender abdomen, persistent vomiting, or pain with fever needs immediate emergency evaluation — these can be signs of appendicitis or another serious condition, not something to manage over video. Don't wait to see if it passes on its own if these signs are present.
Can this visit determine if I have appendicitis?
Your clinician can assess your symptoms and history, but suspected appendicitis typically needs in-person examination and imaging — your clinician will refer you promptly if your symptoms suggest this. Suspected appendicitis is one of the few situations where in-person care can't be substituted.
What can help mild abdominal pain at home?
Rest, hydration, and avoiding trigger or heavy foods can help mild cases while you're being seen, though persistent or worsening pain should prompt a follow-up rather than continued waiting. Avoiding lying down right after eating can also help with mild discomfort.
What side effects are associated with treatments for abdominal pain?
The most common treatments — antacids, antispasmodics, and short-course antibiotics for a bacterial cause — can cause constipation, diarrhea, or mild stomach upset of their own. Your clinician will pick an option based on what's actually driving your symptoms. These effects are generally mild and temporary compared to leaving the underlying cause untreated.
