Ongoing or recurring pain in the upper or lower abdomen should not be ignored when it persists for weeks, wakes you from sleep, or is associated with weight loss, vomiting, blood in stool, or fever. These features warrant prompt medical assessment.
Common causes range from acid-related disease and gallstones to irritable bowel syndrome, food intolerances, and less often inflammatory or structural problems. A detailed history, examination, and targeted tests help narrow the cause. At Nithya Gastro and Liver Clinic, Dr. B. Varun Rao evaluates digestive symptoms and advises whether endoscopy or imaging is appropriate.
Keeping a brief symptom diary (meals, pain timing, bowel habits) before your visit can make consultation more productive. Do not self-diagnose based on internet lists alone — many conditions share similar symptoms.
