Types of abdominal pain

Since your abdomen it is home to many organs, your healthcare provider may want to narrow down the kind of pain you’re having by narrowing down the region you’re feeling it in. Healthcare providers often divide the abdomen into quadrants, or four parts. They may ask if your pain is in the: Upper part / lower part. Upper abdominal pain is above your belly button. Lower abdominal pain is below it. Right side / left side. The midline of your abdomen runs from your sternum through your belly button.
