What Causes Persistent Mild Pain In Abdomen?

I have a dull ache in my abdomen. It is there all the time and I even have it upon waking in the morning. It is a "1" on the pain scale of 1-10. When I eat (anything), it goes to a "2" on the pain scale. Not debilitating in the least but annoying. I have had this for 2 months.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent mild pain in abdomen. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to certain reasons like diarrhea , gastroenteritis , acid reflux , kidney infection , stress , lactose intolerance or hernia. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may examine by ordering ultrasound , stool test or endoscopy . Doctor may also examine physically by checking neture of pain and its position . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , anti inflammatory , proton pump inhibitor or laxative . Doctor may also refer you to nephrologist in case of kidney problem . For now avoid eating heavy and spicy food , avoid nuts and sea food , eat small and frequent meals and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
