Abdominal pain

Abdominal pain location, timing, and quality narrow the cause: epigastric burning suggests GERD or ulcer; right lower quadrant pain raises appendicitis; right upper quadrant pain after meals suggests gallstones; crampy with diarrhea hints at gastroenteritis or IBS; pelvic pain in women can be ovarian, ectopic, or PID. Clindle evaluates non-emergent abdominal pain over video, orders labs and ultrasound when needed, treats common causes, and refers for in-person exam when red flags appear. Severe, sudden, or rigid abdominal pain is an ER visit.
