==Selected Causes==
*Parietal [[peritoneal]] [[inflammation]]
**Due to [[infection]]: inflamed or suppurative [[vermiform appendix|appendix]] in [[appendicitis]], [[pelvic inflammatory disease]]
**Due to chemical irritation: perforated [[gastric ulcer|gastric]] or [[peptic ulcer]]; [[pancreatitis]], [[Mittelschmerz]], ruptured [[ectopic pregnancy]]
**Miscellaneous ([[Familial Mediterranean fever]])
*Inflammation of bowel wall: [[Crohn's disease]], [[ulcerative colitis]], microscopic colitis, [[diverticulitis]], [[gastroenteritis]]
*[[Autoimmune]]: [[sarcoidosis]], [[vasculitis]]
*Mechanical obstruction of hollow viscera such as the [[small intestine]], the [[appendix]] associated with appendicitis, the [[large intestine]] (e.g. by [[intussusception]]), the [[biliary tree]] (e.g. by [[gallstone]]s), or the [[ureter]] (e.g. by urinary calculi)
*[[Blood vessel|Vascular]] disturbances (leading to [[ischemia]]): [[embolism]], [[thrombosis]], vascular rupture, torsional occlusion ([[volvulus]]), [[sickle cell anemia]], left renal vein entrapment, superior mesenteric artery syndrome (nutcracker syndrome)
*[[Abdominal wall]] injury/disruption: mesenteric traction, muscle trauma, muscular infection, [[abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome]] (ACNES), also known as intercostal neuralgia; [[diverticulosis]] (rare)
*[[Digestive]]: [[lactose intolerance]], [[celiac sprue]]
*Distention of visceral surfaces such as the [[hepatic]] or [[renal capsule]]
*[[Referred pain]] from the [[thorax]] ([[pneumonia]], [[myocardial infarction|coronary occlusion]]), the [[vertebral column|spine]] (radiculitis secondary to [[arthritis]]), [[genitals]] ([[testicular torsion]])
*Metabolic disturbance: [[lead poisoning]], Black widow spider bite, [[uremia]], [[diabetic ketoacidosis]], [[porphyria]], C1-esterase inhibitor deficiency, adrenal insufficiency
*Neurogenic pain: [[tabes dorsalis]], [[herpes zoster]], [[Lyme disease]] (Lyme radiculitis or Bannwarth syndrome)
*Functional pain: [[irritable bowel syndrome]] (affecting up to 20% of the population, IBS is the most common cause of recurrent, intermittent abdominal pain)
*Reproductive organs (in women): [[mittelschmerz]], torsion of the ovary, ectopic pregnancy
*[[Pelvic inflammatory disease]]
*[[Endometriosis]]
*Post-surgical [[Adhesion (medicine)|adhesions]]
*[[Diarrhea]]
*[[Meningitis]]

Overview

The causes of abdominal pain vary with the distribution of the pain. The distribution can be determined by various methods, such as abdominal quadrants. Other methods exist that divide the abdomen into nine sections.

Causes Based Upon Location
