Why Does My Stomach Hurt?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Pancreatitis
Our pancreas is an organ that helps us to break down some of the foods we eat. In some people, this organ can sometimes become inflamed in a condition known medically as pancreatitis. It can be very painful and can also cause some other symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
Pancreatitis is usually fairly easy to heal and it will often go away without medical help, but severe cases can be dangerous. Another organ that can cause similar problems is the appendix, and appendicitis has the potential to be very dangerous indeed. If you are experiencing severe stomach pain then you should make an appointment to speak with your doctor.
