History and physical examination are often adequate to make a disposition in patients with minor complaints; in other cases, testing is necessary. Using open-ended, interview-style questions, the physician identifies the location and quality of symptoms and any aggravating and alleviating factors. Abdominal pain is a frequent GI complaint. Determining the location of the pain can help with the diagnosis. For example, pain in the epigastrium may reflect problems in the pancreas, stomach, or small bowel. Pain in the right upper quadrant may reflect problems in the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts such as cholecystitis or hepatitis. Pain in the right lower quadrant may indicate inflammation of the appendix, terminal ileum, or cecum, suggesting appendicitis, ileitis, or Crohn disease. Pain in the left lower quadrant may indicate diverticulitis or constipation. Pain in either the left or right lower quadrant may indicate colitis, ileitis, or ovarian (in women) etiologies. #gastrointestinalhealth #abdominalpain #lecture Professor Armen Astvatsatryan, MD, PhD, ScD, FESC.
