Abdominal Pain Specialist in New York, NY – Rosh MFM

Abdominal pain can interrupt daily life and make even simple activities feel difficult. This type of pain may appear suddenly without warning or develop slowly over several months. Many patients describe abdominal pain as persistent, disruptive, and increasingly difficult to ignore over time.

Understanding the Causes of Abdominal Pain

Most gynecologic abdominal pain falls into three general categories that guide evaluation and diagnosis. These categories include inflammation or infection such as pelvic inflammatory disease affecting reproductive organs. Obstruction represents another category and may include ovarian torsion that blocks normal blood flow. Hemorrhagic and vascular issues form the third category and may include a ruptured ovarian cyst.

Abdominal pain may also originate from non gynecologic conditions that affect other organ systems. Conditions such as appendicitis, kidney stones, irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease may cause significant abdominal pain. These conditions may require coordination with additional specialists depending on severity and presentation.

Common gynecologic causes of abdominal pain include dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, dyspareunia, uterine fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Additional causes include pelvic organ prolapse, ruptured ovarian cysts, ovarian torsion, ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and uterine or ovarian cancer.

Non gynecologic causes of abdominal pain often include urinary tract infections, interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Abdominal Pain Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis of abdominal pain begins with a detailed conversation about your symptoms and medical history. Our physicians then proceed with a physical examination and may order imaging such as an ultrasound to evaluate your uterus, ovaries, and surrounding structures.

Lab work helps rule out infection, hormonal imbalances, and other systemic contributors. In some cases, minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopy provide both a definitive diagnosis and a treatment pathway.

Knowing when your pain began, how it has changed over time, and what makes it better or worse all help our physicians narrow down the cause efficiently and accurately.

Signs You Should See a Doctor

Some cases of abdominal pain may improve without treatment, while other situations require immediate medical attention. Contact our office or visit the nearest emergency department if abdominal pain occurs with vomiting, fever, or chills. Seek care if you notice bleeding or any change in vaginal discharge alongside abdominal pain.

Medical evaluation is also important when sharp pain continues after a period of rest. Pain that makes it difficult to breathe, walk, or speak should be addressed without delay.

During pregnancy, some cramping and stretching sensations are expected as the uterus grows and ligaments expand in the second trimester. Sharp or persistent pain during pregnancy always warrants a call to our team. No concern is too small, and we would always rather hear from you early.

Management and Treatment of Abdominal Pain

Treatment depends entirely on the underlying cause. Our physicians consider a full range of options, including pain medication, hormone therapy, antibiotics, and minimally invasive surgical procedures.

Conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts often respond well to laparoscopic surgery, which minimizes recovery time and preserves surrounding tissue. Our goal is always to resolve the root cause, not simply manage discomfort temporarily.

Abdominal Pain Q & A

Q.

What causes abdominal pain?

A.

Abdominal pain is a nonspecific symptom that can arise from many different health conditions and injuries. Most gynecologic abdominal pain, however, is one of three general types:

  • Inflammation or infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease
  • An obstruction, such as ovarian torsion, that blocks blood flow
  • Hemorrhagic or vascular issues, such as a ruptured ovarian cyst

When you schedule an examination for abdominal pain, your doctor at Rosh Maternal & Fetal Medicine assesses the location, type, severity, and frequency of your pain. It helps to know whether your pain occurs at the same time during your menstrual cycle, appears suddenly, or has persisted for several months.

Q.

What are the most common sources of abdominal pain?

A.

Some of the most frequent causes of abdominal pain, such as appendicitis, diverticulitis, gastritis and kidney stones, aren’t treated by gynecologists. Other non-gynecologic conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease may cause gynecologic complications.

Common gynecologic causes of abdominal pain include:

  • Dysmenorrhea
  • Endometriosis
  • Dyspareunia
  • Uterine fibroids
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Ruptured ovarian cysts
  • Ovarian torsion
  • Ruptured ectopic pregnancy
  • Uterine or ovarian cancer

Common non-gynecologic causes of lower abdominal pain include:

  • Urinary tract infection
  • Interstitial cystitis
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Inflammatory bowel disease

Q.

What type of abdominal pain occurs during pregnancy?

A.

When you’re pregnant, some types of abdominal pain are expected. You may experience cramping as the uterus expands. During the second trimester, ligaments that support the uterus stretch, which can result in sharp pain on one or both sides of your abdomen.

Even though some pains are normal, sharp pain may also signal a serious problem. Never hesitate to call Rosh Maternal & Fetal Medicine if you’re concerned about pain while you’re pregnant. Be sure to call right away when your symptoms include:

  • Vomiting
  • Fever
  • Chills
  • Bleeding
  • Change in vaginal discharge
  • Sharp pain that continues after resting
  • Pain that makes it hard to breathe, walk, or speak

Q.

How is abdominal pain treated?

A.

Treatment of pain depends on the underlying cause of your abdominal pain. Your doctor at Rosh Maternal & Fetal Medicine has many treatment options to consider. You may need pain medication, hormone therapy, or antibiotics. Your doctor may recommend minimally-invasive surgery to treat conditions like cysts, fibroids, and endometriosis.
