about abdopain

Welcome to abdopain.com.

We are truly glad to have you here on our site.

Finding trusted, medical information, can be difficult, despite the plethora of websites out there.

Even when you do find one, it can also be difficult to be sure that the information presented there actually relates to your particular medical situation. 

What about being able to get a well qualified doctor’s perspective on your particular symptom (s) or medical condition or indeed just a second opinion discretely, to help answer those nagging questions going through your mind from the comfort of your home or office, or even on the go?

That is where we come in. Abdopain.com is a frequently updated, evidence-based medical website written and reviewed by doctors with many years’ experience in the diagnosis and treatment of common causes of abdominal pain and a wide range of medical conditions. We:

  • Provide up-to-date well researched medical information on common causes of abdominal pain and related conditions here. Because the contents of the website are written by doctors alone, they bring in their experience to bear also in the information provided here from an insider’s perspective for your benefit.

  • Provide personalized medical information for individuals to answer specific abdominal pain related questions they may have free of charge and post same here online.

  • Also provide paid services for those seeking a second opinion on their health related query on any topic and such are not posted online, but by direct communication with them via email.


The information we provide here, including our paid services are for information purposes alone and is not a substitute for a one-to-one consultation with your doctor or healthcare provider, who obviously have access to your whole medical history and would be able to assess you in a more complete way than we could ever.

If you have a medical condition or symptom that requires urgent medical attention, please consult your doctor immediately.
