Millions of Americans suffer from abdominal pain each year, although the kind of pain depends on the underlying cause. Consistent abdominal pain may be a symptom of many conditions, including:
• Crohn's Disease
• Heartburn
• Pancreatitis
Because there are many different symptoms associated with abdominal pain, it is often difficult to diagnose the cause. If you've already talked to your doctor but still aren't sure what is causing your abdominal pain, you may want to consider seeking a second medical opinion.
Securing a second opinion is valuable for your health and has never been easier. The Johns Hopkins Gastroenterology and Hepatology Remote Second Opinion Program lets you seek a medical second opinion from the comfort of your own home-without spending time or money on traveling. This service provides expert recommendations on the causes and treatment options of several gastrointestinal symptoms and conditions, including abdominal pain.
