10 Stomach Pain Causes

5. Appendicitis

Appendicitis is one of the most painful causes of stomach pain. Appendicitis affects kids and young adults, although it can also happen to anyone regardless of the age. The most common symptom of appendicitis is a sharp pain that will start at the middle part of the abdomen and will move towards the lower right area. In most people, the pain usually starts in the navel area and moves to the other parts of the abdomen. This is usually accompanied by fatigue and fever.

Appendicitis is usually due to the inflammation and infection of the appendix. Surgery is almost always necessary.  If the inflammation worsens, the pain could get very severe and the appendix might burst. This can lead to sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition.
