What Causes Abdominal Pain?

I found this spot right around where I think this point should be and when I push my finger on it there is a sharp pain my abdomen also is very sensitive to touch if I touch my abdomen I feel nauseous especially in my upper abdomen. I also am having awfully painful bowel movements and I keep hearing these like bubbles in my stomach, could this be appendicitis?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

Understood your symptoms and they do not fit into the description of appendicitis. Well the best way is to get investigated.
Blood, urine and stool check-up.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen.
A 5 day course of an antibiotic. probiotic and metronidazole.

And see the response. If no response you can go for further investigations like CT scan / Enteroclysis and so on.

If the overlying skin is also sensitive like you have said, this local parasthesia can be due to nerve compression, usually at a spinal level and get an MRI of the spine to get a probable diagnosis and proper treatment.

I find this answer helpful
