Abdominal pain has numerous potential causes ranging from benign and self-limiting to life-threatening emergencies. Common causes include gastroenteritis, appendicitis, gallbladder inflammation, pancreatitis, kidney stones, intestinal obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, peptic ulcers, and sometimes gynecological conditions in women. For travelers, digestive system adjustments to different foods, water, bacteria, and stress frequently trigger abdominal discomfort. Symptoms warranting prompt medical attention include severe pain, pain lasting more than a few hours, fever, bloody stools, persistent vomiting, abdominal distention, or signs of dehydration. Diagnosis involves thorough history, physical examination, and often laboratory tests (blood count, liver and pancreatic enzymes, urinalysis) and imaging studies (ultrasound, CT scan, or X-rays). Treatment depends entirely on the underlying cause, ranging from simple dietary modifications and medications for minor issues to hospitalization and surgical intervention for serious conditions. Mexican tourist destinations have emergency and gastroenterology services familiar with common traveler ailments, often providing faster access to specialists and imaging studies than patients might experience in US emergency departments, with significantly lower costs for both evaluation and treatment.
