Stomach pain is a vague term. To determine the cause of the pain, it is important to know when it started, where in the abdomen the pain is, and the nature of the pain (sharp, dull, etc). Abdomenal pain may be due to a gynecological (“female”) problem or due to a gastro-intestinal problem. Such things as a stomach virus, gas, constipation, or heartburn can cause discomfort. Female issues, like PMS or vaginal infections may be the cause of discomfort.
If your partner continues to have stomach pain, she should follow up with her family doctor for evaluation. If her pain would become more severe, especially with the presence of fever, vomiting or diarrhea, then a visit to the nearest emergency room is recommended.
