Acute pain occurs, as a rule, due to ruptures of tissues, internal bleeding or severe blockage of blood vessels.
The localization of pain is also different. Depending on its location, specialists diagnose certain diseases. For example, if there is pain in the lower right abdomen, it is likely to determine appendicitis or pathology of the female genital organs. If pain is observed under the ribs in the right side, then this is most likely a sign of disorders in the biliary system, liver, duodenum, or part of the intestine.
