Where is the pain?
Upper, lower, right, left, central or spread across the abdomen
ENGLISH-SPEAKING MEDICAL ASSESSMENT
New stomach or abdominal pain can have many causes. Contact our medical team to discuss assessment at your hotel, villa or holiday home.
ABDOMINAL PAIN ON HOLIDAY
People often say “stomach pain” for discomfort anywhere in the abdomen. The actual location, timing, severity and associated symptoms help a medical professional consider the possible source.
Digestive upset is common during travel, but abdominal pain should not automatically be attributed to unfamiliar food or a stomach bug.
A useful symptom description is more valuable than guessing the diagnosis. Send the following details when contacting the team.
Upper, lower, right, left, central or spread across the abdomen
Suddenly or gradually, and the exact time it started
Sharp, cramping, burning, aching, pressure or tenderness
Vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, bloating, urinary symptoms or bleeding
Bloating, indigestion, constipation, gastroenteritis and food poisoning can cause abdominal discomfort. Urinary infections, kidney stones and gynaecological conditions may also cause pain, particularly in the lower abdomen. Examination is sometimes needed because symptoms overlap.
Also report pain when the abdomen is touched, collapse, breathing difficulty, chest pain, blood in vomit or stool, black stool, inability to pass urine or stool, pregnancy with pain or bleeding, or persistent vomiting.
When pain occurs with vomiting or diarrhoea, tell the team how often symptoms occur, whether fluids stay down, whether there is fever or blood and whether anyone else who ate the same food is unwell.
See our focused guides for food poisoning and diarrhoea and vomiting.
Burning when urinating, urgency, frequency or cloudy urine may point towards a urinary cause. Read our UTI and cystitis guide and mention any back pain, fever or chills.
The medical professional may ask about meals, bowel movements, urine, medicines, alcohol, previous surgery, menstrual history and pregnancy possibility. Examination and observations may help determine whether further testing or hospital assessment is appropriate.
When appropriate and available, an initial medical assessment can be coordinated at hotels, villas, holiday homes and private addresses in Dalaman and nearby resorts. Some presentations may require tests or facilities beyond a hotel visit.
STOMACH PAIN FAQ
Information about arranging medical assessment for abdominal pain in Dalaman.
Send your exact accommodation location and describe where the pain is, when it started and any accompanying symptoms. When a visit is appropriate and available, the team will confirm timing, details and fee.
Explain the exact location, whether the pain is sharp, cramping, burning or constant, how suddenly it began, whether it moves and what makes it better or worse.
No. Food poisoning often includes diarrhoea, vomiting or nausea, but abdominal pain has many possible digestive, urinary, reproductive and other causes.
Families can contact the team about available care. Include the child’s age, pain location, fever, vomiting, bowel movements, urination, appetite, activity and how long the pain has lasted.
Pregnancy changes how abdominal or pelvic pain is assessed. Clearly state pregnancy or the possibility of pregnancy, particularly if there is bleeding, dizziness or persistent pain.
That depends on the history and clinical findings. Some causes can be managed after a hotel assessment, while others may require blood tests, urine testing, imaging or hospital evaluation.
