10. Tenderness

Tenderness in the abdomen is pain that occurs when your abdomen is pressed in a certain part. If the abdomen is tender this could be a sign of a problem with one or more organs in the affected area. These organs can include the kidney or the liver, for example. If you experience tenderness in the abdomen, it is recommended to consult your doctor as soon as possible. Other causes of tenderness include blocked organs, such as the fallopian tubes or even the colon. In some cases, abdominal tenderness may be considered a medical emergency as it may be caused by inflammation of the organs.
