4. Quadrant pain

When you experience pain in the abdomen, it can generally be divided into different zones. Doctors have divided the abdomen into four quadrants: the right upper quadrant, containing the liver and gallbladder; the left upper quadrant, containing the stomach and duodenum; the right lower quadrant, containing the appendix; and the left lower quadrant, which contains a part of the colon. It is important to locate the source of the pain in order to make a precise diagnosis. For example, if you are experiencing pain in the lower quadrant, this could be caused by you appendix.
