Abdominal pain can be sharp, dull, or burning. It can also cause many additional effects, including loss of appetite. Severe pain can sometimes make you feel too sick to eat.
The reverse can also be true. Loss of appetite and not eating can lead to abdominal pain. Loss of appetite happens when you lose the desire to eat during typical meal or snack times.
A variety of lifestyle habits and conditions can cause abdominal pain and loss of appetite.
What causes abdominal pain and loss of appetite?
Your abdomen houses many organs, including your stomach, intestines, kidneys, liver, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, and appendix. Abdominal pain may be related to problems with one or more of these organs. Sometimes abdominal pain and loss of appetite have mental causes, rather than physical ones. For example, stress, anxiety, grief, or depression can potentially cause these symptoms.
