Tip from the doc

Abdominal pain website meine-bauchstelle.de

One of the most common issues in paediatric practices is abdominal pain. Many children are repeatedly affected by this - without there being a real cause for the pain. There is a world-class website for affected families: www.meine-bauchstelle.de

One of the most frequent topics in paediatric practices is abdominal pain. There is already a "tip from the doctor" about this - which points out, among other things, that of all children and adolescents who present with abdominal pain, three quarters do not have a serious illness. It is then not possible to make a real diagnosis. In the past, the term "growing pains" was used, today it is referred to as functional abdominal pain, which in principle describes the same thing.

It is very important for parents to know that the pain is not imaginary, it is real, but there is no relevant organic cause in the body. This is often difficult for children and families to understand and endure.

And now for the actual tip: there is a world-class website on this subject called "meine Bauchstelle". The paediatric pain clinic in Datteln has created this site. This site is highly recommended to all parents and families for whom the topic of abdominal pain in children keeps popping up. The site can be a great help: www.meine-bauchstelle.de.
