Since the codes for abdominal pain describe symptoms and not specific diagnoses, they are mostly used when a conclusive diagnosis has not yet been determined. These codes may also be used when the abdominal pain symptom occurs alongside a diagnosis that is not typically associated with it, but the code for the main diagnosis should always be recorded first.
ICD-10 codes refer to the codes from the 10th Revision of this classification system . These codes consist of three to seven characters (both letters and numbers).

It can sometimes be felt as a diffuse pain throughout the abdomen. Few of the times it can be pin pointed to particular location on the abdomen.
Abdomen can be divided in two ways, i.e. into 9 regions or 4 quadrants. Understanding the terms ‘Hypo’ that means ‘below’ and ‘Epi’ that means ‘above’ makes it easier to know about the regions [2]. ‘Chondros’ means cartilage and ‘Gastrium’ is stomach.
As you can see in the below images, abdomen is the area between the diaphragm above and the pelvic bones below. Pelvis though learned separately, is a part of abdomen.
The right and left lumbar regions are on the sides of umbilical region and the iliac regions lay over the right and left iliac bones. The quadrants are much easier to understand and remember. Two imaginary planes that pass through the umbilicus (navel) divide the abdomen into 4 quadrants. The meeting point of the planes is at umbilicus (navel) [1].
The right and left hypochondriac regions are just below the cartilaginous parts of the rib cage. The epigastric and hypogastric regions can be explained in relation to the stomach. Umbilical region is the area surrounding the umbilicus (Navel).
Few of the times it can be pin pointed to particular location on the abdomen. However, the diagnosis can be done only after a proper history and examination of the patient. There can be variations in onset of the pain, the character, location, triggering factors, relieving factors or associated features. [7]
