Severe sudden pain or a hard blow to the abdomen is not a reason to book a visit. This page says when to go to the emergency department and what happens there.

This page is not for booking

Sudden abdominal pain and abdominal injury need the emergency department, not an office appointment. If this is happening now, go to the emergency department or call 115 (from outside Iran, your local emergency number).

When should I go at once?

Severe sudden abdominal pain, or pain that keeps getting worse
A hard abdomen that is very painful to touch
Repeated vomiting, or vomiting blood or material like coffee grounds
Black tarry stools or blood in the stool
No passing of wind or stool with bloating and vomiting
Abdominal pain with fever and chills, or with jaundice
A hard, painful bulge that will not go back
Fainting, breathlessness or chest pain with abdominal pain
Severe abdominal pain in pregnancy

A blow to the abdomen

After a road accident, a fall or a hard blow, internal injury may take hours to show. Even if you see no wound, get checked after a hard blow to the abdomen. Bruising of the abdomen, growing pain, dizziness, paleness or blood in the urine are reasons to go at once. If an object has gone into the body, do not pull it out.

Until you reach the emergency department

Do not eat or drink, because you may need surgery
Do not take strong painkillers unless the medical team says so
Take someone with you and do not drive
Bring your medicine list, especially any blood thinners

What happens there?

The doctor takes your history and examines you. Blood tests, an ultrasound or a CT scan help find the cause. Some patients are only observed and some need surgery. This depends on the cause and on how you are.

After the emergency department

If you need a surgeon for follow-up or wound care after discharge, bring your reports and imaging.
