How Does Histology Help in Understanding Abdominal Pain?
Abdominal pain can be caused by a myriad of conditions, many of which can be identified through histological examination. For example, inflammatory conditions like appendicitis, gastritis, and Crohn's disease involve changes in the tissue structure that are visible under a microscope. Infections, neoplasms, and ischemic conditions often show distinct histological features that help pathologists make an accurate diagnosis.
