    Abdominal pain is indeed caused by many different reasons, however some specific diseases or conditions cause specific location of pain. Upper abdominal pain that is located on the right, for instance, may suggests gall bladder problems, and on the left it could be a gastric ulcer. Lower abdominal pain on the right side could be appendicitis, and so on.
