Abdominal cramping is a painful condition caused by contractions of the muscles in and around the abdomen. The pain can be acute and sudden or chronic and gradual. Though most cases are caused by minor illnesses, severe cramping can sometimes be a sign of a more serious condition.
In most people, abdominal adhesions do not cause any symptoms. Adhesions that partially block the intestine from time to time can cause intermittent bouts of crampy abdominal pain. More significant intestinal obstruction can cause the following symptoms: 1  Severe, crampy abdominal pain. 2  Nausea and vomiting. 3  Swelling of the abdomen (abdominal distension) 4  Inability to pass gas and absent or infrequent bowel movements.
