Don't ignore my point though: "colic" is always singular in Engllish.

abdominal cramps / colics

Hola kuatroka, bienvenid@ a ProZ

"Abdominalgia cólica" es un término algo esotérico (que no se encuentra en textos médicos) para decir "dolor [abdominal] cólico", o "cólicos". (En realidad, los cólicos son un tipo de dolor que ocurre siempre en el abdomen).

Good luck

Elena

Kuatroka,

Como bien señala Richard, the correct word (without typos) is \"COLIC\"

Gracias, Nora
neutral Richard Benham : "colic" is never used in the plural in English

You're right - I got an extra "s". It's colic!

Spanish term (edited): abdominalgia c�lica

abdominal colic

"Strictly speaking, the term abdominal pain covers all forms of pain (aches, cramps, colic, etc.) felt between diaphragm and groin; it therefore includes 'stomach ache', although pain due to ailments of the upper parts of the digestive tract - stomach, duodenum, pancreas, gall bladder, and liver - is likely to be felt in the upper abdomen, behind the lower ribs or between the ribs and the navel."

http://www.drlockie.com/disease/abpain.htm

"Main presenting symptom is intermittent, inconsolable crying with asymptomatic periods. Frequently have mental status changes with lethargy between episodes of abdominal colic. "

Peer comment(s):

agree Richard Benham : Although, as Elena says, colic is always abdominal, and so you could just say "colic".
