What is the meaning of the suffix "-dynia"?

Pain
Vomiting
Blood condition
In, within

The correct answer is: Pain

The suffix "-dynia" specifically refers to pain. In medical terminology, it is commonly used to denote discomfort or pain associated with a particular condition or part of the body. For example, "gastrodynia" refers to pain in the stomach. This connection to pain is critical for understanding various medical terms and conditions when billing for services related to pain management or diagnosis. The other provided choices do not accurately reflect the meaning of the suffix "-dynia." While vomiting, blood conditions, and the idea of being within something are important concepts in medical terminology, they do not relate to the concept of pain which is encapsulated by "-dynia."
