Abdominal Pain and its Causes

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Possible Causes of Lower Right Abdominal Pain:

Appendicitis:

Inflammation of the appendix may lead to sharp pain in the lower right abdomen.

Gastrointestinal Issues:

Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) could contribute to abdominal discomfort.

Reproductive System Concerns:

Issues with the ovaries or fallopian tubes in females, such as ovarian cysts or ectopic pregnancy, may cause pain in this area.

Muscle Strain:

Strained muscles in the abdominal region, perhaps due to physical activity or injury, could result in localized pain.

Urinary Tract Problems:

Infections or issues with the urinary tract might manifest as pain in the lower abdomen.

Thanks
