Hello Doctor,
I'm feeling pain in my lower right abdomen; can you help me understand what might be causing this discomfort?

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.
