What causes lower abdominal pain in the right side?
Patient: hi.. well i have been having stomach ache in my lower abdomen since almost two years now.. earlier i thought there might be some gynaecological problem, so ai got ultra sound done twice and got checked by two difeerent doctors, but both of them said its not because of this.. might be due to the fact that i m fat.. but noe this pain in lower abdomen is like occuring after every half an hor.. if i walk fast or anything.. then it feels like paining.. after 7 minutes it becomes normal, again after some time it pains and then it becomes normal. earlier i felt pain in the entire stomach but now from 2-3 days i feel its more towards the right side... what should i do?? Doctor: Hi.When the ultrasonography is normal , the best way is to get a CT scan of the abdomen and colonoscopy because the pain which has centered around the right side can be sue to Typhlitis , coloitis , appendicitis, diverticulitis. Another option is diagnostic laparoscopy and sos procedure. A prior trial with suitable antibiotics and metronidazole should have helped you.
