A dull pain in the lower right abdomen may be caused by uterine disorders, such as endometritis, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids. These conditions can irritate surrounding tissues and lead to this symptom. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a gynecological examination and follow medical advice to take medications such as amoxicillin or ceftriaxone to alleviate symptoms. This pain may also result from conditions affecting the right fallopian tube—such as stones or inflammation—or from diseases like cystitis or bladder cancer. If the pain is due to stones, it's advisable to undergo hospital evaluation, follow medical guidance to promote stone expulsion, or receive treatments such as extracorporeal ultrasound wave therapy.
