What causes right lower abdominal pain in women?
Disease description:
Today, while out shopping with friends, I started feeling pain in the lower right side of my abdomen. I was wondering—what could cause lower right abdominal pain in women?
Right lower abdominal pain in women may have various causes. 1. It could be due to pain caused by follicular fluid irritating the fallopian tube and uterine walls after the mature follicle ruptures during ovulation, commonly occurring during the ovulation period following menstruation. 2. Pelvic inflammatory disease is another common cause, in which bacterial infection of the pelvic cavity leads to inflammation and results in lower abdominal pain. Additionally, gastrointestinal conditions such as appendicitis or ulcerative colitis may also cause pain in the right lower abdomen. Furthermore, a stone in the right ureter can lead to pain in the right flank and abdomen. Women experiencing right lower abdominal pain should seek timely medical evaluation, undergo appropriate diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause, and receive targeted treatment accordingly.
