The most common causes of right lower abdominal pain in women include gynecological, gastrointestinal, and urinary tract disorders. Gynecological conditions—such as dysmenorrhea, salpingitis, and endometritis—can lead to such pain. Gastrointestinal disorders—including enteritis, appendicitis, and intestinal spasm—may also cause discomfort in this area. Additionally, urinary tract diseases—such as kidney stones or fallopian tube stones—can result in lower abdominal pain in women.
