Common causes of right lower abdominal pain in women include appendicitis, gastrointestinal disorders, and gynecological conditions. In appendicitis, patients typically present with right lower abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Gastrointestinal disorders—such as intestinal spasm or bowel obstruction—may also cause right lower abdominal pain. Gynecological conditions commonly responsible include pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or a right ovarian cyst.
