Question
Hello doctor,
I am 17 years old. Last night, I had a stomach ache, but after going to the toilet, it didn't help. I felt there was a problem, so I went online and found out that I had abdominal pain in the lower right abdomen that completely coincides with the colon. I thought I might have colitis but I found out that colon disease is mainly 40 or older and drink a lot of alcohol. All night last night, I still felt a sharp pain in that spot but this morning I did not feel the pain anymore. So the doctor asked me if the pain in the lower right abdomen is okay? Should I go to the doctor, doctor? I thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is the pain in the lower right abdomen okay? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa is a phrase that any doctor hears and is startled many times. The right iliac fossa has many organs, from the outside and is skin, fascia, muscle, peritoneum (peritoneum), ureter, cecum, ileum, ascending colon, right ovary, right fallopian tube and especially the appendix. When one of these organs is ill, it will manifest with pain and other accompanying symptoms.
Appendicitis is a common disease, this is a surgical emergency requiring immediate examination and intervention, it develops acutely and may rupture after 24 hours, causing generalized peritonitis, infection, Intoxication can lead to death.
Not all appendicitis is painful in the right iliac fossa due to some abnormal anatomy but if you have abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa the first thing to think about is appendicitis no matter how painful its symptoms are .
