Hi,
With the question “What is the cause of lower right abdominal pain? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Pain in the lower right abdomen can be a symptom of appendicitis, constipation, inguinal hernia, ureteral stones, ovary inflammation, pelvic pain. To be able to accurately diagnose the cause of the disease, you may need to do blood tests to evaluate for infection, abdominal ultrasound to rule out appendicitis, ureteral stones, ovarian disease. , ... and colonoscopy.
If you have little pain, no fever, you can adjust your nutrition such as eating foods rich in fiber, drinking enough 2.5l of water/day and monitoring. If abdominal pain increases, severe pain, nausea and vomiting, blood in the urine or urine, or fever, you must go to the hospital immediately.
If you still have questions about abdominal pain, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
