Brief Answer:
Please take some antispasmodic agent and visit your doctor for physical examination at the earliest

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thanks for putting your query in HCM.
I am Dr Amit Jain, a Gastroenterologist.


Pain in right side lower part may be due to colon that is large intestine or terminal end of the small intestine. It may be intestinal colic or some lesion in these part of intestine like inflamatiion, infection or some malignancy.


If you have any other symptoms like fever, weight loss , loss of apetite or any blood in stool or anemia, then definitely you require investigations in the form of ultrasound abdomen and colonoscopy examination.

However I will suggest you to visit your doctor for physical examination and if required tests also especially due to your age even if you dont have any of the symptoms.

Meanwhile continue with Miralax and take some antispasmodic agent like Drotavarine for pain.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you.

Wish you a good health.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Adhesion usually develops after any surgery in abdomen

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back. Sorry for delay

Usually adhesion develops after any surgery in abdomen. But you havent mentioned after any surgery on you

If you have undergone any surgery in the past then there is possibility of adhesion , which you can confirm by simply getting a xray abdomen in standing position. There will be dilated bowel loops and air fluid levels.

Wish you a good health
