Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
--The pain that your wife has can be a pain from the bowel. If your wife has constipation then it is it and she should take care of the diet.
-- Also if your wife is around 15 days after the first day for last menstrual period, then the pain may come from the ovaries, because its the time of ovulation. Tell her to take an Ibuprofen 400mg after some light food, if that is the case.
-- If she has urinary symptoms, it can be a urinary tract infection.
-- It can also be appendicitis if she has an atypical positioning of it. It is rare but can happen.
For now, please tell your wife to take an Ibuprofen and see if she improves. If worse or not better I would recommend seeing a local doctor because abdominal pains can be very tricky.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
