Suggest Treatment For Slight Pain In Lower Abdomen

Right now i am having slight pain in my lower abdomen. My stomach has been hurting since yesterday when i got up in the morning. It wasnt hurting that bad. it was tolerable so i just took some motrin and went on with my day. After being awake for probably 5 or 6 hours, the pain started getting worse. It went from tolerable to unbearable in about 5-10 minutes. The severe pain probably lasted somewhere between 30min to an hour. I was in so much pain that i didnt even notice how long it was. I was almost crying in pain. I laid in my bed and i was doubled over in pain. I could hardly move and it hurt to breathe. It eventually went away after 30 minutes or so but it hurt so bad. It was the worst pain i had ever felt. I was so close to calling 911. The only reason that i didnt was because when i was thinking about calling 911, the pain was starting to get a little better. The severe pain lasted from 30 min to an hour and when it started to calm down it went from unbearable to tolerable again in about 5-10 minutes. I still have a slight pain right now but its nothing too bad. Im just scared that it might happen again. Anybody have any idea what that might have been. The severe pain is gone now so should i still be worried. And by the way I dont have a fever, im not throwing up, and i dont have any other symptoms. And im and 18 year old female if that helps with anything. Should i still go to the doctor because the pain im feeling now isnt really bothering me. Thanks for any help.

hi.

observation may be done for now, especially if the pain has subsided. also, do you have menses, or in midcycle, when you experienced that pain or none? if there's any recurrence, you might want to have a consult with a gynecologist. possible causes of your lower abdominal pain are infection (UTI), gynecologic or gastrointestinal in nature. physical examination is warranted and diagnostic evaluation (such as ultrasound) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
