Right side abdominal pain radiating to lower part could be due to ovarian cyst(likely in your case)or choleycystitis,etc.
You can go for complete blood works,electrolytes and abdominal ultrasound for confirm diagnosis,
Meanwhile you should take antibiotics with anaerobic bacterial coverage with antacids like proton pump inhibitors or digene and avoid oily,spicy,heavy foods.
If problem persists then you need to see gastroenterologist and gynecologist.
