What Causes Constipation And Abdominal Pain On The Right Side?

hey. so i haven t had a bowel movement in about 4-5 days and that is very unusual which i have them everyday. i have had pains, sharp pains, on the right side of my abdomen. i don t know if this is severe or if i just need a lax. older women in my family have had to have their gallbladders removed for it being infected or folded. im only 16 and my mother is about to go into surgery to get hers removed. its folded. and i fear that i may have to face that one day. so i need help on its identification. thank you.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Ovulation pain occurs on either the right or left side of the lower abdomen, and can be quite sharp, like appendicitis pain. But the constipation starts before the abdominal pain, unlike when you have appendicitis, though constipation is sometimes a symptom of appendicitis. You need to get an ultrasound examination of the abdomen, and get examined by a Gastroenterologist.
