What Causes Pain In Lower Abdomen?

Hi Dr, I have been having this sharp piercing pain around my lower abdomen just close to my navel, which seems to radiate down to d point around my genital. This comes and goes away but can be felt when ever I sit down and sometimes when I stand. The confusion is I had an appendicetomy when I was barely 17 yes and 17yrs later I begin to have these pains. What could possibly be wrong with me?
