Lower abdominal pain causes(right, left, both sides, center or pelvic indicated by R, L, B, C, P)

Appendicitis - RC
Cancer - RLCP
Crohn's Disease - LC
Diverticulitis - RLB
Ectopic pregnancy - RL
Endometriosis - CRLBP
Inguinal hernia - RLB
Intestinal obstruction - RLC
Injury - RLBCP
Kidney infection - RL
Kidney stones - RLBP
Painful ovulation (mittelschmerz) - RLCP
Ovarian cysts - RL
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) (infection of the female reproductive organs) - CRLP
Pregnancy - CP
Salpingitis (inflammation of the Fallopian tubes) - RL
Seminal vesiculitis (inflammation of the seminal vesicles) - RLBP
Shingles - RL
Thoracic aortic aneurysm - LC

Unfortunately, some of the above causes are not well localized and the patients only say the pain is "'everywhere." A significant number of patients have this diffuse pain and yet may have a cause that is usually localized in other patients (for example, appendicitis, diverticulitis and others). However, there are causes that result in diffuse abdominal pain:

Aortic aneurysm
Bloating
Gas
Gastroenteritis
Intussusception
Irritable bowel disease (IBD)
Mesenteric ischemia
Mesenteric lymphadenitis
Peritonitis
Pregnancy (unknown to patient but delivering!)
Sickle cell anemia
Ulcerative colitis
Uremia.

I hope you happy with information kindly rate it. thank you.
