Hi thanks for asking question.
You might have digestive problem issue and by improper digestion with constipation pain can occur...

Drink more water with fruits.
If need fiber supplement can taken...
Red beetroots that are rich in fiber , potassium etc help in healthy digestion.
The fruit that is easy to digest and having more fiber that is taken like avocados and banana .....
Cooked oatmeal good
Peaches good for digestion that are rich in vitamin c , fiber , iron etc....

If still pain there it could be muscular strain pain also.....

Still cause not clear then yes for further work up USG abdomen done....
And any unusual symptoms occurs then endoscopy might done...

Take care.
