What Causes Right Lower Abdominal Pain After Standing Up And Long Walk?

I have fairly severe pain in my right lower abdomen when I stand up. It started four days ago and the longer I walk the worse the pain gets, to the point where I can no longer walk. I have had two inguinal hernia operations about 5 and ten years ago. One on the right side and one on the left. I am a 53 year old female.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From your history, it seems to me that there is some kind of inflammatory intra-abdominal pathology on the right side of your abdomen which is could be anything from an acute appendicitis to adnexal inflammation or a kind of sub acute obstruction due to adhesion formation of intestines to previous scars. The exact picture could be clear only after a clinical examination of your abdomen preferably by a general surgeon along with other related investigations.

If I were your doctor, with your history of increasing severity of the pain abdomen, I would immediately refer you to a general surgeon of the area, or to the ER of the nearest hospital to avoid any more delay in the treatment. Honestly I would not be able to opine on the exact management over net without examining your abdomen.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
