What Causes Severe Lower Abdominal Pains?

Hi, I am getting severe pain in the lower right part of my stomach. I got myself checked for apendicitis and the doc said the appendix looks fine. But he did ask me whether i am able to use the restroom as normal. I feel the pain is because of the ileocecal valve. Need your help.

Hi,
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

Great to know that you think of the ileo-caecal valve. Well, this does never cause a pain as such.

I would advise you the following in a case where the symptoms of right lower abdomen pain are present and can be due to ::
Typhlitis, meaning inflammation of the start of the large bowel.
Mass of lymph nodes.
Right ureteric stone.
Right tubal or ovarian problems ( if you are a female patient- sex not mentioned here).

I would advise you the following:
First of all get a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotics and symptomatic treatment .
If no relief within 5 days go for the tests of :
Blood,
Urine,
Stool, CT scan of the abdomen and other relevant tests>

These will guide us for a proper diagnosis and management . '
