What Causes Sharp Pain In Right Lower Abdomen?
Hi, im 17 and male. For about 20 minutes ago i went to the bathroom to pee. I then suddenly started having this sharp pain in my lower right abdomen. i've never felt this pain before and at this moment I'm trying not to move too much since it hurts. I even try to not take deep breaths. If it now happens to be something like an infection of the appendix, can it then come this sudden?

Hi welcome to HCM
Lower abdominal pain along with pain during urination suggests a ureteric colic due to a stone in urinary tract ( sometimes urinary tract infection also can present like this , but fever with chills in this case is almost invariable).
An acute appendicitis presents with pain in lower abdomen , vomiting and fever ( unlikely in your case.
An ultrasound abdomen will give more clear cut idea.
Meanwhile drinking of plenty of water will help you to relieve symptoms
consult your doctor
Thank you
