lower right side abdominal pain .?

It could be something to do with your ovary or possibly your appendix but it sounds like you need to be seen right away hun. Ovarian cysts aren't generally emergencies but they can cause ovarian torsion which IS a medical emergency.

Please be seen asap...if not the ER tonight, please see your doctor tomorrow.

Appendicitis

Symptoms

The main symptom of appendicitis is belly (abdominal) pain. The pain can feel like indigestion or like you need to have a bowel movement or pass gas. Many people feel the first pain near the belly button. Then it moves to the lower right side of the belly. But the pain can be in different parts of your belly or even on your side. The pain may get worse if you move, walk, or cough. You may also have a fever or feel sick to your stomach.

Many people who have had appendicitis say the pain is hard to describe. It may not feel like any pain you have had before. It may not even be a very bad pain, but you may feel like something is wrong. If you have moderate belly pain that does not go away after 4 hours, call your doctor. If you have severe belly pain, call your doctor right away.

You may have appendicitis if:

* You have pain in your belly. The pain may begin around your belly button.

* The pain in your belly gets stronger and moves below your belly button on your right side (the lower right quadrant). This is the most common place to feel pain when you have appendicitis.

* The pain does not go away and gets worse when you move, walk, or cough.

* You have pain in any part of your belly or on your side.

* You feel nauseated or throw up a few times. You also may not feel like eating.

* You have constipation, back pain, a slight fever, or a swollen abdomen.

Some people do not have the symptoms listed above. Older people, children younger than 2 years, and pregnant women may not have pain in the lower right part of the belly. Other people feel pain in their side because their appendix is in a different position than normal.

This could be a hernia, appendicitis, or even a perforated bowel. You need an appointment with your doctor or a trip to an urgent care facility within 24 hours. Don't take any medication. It will both interfere with the medical treatment you receive and possibly make the situation worse.

Good luck,
