Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain
Question: I have been having pains in my right lower abdomen almost to my groin area. Sometimes the pain goes away - laying down or right when I first get up. It seems to worsen if I am active and as the day goes on. It will also travel to my lower right back. I have been drinking a lot of juice and thought maybe that was the problem, so I started drinking just water. It got a little better, but it continues to hurt.
Brief Answer:
A few concerning symptoms:
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
Pain in the lower right abdomen can be from a few different things including muscle strain, gas from food or drink, infection or inflammation from the large intestines such as diverticulitis, but it is also the location of the appendix. Symptoms of appendicitis are right lower abdominal pain that gets worse with activity, particularly with walking or jarring movements or coughing. There is usually some nausea and low grade fever with this, but not always.
Pain that is persistent, that increases with pressing on it (tenderness) or movement and is in the lower right abdomen should be checked out. If it is overall increasing, go to the ER, otherwise see your doctor soon to evaluate this.
I hope this information helps.
