Hi ! Although it could be one of the reasons, but is not a must. It could be just simply be an attack of collitis or could be a pelvic organ like ovary giving rise to such sensation. Normally these organs do not give rise to discomfort while playing. In your case, it could be just a temporary phenomena if it is a collitis. You have to stop eating fast food and junk food in case you do eat outside. Even if it is appendix or pathology of other pelvic organ, I presume you can play again once it is corrected. I would suggest you to go for an ultrarsound abdomen and then go with the report to your treating doctor. If nothing is inconclusive, then the only way to know is a diagnostic/therapeutic laparoscopy of the abdomen.
Wishing you an early recovery. Thanks.
