Hello and welcome to HCM,
Urinary tract infection can cause lower abdominal pain.
In order to prove or rule out urinary tract infection, a complete urine analysis is required.
Presence of neutrophils, epithelial cells indicates infection.
The infection can be confirmed by nitrite esterase test, presence of bacteria and/ or culture studies.
In case the infection is confirmed, appropriate antibiotics need to be started.
However, since you have mentioned that the urine analysis report was within normal limits, some other cause of lower abdominal pain need to be determined.
Consult your physician. Musculo-skeletal pain is a common cause of low abdomen pain.
Thanks and take care
