Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

The common causes of lower abdominal pain in a girl are urinary tract infection and pelvic inflammatory disease.
An urinalysis may be done to see if you have urinary tract infection. In case of UTI you can get relief by drinking cranberry juice and lot of fluids. If the infection is confirmed , the you may have to take a course of antibiotics.

To rule out pelvic inflammatory disease, an ultrasound scan and a gynaec examination have to be done.

I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.R.K
