What Causes Severe Pain In Lower Abdomen?

I m having severe pain in lower abdomen.. have had this on and off for more than a year. it s transient; lasts for about an hour every few days and then goes away. started in lower right and radiates to middle. I m 59 years old; female. Appendix, ovaries and uterus removed. Colonoscopy and ultrasound were negative. Happens whether i am seated or standing, full or fasting. One doctor thinks it may be a bowel twist... would that come and go like this?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Bowel twist can cause similar symptoms, But it need to be confirmed if it is so - by taking a erect abdomen x-ray ( To see air fluid levels and coffee bean sign)
2.It feels like a IBS ( irritable bowel syndrome ) for me, It can be ruled out by taking a CT abdomen pelvis, to see the bowel wall thickness and presence of any diverticulosis.
3.Try to change your food habit to a normal diet (fruits and salads) avoid junk and fast foods and alcohol (if you consume) for month and try.
4.Generall they go off in any cases i have seen - if not then get CT done.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
