What Causes Sharp Stabbing And Random Twinges Of Pain In Lower Abdomen?

I have brief sharp stabbing pain and random twinges of pain on the right side lower part of my abdomen and I would like to know what the most likely causes are. They said there are no ovarian cysts on the right side what else could it be? The symptoms don t really fall under the stereotypical appendicitis category. Help?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Read and understood that you have pain in the right lower abdomen. They have ruled out ovarian cysts and you don't feel it to be classical appendicitis.
The causes can be :
Colitis meaning inflation of the large bowel.
Typhlitis of cecum
Lymph node mass
Irritable bowel syndrome
Right Ureteric stone or so
Atypical appendicitis due to odd position.

It looks that you have undergone Ultrasonography, it does not show many of the problems I mentioned, hence yes need of contrast enhanced CT scan of the whole abdomen.
And also needed are proper investigations of blood, urine and stool as guided by a general surgeon after clinical evaluation.

This way a proper diagnosis will be made and a curative treatment done.
