What Does Pain In The Right Side Of The Lower Abdomen Indicate?

Just yesterday I started having frequent stabbing pains in the lower right side of my pelvis (front of my body). It happens any time, sitting, standing, walking, laying down without exertion. Other than that, no pain or other symptoms. It is about a 4 on the 1-10 pain scale, just concerning. Any thoughts?

Thanks for contacting with your health concern
1. As I'm unable to examine you directly and because symptoms are acute in origin, thus I'm of the following opinion:

. At present all I can say is that it might be a 'gastrointestinal' symptom thus you should contact a general surgeon [to exclude appendicitis],
PS. The most common diagnoses of lower abdominal pain relate to uterine, gonadal, renal, and bladder complications, [less common causes like primary dermatologic and musculoskeletal problems as well as referred pain and neuropathies related to underlying vertebral and spinal cord complications can also occur], so examination is mandatory for further workup and management.

In Females, consult a Gynecologist for any underlying pathologies like endometriosis, uterine fibroids or pelvic inflammatory disease [PID]

2. If after pelvic examination the doctor suspects an underlying condition, she may order further investigations like MRI, CT, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy since surgery may be needed to remove the abnormal tissue [if any].
