Answer:
Abdominal pain can be caused by abnormalities in the organs inside the stomach.
Lower abdominal pain may involve any of the organs in the stomach and pelvic organs.
The large intestine and small intestine are located in the lower abdomen, so abnormalities in these organs can trigger pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen.
Digestive problems that are often found, such as excessive gas in the digestive tract, diarrhea or constipation, can trigger pain in the lower abdomen. Inflammation that occurs in the small intestine (enteritis) or in the large intestine (colitis) can occur due to:
InfectionInflammatory bowel disease (IBD)Celiac diseaseSmall bowel obstruction or large bowel obstructionSmall bowel cancer or colon cancer
Apart from the digestive tract, pain in the lower abdomen can also be caused by abnormalities or disorders of the urinary tract. For example, such as an infection or urinary tract stones.
Other organs that may cause lower abdominal pain are the reproductive organs, such as:
Pain due to menstruationPelvic inflammatory diseaseEctopic pregnancyOvarian cyst or tumorLump in the uterusInflammation of the fallopian tubes
To treat mild pain at home, you can use pain relievers such as acetaminophen or those that are sold freely. However, if the pain feels severe or the intensity is becoming more frequent, you should check with the nearest doctor to find out the cause of the stomach pain.
