JAKARTA — Many women have, even often, experienced abdominal pain in the lower right side.
The aches or pains can be caused by problems with the right ovary and digestive tract.
Quoted from parapuan, there are several possibilities for the emergence of pain in the lower right abdomen in women. Here are the details:
1. Ovarian cyst
Launching Medical News Today, ovarian cysts are lumps in the form of fluid-filled sacs that grow on the ovaries.
In addition to lower right abdominal pain, other symptoms of ovarian cysts include pain during sex, frequent or difficult urination, bloating, abnormal menstruation, or a bloated stomach.
2. Endometriosis
Endometriosis is the growth of uterine lining-like tissue (endometrial cells) outside the uterus. These abnormal growths are generally not malignant.
In addition to lower right abdominal pain, other symptoms of endometriosis include pain during and after sex, painful bowel movements and urination, very painful menstruation, or spotting outside of the menstrual schedule.
3. Pelvic inflammatory disease
This infection of the female reproductive tract can cause abdominal pain in the lower right.
In addition, people with pelvic inflammation usually also feel nausea, fever, and bleeding after sex.
4. Ectopic pregnancy
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg is outside the uterus. This can cause right lower abdominal pain.
In addition to lower right abdominal pain, other symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy include frequent bleeding, vaginal discharge, pain around the shoulder, pain when urinating, nausea, or diarrhea.
5. Ovarian torsion
The reason why the abdominal pain in the lower right can also come from ovarian torsion.
This condition occurs when the ovaries or ovaries twist with the surrounding tissue. As a result, blood flow to it is blocked.
6. Menstrual pain
Menstrual pain usually appears in the lower abdomen. However, there are times when this pain only occurs in the lower right abdomen.
In addition to abdominal pain, symptoms of menstrual pain are usually accompanied by headaches, backaches, and nausea at the beginning of menstruation.
7. Digestive disorders
Lower right abdominal pain can also be a sign of indigestion. In addition to abdominal pain, other symptoms are heartburn or abdominal bloating.
8. Gas production in the stomach increases
Minor health problems such as increased gas production in the intestines can make the stomach bloated and trigger abdominal pain in the lower right.
Stomach bloating usually occurs because food is not digested properly or because of a food allergy.
9. Appendicitis
The most common cause of abdominal pain in the lower right is appendicitis.
This disease is usually accompanied by symptoms of fever, diarrhea or constipation, flatulence, nausea, and vomiting.
10. Kidney stones

Symptoms of kidney stones include abdominal pain, blood in the urine, painful urination, frequent urination, nausea, and vomiting.
11. Kidney infection
Another possible cause of lower right abdominal pain can also come from a kidney infection.
Pain from the abdomen associated with a kidney infection generally radiates to the lower back, waist, and groin.
