Why do I have a pain in my lower right side?

Stomach pain on lower right side?

• for the past 4 months i been having stomach pain on the lower right side. i went to the doctor back in decemeber, he said he wasnt appendicitis, he sented me for a ultrasound anyway and that ruled out gallbladder problems and appendictis. i went to a gastro doctor who thinks its ibs but not a big deal. the pain isnt really pain feels like cramps, sometimes when i push in on the lower right side i feel cramps in my stomach aboe the right side, but nothing is tender, and i am told that if it was appendicitis that when i push in and then release i would feel the most pain, i dont feel any pain when i do that. its just cramps, and i been stressing thinking its appendicitis, i been to the doctor on and off for months worrying about going into surgery. everyone keeps telling me if it was appendicitis i would of known by now. has anyone experience something similar? any input would help

• Answer:

  Some common conditions that can cause pain in the lower abdomen include diverticulitis and irritable bowel syndrome. You don't mention if you are male or female, but if you are female it may be related to ovulation. Occasionally, when the ovum is release from the ovary, a small cyst will form. A portion of the fluid can leak into the abdominal cavity causing irritation and pain. If the pain appears 9-14 days after the start of your last mentrual cycle, you may wish to consult your OB. Good luck !
