Why Do I Have Pain in Lower Right Abdomen?

Right Side Abdominal Pain
Medically reviewed by Dr. Ola Tarabzuni

Overview

Right-sided abdominal pain refers to any discomfort, pain or cramping on the right side of the abdomen, between the lower edge of the ribcage and the pelvic bone. The pain may be sharp, dull, or achy and may be constant or intermittent. Right-sided abdominal pain can be caused by a wide range of conditions, including gastrointestinal issues like constipation, gas, and bloating, as well as more serious conditions like appendicitis, gallbladder disease, and kidney stones. Other possible causes include reproductive issues such as ovarian cysts or ectopic pregnancy and musculoskeletal problems like muscle strain or injury. In some cases, right-sided abdominal pain may be a symptom of a medical emergency and need immediate medical attention.

This blog discusses the possible causes and management of right-sided abdominal pain.

Appendicitis

Appendicitis is when the appendix, a small pouch-shaped organ in the lower right side of the abdomen, becomes inflamed and infected. The inflammation can cause pain and tenderness in the lower right abdomen, typically the most common symptom of appendicitis.

Causes: 

The cause is not always known, but it may be due to an obstruction in the appendix, which can lead to an infection. This obstruction can be caused by fecal matter, a foreign body, or enlarged lymphoid tissue. In some cases, an infection may occur without an obstruction. Other possible causes of appendicitis may include genetic factors, bacterial infections, or digestive problems.

Symptoms: 

The common symptom of appendicitis is pain, which usually starts around the belly button and then goes to the lower right side of the abdomen. Other symptoms may include:

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Low-grade fever
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Abdominal swelling or bloating
  • Painful urination

Treatment: 

Appendicitis is usually treated with surgery to remove the infected appendix, known as an appendectomy. This procedure is usually done as soon as possible after the diagnosis is made to avoid complications. Antibiotics may sometimes be used to treat the infection before surgery. Pain relievers and intravenous fluids may also be given to relieve symptoms.

If left untreated, appendicitis can lead to severe complications, such as a ruptured appendix, which can cause an infection in the abdominal cavity. 

Acute Hepatitis

Right abdominal pain can be a symptom of acute hepatitis, particularly in cases of hepatitis A, B, and C. The liver is located on the right side of the abdomen, and inflammation of the liver can cause pain in the area.

Causes

The causes of acute hepatitis vary depending on the type of virus causing the inflammation. Hepatitis A is typically spread through contaminated food or water intake, while hepatitis B, C, and D are spread through blood and other bodily fluids.

Other factors that can cause acute hepatitis and abdominal pain include

  • Alcohol abuse
  • Exposure to toxins, such as certain medications or chemicals
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Metabolic disorders

Symptoms

The symptoms of acute hepatitis can vary depending on the cause and severity of the condition. Common symptoms include

  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Abdominal pain
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes),
  • Dark urine,
  • Pale stool,
  • Joint pain,
  • Itching

Treatment

The treatment of acute hepatitis depends on the cause and severity of the condition. Treatment typically focuses on relieving symptoms and supporting liver function until it can heal. Antiviral medications may be prescribed to treat viral hepatitis.

Other treatments for acute hepatitis include

  • Rest. Patients are advised to rest and avoid activities that may further damage the liver.
  • Diet. A balanced diet low in fat and high in protein and carbohydrates is recommended to support liver function.
  • Medications. Medications may be prescribed to manage pain, nausea, and itching.
  • Alcohol avoidance. Patients with acute hepatitis are advised to avoid alcohol and other substances that can damage the liver.
  • Hospitalization. In severe cases of acute hepatitis, hospitalization may be necessary to monitor liver function and provide supportive care.

Kidney Infection

Right abdominal pain can also be a symptom of a kidney infection, a type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that occurs when bacteria enter the urinary tract and infect the kidneys.

Causes

The most common cause of a kidney infection is the spread of bacteria from the bladder or urethra into the kidneys. This can occur due to factors such as:

  • Urinary tract obstruction, such as a kidney stone or enlarged prostate
  • Sexual activity, particularly in women
  • Use of a catheter
  • Immune system disorders that weaken the body’s ability to fight infection

Symptoms

In addition to right abdominal pain, a kidney infection can cause a range of symptoms, including

Treatment

Treatment of kidney infection aims to eliminate the disease and prevent complications. This typically involves antibiotics to kill the bacteria causing the infection.

  • Antibiotics. The prescribed antibiotics depend on the type of bacterial organism causing the infection and the severity of the condition. Antibiotics are typically taken for 7 to 14 days.
  • Pain relievers. Pain relievers available over the counter, such as ibuprofen, can help relieve pain and reduce fever.
  • Hospitalization. In severe cases of kidney infection, hospitalization may be necessary to receive antibiotics and fluids intravenously.
  • Surgery. In rare cases, surgery might be necessary to remove an obstruction in the urinary tract causing the infection.

Lifestyle changes. Drinking fluids, urinating frequently and avoiding irritants such as coffee, alcohol, and spicy foods can help prevent recurrent infections.

Pancreatitis

Inflammation of the pancreas, or pancreatitis, can produce discomfort in many parts of the abdomen, including the lower right side. Pancreatitis, which often affects the left side of the stomach but can also produce discomfort on the right side, might result in lower right abdominal pain due to pancreatic tail inflammation.

Causes of pancreatitis:

  • Gallstones: Gallstones, which can obstruct the bile duct and result in pancreatic inflammation, are one of the most typical causes of pancreatitis.
  • Alcohol abuse: Heavy alcohol consumption over a long period can lead to pancreatitis.
  • High triglycerides in the blood: High levels of triglycerides can cause inflammation in the pancreas.
  • Trauma: Trauma to the abdomen can cause pancreatitis.
  • Infection: In rare cases, a condition in the pancreas can cause pancreatitis.

Symptoms of pancreatitis:

  • Severe pain in the upper abdomen that may radiate to the back or lower right side
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Fever
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Swollen and tender abdomen
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)

Treatment of pancreatitis: 

Treatment for pancreatitis will depend on the severity of the condition. Mild cases may be treated with rest, pain relievers, and intravenous fluids. More severe cases may require hospitalization and treatment with antibiotics, nutrition support, and pain management. In cases where gallstones cause pancreatitis, gallbladder removal may be necessary to prevent future attacks. In cases of chronic pancreatitis, lifestyle changes such as quitting alcohol and maintaining a healthy diet may be required to manage symptoms.

Kidney Stones

Right-sided lower abdominal pain can be a symptom of kidney stones, deposits of minerals and salts that form in the kidneys and can cause discomfort as they pass through the urinary tract.

Causes of kidney stones:

  • Dehydration: Lack of adequate bodily fluids leads to kidney stones forming.
  • Diet: Consuming too much salt, animal protein, and oxalate-rich foods can increase the risk of developing kidney stones.
  • Genetics: A family history of kidney stones may increase the risk of developing them.
  • Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions such as hyperparathyroidism, urinary tract infections, and inflammatory bowel disease may increase the risk of developing kidney stones.

Symptoms of kidney stones:

  • Severe pain in the back or side, which may radiate to the lower right abdomen
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Frequent urge to urinate
  • Painful urination
  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
  • Blood in the urine

Treatment of kidney stones:

Treatment depends on the size and site of the stones. Small stones may pass on their own with pain medication and hydration. Larger stones may require medical intervention, such as extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), which uses sound waves to break up the stones, or ureteroscopy, which involves using a small camera to locate and remove the stones. At times, surgery may be necessary to remove the stones. After treatment, measures such as increased fluid intake, dietary changes, and medication may be recommended to prevent the formation of future kidney stones.

Gallbladder Stones

Right-sided lower abdominal pain can be a symptom of gallbladder stones, which are hard deposits of cholesterol or bile in the gallbladder.

Causes of gallbladder stones:

  • Obesity: Being obese or overweight increases the risk of developing gallstones.
  • Genetics: A family history of gallstones may increase the risk of developing them.
  • Hormonal changes: Women are more likely than men to develop gallstones, and hormonal changes such as pregnancy or birth control pills can increase the risk.
  • Diet: A diet high in fat and low in fibre can increase the risk of developing gallstones.
  • Medical conditions: Certain conditions such as diabetes, liver disease, and Crohn’s disease may increase the risk of developing gallstones.

Symptoms of gallbladder stones:

  • Pain in the upper right abdomen, which may radiate to the lower right abdomen
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
  • Clay-colored stools
  • Bloating and indigestion

Treatment of gallbladder stones: 

Treatment depends on the severity of the symptoms. If the stones are not causing symptoms, no treatment may be necessary. However, if symptoms are present, gallbladder removal surgery (cholecystectomy) may be essential to prevent complications such as infection or gallbladder inflammation. Sometimes, medication may be used to dissolve the stones or manage symptoms. After surgery, dietary changes and medication are recommended to prevent the formation of new stones.

Menstrual Pain

Right-sided lower abdominal pain can be a common symptom of menstruation, which is the shedding of the uterine lining that occurs approximately once a month in women of reproductive age.

Causes of menstrual pain:

  • Contractions: The uterus contracts to help expel the lining, and these contractions can cause pain.
  • Prostaglandins: The body produces chemicals called prostaglandins, which can cause pain and inflammation.
  • Endometriosis: In some cases, menstrual pain may be caused by endometriosis, where the tissue lining the uterus grows outside of it and can cause pain and inflammation.

Symptoms of menstrual pain:

  • Cramping or pain in the lower abdomen, which may radiate to the more down right side
  • Back pain
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Nausea

Treatment of menstrual pain:

Mild cases may be treated with OTC pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. In some cases, hormonal birth control may be prescribed to regulate and reduce pain in the menstrual cycle. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management techniques may also be helpful. In cases where endometriosis is causing pain, medication or surgery may be necessary.

Abdominal Muscle Strain

Right-sided lower abdominal pain can be a symptom of an abdominal muscle strain, which occurs when the abdominal wall muscles are stretched or torn due to excessive force or overuse.

Causes of abdominal muscle strain:

  • Overuse: Repeated or excessive strain on the abdominal muscles, such as with specific sports or weightlifting, can cause tension.
  • Sudden movements: Twisting or bending suddenly can cause the muscles to strain or tear.
  • Weak muscles: Weak abdominal muscles may be more prone to strain.

Symptoms of abdominal muscle strain:

  • Pain or tenderness in the lower right abdomen
  • Swelling or bruising
  • Difficulty moving or standing up straight
  • Muscle spasms
  • Weakness in the affected area

Treatment of abdominal muscle strain: 

Treatment for an abdominal muscle strain will depend on the severity of the injury. Mild cases may be treated with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) to reduce pain and swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers may also be helpful. In some cases, physical therapy may be recommended to help improve muscle strength and flexibility. In complicated cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the muscle. Resting and avoiding activities that may worsen the strain until it fully recovers is essential.

Constipation

Right-sided lower abdominal pain can be a symptom of constipation, a condition in which bowel movements are not frequent or difficult to pass.

Causes of constipation:

  • Poor diet: A diet low in fiber or high in processed foods can contribute to constipation.
  • Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can make stools hard and difficult to pass.
  • Lack of exercise: Exercise helps stimulate the bowel muscles and promote regular bowel movements.
  • Medications: Certain medications, such as painkillers or antidepressants, can cause constipation.
  • Medical conditions: Certain conditions, such as IBD or thyroid disorders, may contribute to constipation.

Symptoms of constipation:

  • Infrequent bowel movements
  • Hard, dry stools
  • Straining during bowel movements
  • Feeling bloated or full
  • Abdominal pain, which may be felt in the lower right side
  • Nausea or vomiting

Treatment of constipation: 

Simple lifestyle changes may be effective in many cases, such as increasing fiber intake, drinking more water, and exercising regularly. Over-the-counter laxatives or stool softeners may also be helpful. If constipation is caused by an underlying medical condition or medication, treatment of the underlying cause may be necessary. In severe cases, manual disimpaction or enemas may be required to remove impacted stools. If constipation is severe or accompanied by other symptoms such as fever or vomiting, it is advised to visit an ER. 

Hernia

It can also be a hernia symptom, which occurs when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue.

Causes of hernias:

  • Congenital weakness: Some people may be born with a weak abdominal wall that increases their risk of hernias.
  • Straining: During bowel movements, heavy lifting, or coughing, pull the abdominal muscles and increase the risk of hernias.
  • Obesity: Being overweight or obese can strain the abdominal muscles and increase the risk of hernias.

Symptoms of hernias:

  • A bulge or swelling in the lower right abdomen
  • Pain or discomfort in the lower right abdomen, especially when bending or lifting
  • Aching or burning sensation in the abdomen
  • The feeling of heaviness in the abdomen
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Inability to pass gas or have a bowel movement

Treatment of hernias:

Treatment for a hernia will depend on the severity and location of the hernia. Sometimes, a hernia may be pushed back into place and held in with a supportive device, such as a truss. Surgery may be necessary to repair the hernia and prevent it from recurring. In some cases, surgery may be required immediately if the hernia becomes trapped and cannot be pushed back into place. You must seek medical attention if you suspect a hernia, as untreated hernias can lead to complications such as bowel obstruction or strangulation.

  • Abdominal cramping
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite and weight loss
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Joint pain

Two types of IBD are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, which can cause right-sided abdominal pain. In Crohn’s disease, inflammation can be in any part of the digestive tract, but it often affects the ileum and the colon, causing pain on the right side of the abdomen. In ulcerative colitis, the inflammation is limited to the colon and rectum.

Treatment

IBD often involves medications such as corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and biologics to control inflammation and symptoms. Surgery may sometimes be necessary to remove damaged portions of the colon or rectum.

It’s essential to consult with a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen or if there is blood in the stool, as it could indicate a more severe condition.

Gas

Air and other gases throughout your digestive system make up intestinal gas. Food fully digested once it reaches your intestines is frequently the culprit. Your body will produce more gas the more undigested food there is. 

If gas accumulates, it can result in bloating, stomach pain, and a “knotted” sensation. Farting and burping frequently relieve discomfort. In actuality, a person may evacuate gas up to 30 times daily. 

Causes

Also, you may occasionally have intestinal gas if you swallow more air than normal, such as overeating, chewing gum, or smoking.
