[20M] Experiencing intermittent lower right abdominal burning sensation

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, possible diagnoses include:

• Appendicitis: This condition occurs when the appendix, a small organ attached to the large intestine, becomes inflamed. It typically presents with pain in the lower right abdomen. However, your pain is not severe and you have not reported other common symptoms such as fever, nausea, and vomiting.

  • Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the appendix.

• Kidney Stones: These are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. Pain can be in the lower abdomen and back, and may come and go. Increased urination and pain radiating to the back are also symptoms. However, you have not reported blood in the urine which is a common symptom.

  • Treatment can range from pain management and drinking lots of water to pass the stone, to medical procedures to remove or break up larger stones.

• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): This is an infection in any part of your urinary system — your kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. It could explain the frequent urination and lower abdominal pain, but typically also involves pain or a burning sensation during urination, which you have not reported.

  • Treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear the infection.

• Side effects of medication: Both Adderall and Lexapro can cause stomach pain and dry mouth. Frequent urination is a less common side effect.

  • Treatment would involve discussing these side effects with your doctor, who may adjust your medication regimen.

What you can do

1. Consult a doctor about your symptoms. They can provide a formal assessment and order relevant tests if necessary.
2. Keep a symptom diary, noting when the pain occurs, its severity, and any potential triggers.
3. Stay hydrated, particularly if you are urinating frequently.

What you should look out for

Reasons to seek immediate medical attention:

• If your pain becomes severe or constant
• If you develop a fever, nausea, or vomiting
• If you notice blood in your urine
• If your symptoms worsen or do not improve over time
