Arora's Assessment
What might be happening
Based on your symptoms, possible conditions include:
-
Appendicitis: This is an inflammation of the appendix, a small tube that branches off the large intestine. This condition often causes severe pain in the lower right abdomen. The pain can be sharp, stabbing, and worsen with movement.
- Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the appendix.
-
Kidney Stones: These are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. Pain can be severe and usually starts in the back or side below the ribs and may radiate to the lower abdomen and groin.
- Treatment may involve pain relievers and drinking lots of water to help pass the stone. Medical procedures may be required if the stone is too large.
-
Testicular Torsion: This is a serious condition caused by the spermatic cord that provides the blood supply to a testicle being twisted. It can cause severe pain and swelling in the scrotum.
- This is a medical emergency and requires immediate surgery to restore blood flow and prevent loss of the testicle.
What you can do
You should seek immediate medical attention. These conditions are serious and require prompt treatment. Do not eat or drink anything until you have been evaluated by a doctor, as you may need surgery.

- Severe pain that prevents you from sitting still or finding a comfortable position
