Arora's Assessment
What might be happening
Based on the information you've provided, possible diagnoses include:
-
Appendicitis: This is an inflammation of the appendix, a small organ located in the lower right abdomen. The main symptom is usually a sharp pain that starts in the middle of the abdomen and then shifts to the lower right side. This pain often gets worse when you move around, take deep breaths, cough, or sneeze.
- Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the appendix.
-
Ovarian Cyst: This is a fluid-filled sac that forms on or inside an ovary. Most ovarian cysts are harmless and go away without treatment in a few months. However, a large or ruptured ovarian cyst can cause serious symptoms such as sharp or severe pelvic pain.
- Treatment can range from monitoring to surgery, depending on the size and type of the cyst, your age, and your symptoms.
-
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): This is an infection in any part of your urinary system — your kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Pain and discomfort are common symptoms of a UTI. However, the pain is usually in the middle of the pelvis or lower back, not the lower right abdomen.
- Treatment typically involves antibiotics.
Please note that these are just possibilities and not a definitive diagnosis. You should seek immediate medical attention to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
What you can do
Given the severity and location of your pain, it's important to seek medical attention immediately. If you're unable to reach your primary care doctor, consider going to an urgent care center or emergency room.
While waiting for medical attention, try to rest and avoid any strenuous activities that could potentially worsen your pain.
What you should look out for
Seek immediate medical help if you experience any of the following:
- The pain becomes severe or unbearable
- You develop a fever
- You start vomiting
- You notice blood in your urine or stool
- You have difficulty breathing
