Lower abdominal pain

Lower abdominal pain is a common symptom experienced in the lower abdomen, just above the pubic bone. It can range from a dull ache to a sharp, stabbing sensation and can be short-lived or long-lasting. It may be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, constipation, gas, and changes in bowel habits. The cause of lower abdominal pain can vary greatly and can be caused by anything from a urinary tract infection to a serious medical condition such as appendicitis.
