Nausea and Lower Abdominal Pain
In most cases, lower abdominal pain and nausea are probably related to an upset stomach or the stomach flu. However, in some cases severe lower abdominal pain and nausea may be indicative of a serious medical condition.
Lower Abdominal Pain
Lower abdominal pain with nausea may be attributed to the stomach flu, appendicitis, diverticulitis and/or an intestinal obstruction.
Lower Left Abdominal Pain
Lower left abdominal pain may occur as the result of an appendicitis, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis and/or an intestinal obstruction.
Lower Right Abdominal Pain
Conditions that may cause lower right abdominal pain and nausea include appendicitis, gall bladder inflammation, diverticulitis and/or an intestinal obstruction.
Considerations
The Mayo Clinic recommends prompt medical treatment if the pain prevents you from sitting still or if the only way to alleviate the pain somewhat is to curl your body into a ball. Also, pain that is associated with persistent nausea may indicate a serious medical condition that requires immediate medical treatment.
Treatment
Try taking a warm bath to sooth abdominal pain. Refrain from taking over-the-counter pain medications; these medications often make the problem worse.
