Q: Abdominal pain and burning
asked by: quinthike on July 21st, 2008
New User
I am a teenage male. I've been experiencing some abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant, over the past couple of weeks. It is what I would describe as a moderate pain, neither dull nor severe. At times, it is hard to pinpoint whether the pain is in the lower part of my abdomen or in the top of my groin/leg. I also have trouble pinpointing a spot when I feel around for the pain. Sometimes I push on a spot where I feel pain, and then other times that same spot doesn't have the same pain. As well, I've occasionally had burning when I urinate over the past months. This is usually when I haven't drink a lot of liquids during the day. When I do drink plenty of liquids, that symptom is almost nonexistent. I have very sensitive skin so I thought that might be playing a factor.

Anyway, I plan on seeing my doctor, but I'm just wondering what your opinions are.

Welcome to EHEALTHforum!
Do you have this abdominal pain in a form of attacks that come and go, intermittently (pain for one or two days resolving spontaneously and completely and after period of no pain reappearing again)?

Was the pain felt first around the belly button, then moving to the lower right area?

Have you experienced loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting?

Did you have lower fever in the days of abdominal pain?

Have you find your bowel movements changed, diarrhea or constipation?

Well, it isn't constant. For hours at a time there will be no pain. But, no, it doesn't go days for a time without any pain.

No, it started in the lower right.

Is the pain accompanied with urges for urination? Does the pain radiate sometimes to the lower back or to the groin and testicles?

There are no urges to urinate. Sometimes it goes into the top of my right groin, but no, not to the testicles.

Your pain might origin from the right kidney or upper urinary tract from the right side. pain could be due to presence of a kidney stone or infection of the upper urinary tract. You can request X-ray of the kidneys, abdominal ultrasound, blood tests and urine analyzes to conxirm or exclude kidney stone or urinary tract infection.
You can consult your primary health provider first and then some nephrologist or urologist if necessary.
