2. Dysmenorrhea
Dysmenorrhea is painful menstrual cramps. The right ovary and Fallopian tube rest closely to other organs and if inflamed, can affect the surrounding region. Pain caused by dysmenorrhea can cause the entire abdominal neighborhood to cramp and ache.
If pain occurs in the same area month after month, it could possibly be because of painful period cramps. Over-the-counter medications and soothing heat pads should ease the pain in the lower right abdominal region.
