Brief Answer:
Could be due to cough

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.

The cramps could be due to cough. But there could be other reasons too. You should see a doctor. He will examine you and may advise an ultrasound abdomen to come to a diagnosis.

You can also mention the details of the pain like exact location, intensity of pain, etc. And I would be able to narrow the diagnosis.

If you are unable to bear the pain, then you should go to emergency.

Brief Answer:
Doesnt seem to be musculoskeletal

Detailed Answer:
Hi

This doesn't seem to be musculoskeletal since it does not hurt on pressure.

It could be hernia or an inflamed organ inside. Thus I would suggest that you see a doctor on urgent basis and get evaluated.

If it is a hernia ( i had a hernia operation when I was 10 years old)
Can it go away on its own?

Hernias need surgery

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Hernias need surgery. They do not heal.
Hope you saw a doctor by now.
