Appendicitis/ovary/urinary problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the spasms you are experiencing. It might indicate problems due to appendicitis (inflammation of appendix) or ovary problems.

I advise to run further tests to determine the right cause:
- abdominal ultrasound
- urine analysis
