Right Abdominal Pain, Occasional Cramps. Previous Cyst. Family History Of Cancer. Advise?

I have pain on my lower right side of my abdomen I think above my appendix it has been coming and going for about a week now. sometimes it is sharp pain and I get really bad cramps with it, other times its just a sharp pain that comes and then goes away. it does it a couple times in a row tho. I have had a cist their before, 4 years ago it is no longer their it think. I did just have a baby 8 months ago, but when I went to the doctor everything checked out fine. Cancer also does run in my family. What do you think it could be? it doesn't feel like its a cist that I had before.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I have gone through your history,your pain in abdomen is intermittent colicky it could be possibly due to intestinal or ureteric colic. We must rule out any ovarian cyst or mass.

You should test for Complete Blood Count,Stool R&M, Urine R&M, abdominal Sonography.
Then if necessary endoscopy upper and colonoscopy.

Further action depend on result of test,and treatment can be planned accordingly.
In the meantime anti spasmodic may be taken on as and when required basis.
Please consult a General surgeon and Gynecologist and get detail examination.

Take care
Good Luck
