What Causes Dull Pain In Lower Abdominal And Pelvic Area?

I have been having dull pain in lower abdominal/pelvic area. I have an appointment to see my Dr. next week, but it is really bothering me today. This has been going on for about 2 weeks. This past week, I did some yoga and played tennis and it seemed to be a bit better. No so today. Played tennis and it really hurt. I nearly went to urgent care. There are no changes in my urinary or bowell habits and I am generally healthy. Historectomy years ago. No fever or nausia. Any ideas?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The cause of the dull pain in the pelvis / lower abdominal are can be due to low grade inflammation of he small and / or large intestine. This can be without the obvious symptoms of loose motions or so.
Since you have already undergone Hysterectomy, uterus can not be the reason. It is but possible that the ovaries if not removed could have been having cysts or so.
Anther possibility of the appendicitis and Typhlitis ( inflammation of the beginning of the colon can be the cause.

I would advise you:
Actual physical examination by a Doctor,
A course of an antibiotic and metronidazole on an empirical grounds.
Ultrasonography and other tests of blood, urine and stool will all help to get the proper diagnosis and treatment.
