Hi, thanks for writing..
Urinary infection can cause pain in the lower abdomen.. Treat the urinary infection with antibiotics according to the sensitivity report.. Take adequate rest and she can use progesterone tablet for a week to relax the uterus.. if there is contractions, she need to get a scan to see for the cervical length and take a tocolytic.. hope i have answered your query.. Good day..
