What Causes Sharp Pain In Lower Abdomen When I Cough?

I have a sharp pin in my lower abdomen if I cough whilst laying down, or if I stand from a sitting position quickly? I ve had this come and go for years, I thought it was when I was ovulating, however it seems to be quite prominent for the last 2 weeks? Also, not sure if this is related, However when I squeeze my buttocks together (I m a professional dancer so this could be a separate injury I have picked up) I get a deep sharp pain in my right hip? Both pains are equally sharp and about a level 8. Can you give me any idea?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Sharp pain in the lower abdomen on coughing or standing is indicative of nerve entrapment or nerve stretching due to hernia. You are a professional dancer hence this this is possible.
Secondly squeezing buttocks causing deep sharp pain in the right hip is suggestive of again a neurological problem.

I would suggest you to get a physical test done by a Surgeon for both and get MRI of the spine, and hip to rule out any primary problems.
