If it were something bad, the pain would be persistent and getting worse.  \n\nIt could be gas or constipation.

It could really be anything....lower back strain, kidney trouble, unrinary tract infection, or pelvic inflammatory disease. Do you have pain passing urine, or are running a temperature? The urine frequency......is it accompanied by foul frothy urine and pain? The bowel movement frequency and gas may be related to a lumbar injury, an infection, or simply because you've eaten something that causes it like curry or cabbage.\nIn any case, it'll be advisable for you to have it checked out properly by your doctor.

I doubt it, but there is cause for me to be concerned.  Something is making you less hungry, and it could likely be depression.  I would go see your doctor just to be on the safe side.  Also he can rule out any other medical issues that might be causing this.

I think its perfectly normal, your body is adjusting to another form of contraception(artificial hormones) so there will be periods of uncomfortable lower pains in the pelvic region.\n\nThat said, it might be worth popping along to your gp to get it checked, it could be all matter of things and any infection should be ruled out.

Pain in the abodmen is usually refered pain from a region of your gut or viscera surrounding it. Pain around the umbilicus is usually associated with appendicitis. As it progresses, the pain shoots downwards and right to your appendix. \n\nHowever pain in the lower abdomen is usually referred to as colicky pain. This could be due to overproduction of gas as a result from bacterial metabolism in the gut. This could be due to problems such as lactose intolerance or indigestion. Stop drinking milk or milk based products and refrain from legumes ie long beans or any kind of beans. IF THE PAIN PERSISTS, REFER TO YOUR PHYSICIAN.

It can be a nervous cause. I suffered from chronic stomach pains for many years (since I was 8-9) and no doctor could diagnose anything for sure. It was untill I went to psico-therapy that the pains sarted to reduce, We tend to internalize many of our external problems into our body and many times its the body which starts asking for help in the way of pain and illness. And yes, 9 year olds can have problems too. Is everything ok in the family, at his school?

This could be a very serious condition, see a doctor if this is happening to you.\nIt could mean that your intestines are bleeding (very serious). The higher up the bleeding is in the GI tract, the darker the stool will be. Or, it could be a high level of iron ingestion or certain medications, like pepto bismol.

Thanks for making me laugh.....\n\nI wouldn't worry about it unless it happens all the time.  Did you eat something very spicy yesterday?  Or perhaps you need to get more fibre in your diet.\n\nIn any case, I think you'd make your doctor giggle with that description of your problem.

When I had appendicitis, I woke up, and I had a dagger-sharp pain in my upperleft stomach below the ribs. I started off thinking it was a bad stomach ache, but it just wouldnt go away. The pain started moving towards the lower right side of my stomach (a common symptom), and by the end of the night, I went to the hospital and had it removed. But the way I see it is that if you have appendicitis, you will know by the severe pain.

I would suggest going to your doctor to make sure that everything is okay.  You could have a more serious form of acid reflux or angina (chest pain) due to something else.  Not trying to scare you, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

It could be a cyst,it could be that you are ovulating,it could be endometriosis,or ectopic pregnancy. When women ovulate the experience sharp pain on the side which carries the ovary they are ovulating from that month. If it is very painful go to see your gynecologist.

at the most basic level, there is something that is irritating going on in the lower abdomen.  but there are a lot of possibilities.  it could be something as simple as a large gas bubble that is putting pressure on the intestines.  it could be something more serious involving the intestines, such as a blockage, rupture, or infection, such as appendicitis.  you don't say if you are female, but if you are, then the reproductive organs could also be the source of the pain, like an ovarian cyst, uterine infection, ovulation, etc.\n\nif the pain is minor, and you don't have a fever, you could wait a while.  if it has been going on for a while, or if the pain is severe, you should see a doctor immediately.

You may have a peptic stomach ulcer, I do and I have pain when I eat and drink most of the time, you should go see your doctor and see if there are any medications you could be on to ease the symptoms. And having a stomach ulcer isn't serious, I just had to change a few things that I ate, like cutting back on spicey foods and sodas.\n\nGood Luck, Hope you're feeling better soon.

Are you sure its heartburn and not chest pain? Chest pain isn't always sharp stabbing pains. Call your cardiologist.
