Question 1

right lower quadrant pain. is it a cyst or could this be from ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Ovulation is often accompanied by a pain that could last several hours called "mittelschmerz".  It actually is caused by the leak of fluid when an egg is released, so it is sort of like a cyst.  However, pain that lasts is more likely to be something else, possibly a cyst, pregnancy, or even appendicitis.

Question 2

i have right lower quadrant pain with nausea and i had an appendectomy in 2005

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific : The symptoms are nonspecific, and don't suggest a major problem. There have been a few reports of 'stump' appendicitis, inflammation of the stump of the appendix. This is rare, but if the symptoms are similar to when you had appendicitis, see your surgeon for a follow up.

Just as long as it: Is not appendicitis , then you need to be aggressive with managing your constipation.Changing diet is not going to give you a quick fix for long standing constipation! you need to take dulcolax or the like. See a gastroenterologist for management . You may need bowel cleansing initially for being impacted!
