Step one: Step one of treatment is to identify the cause. This should begin with a complete interview of your health history and physical examination. Based on this, additional testing (x rays, ct scan, ultrasound, colonoscopy) may be required. While you wait to see your doctor, consider increasing the fiber and water intake on your diet--constipation is a common and easy to treat cause of lower abd pain.
