She was examined by a doctor and US was done so the most likely and dangerous causes such as appendicitis, pelvic infection disease and cholecystitis/cholelithiasis were ruled out. US of the abdomen is not sensitive enough to rule out kidney or ureteral stone. US will miss early phase of ureteral blockage by stone. She needs to be re-evaluated and she may need a CT of the abdomen and pelvis.
