Patients presenting with stabbing pain in the lower abdomen may consider intestinal disorders such as appendicitis and gastroenteritis.
In addition to this, male patients need to consider urological disorders such as ureteral stones and prostatitis, while female patients need to consider gynaecological disorders such as pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids and, in the case of pregnant women, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and premature birth.
