I'd get it checked out.

I am male, and had similar pains when I was about 10.

I went to the emergency clinic in absolute agony in my abdomen, and was examined and they decided it was appendicitis (I'm not sure if it is hereditary, but if it is, my dad had it, so that may have affected their decision).

Anyway, I spent a night in the hospital ready for an op in the morning, only to wake up feeling normal, so didn't have the op in the end.. apparently it could have just been a serious stomach ache or something along those lines.

Still, I'd say it's worth checking it out, since it could be many unsavoury problems from leaving it too late iirc. Obviously it is different for you given that you don't have the NHS, but still.

Even if it's not appendicitis it could be something else that needs sorting!
