The most common organ in the lower abdomen to get twisted is probably the ovaries and the testicles. In a woman, ovarian cysts can cause the ovary to twist, which typically causes severe pain.
In males, trauma or rapid growth in puberty can cause the testicle ( more accurately, the spermatic cord, which supports the testicle) to become twisted. This usually causes severe pain and sometimes swelling and vomiting.
Both of these conditions require emergency surgery, or else the blood supply will get cut off and the tissue in those organs will die.
Sometimes the intestines can get twisted, although this is more common in children, and is called intusseception.
