Suggest Remedy For Persistent Discomfort In Left Lower Abdomen

I travel a lot for work, and was searching for a local urgent care to see this afternoon, but saw this service first. Any thoughts are of course welcome
could be of intestinal or urinary origin
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
left lower abdominal pain is most likely associated with the intestine. Potential diagnoses include: diverticular disease (particularly if you're constipated) , irritable bower syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases, cancer, etc.
Such pain may also come from the urinary tract. The left abdominal pain can be caused by a partial obstruction of the left ureter for example. The lower abdominal (central) discomfort can originate from the bladder (obstruction close to the bladder or cystitis).
Clinical examination may provide more data regarding the origin of the pain, so you'd better find that urgent care you were looking for. Lab tests would be useful as well, like urinalysis, complete blood count, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, etc
Clinical examination and the aforementioned tests will give the doctor a good idea of what's going wrong.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!
