Hello,

The fact that you have PCOS dose not include the possibility of ovarian cyst, in my opinion to be sure for this your blood may be analyzed to measure the hormones level and MRI abdominal for more specific results.

In many cases, persistent pain specific to the lower left side of the abdomen is caused by diverticulitis, which are small pouches in colon.
