Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Left sided stomach pain may be due to several reasons. These are as follows:
- Indigestion problem & acidity (M/C).
- Peptic ulcer and gastritis.
- Renal colic and Pyelonephritis.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- Ulcerative Colitis or Diverticular disease.
- Ovarian Cyst, fibroid or Adenomyosis etc.
Ectopic pregnancy should be ruled out through one home pregnancy test if she misses her regular period.
Proper clinical examination and some initial investigations should be carried out under the guidance of GASTROENTEROLOGIST.
Investigation includes: One pelvic ultrasound scan; Blood tests like Renal and Liver function, Sugar (PPBS), ESR; Urine microscopy and culture; GI Endoscopy or Colonoscopy, CT or MRI scan (if required) etc.
Complete treatment can be made only after diagnosis of the case. You must consult with Gastroenterologist regarding this. Pantoprazole group of drug can be taken in empty stomach (in case of indigestion problem) to get some relieve until you get an appointment to your doctor.
In addition, she must take healthy balanced diet, avoid spicy and salty food stuffs, drink plenty of water, keep bowel habit regular, maintain genital hygiene and take sound sleep. Don't be stay in empty stomach for long time. Take 6 small meals instead of 3 large meals.
Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
Wish her good health and take care yourself.
