What Causes Abdominal Pain On The Left Side Of The Body?
Hi, I m a 63 year old female. I ve been having abdominal pain on my upper left side of my body ( it feels like its under my rib area) and leading to my pelvis area. I also have a bad cough because of it. I also get rectal pain that feels like the one in my abdomen. My doctor keeps dismissing me but I know something is wrong. I don t know who or where to turn. Thank you. Paola Pacheo

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to many medical conditions. One of the common causes can be related to diverticulitis. I suggest doing an abdominal ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using Espumisan three times a day to relieve the gas.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
