What Causes Abdominal Pain?

I have intermittent, sharp burning pain on my lower left abdomen radiating down into my upper thigh. I am a female athlete (aged 55 today!)--daily vigorous spin classes and 2 hours of weight lifting a week. I am hoping it is a sports hernia instead of ob/gyn. I am post menopausal with a history of uterine fibroids. I had a successful myomectomy (minimally invasive) in 2008 with no complications. I have had a small ovarian cyst for years which has never been troublesome. I have had an unremarkable menopause. Thank you.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, after a detailed clinical examination I would advise you for a routine blood sugar and CBC, routine/microscopic/and culture sensitivity test of your urine, and an ultrasound of the abdomen to rule out a UTI (urinary tract infection) and any other intra-abdominal/pelvic pathology. Further management would depend on the results of investigations.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
