What Causes Intermittent Diarrhea And Lower Left Side Abdominal Pain?
I have had diarrhea off and on for the past three or four days. Yesterday I began experiencing pain in my lower left side whenever I twist to the right to wipe myself after going to the bathroom. It only hurts when I twist and it is very painful to the point of me feeling out of breath when I have to wipe myself. I don t see how it could be a pulled muscle since I did not do anything. What could be causing this pain?

Hello,
Sometimes any unaccustomed situation can lead muscle strain and pain can be there. So you can apply hot compress over that.
The anti-inflammatory medication also can be prescribed for that for five days. Avoid movement that aggravates pain.
You will mostly improve in 3-5 days. If diarrhoea comes again than stool analysis should be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
