Hello!
I read carefully your query.
There are many causes of an left lower abdominal pain.
The pain might be due to urinary tact disorders,bowel disorders or reproductive tract disorders.
To differentiate this causes is very important to know other possible related symptoms.
-This pain may due to urinary tract infection.In this case other common symptoms include fever, frequent urge to urinate and/or frequent urination, a burning sensation during urination, blood or pus in the urine, and pain in the back, side, or groin.
-This pain may due to intestinal disorders such as Diverticulitis,Irritable bowel syndrome,Ulcerative colitis but in these other symptoms include diarrhea,constipation,nausea vomiting etc.
-If the pain originate from reproductive tract disorders there are many possibilities:
-If you are around your periods this pain may due to this.
-If you have vaginal discharge you might have pelvic inflammatory disease.
Other possible causes are Endometriosis,Ovarian cysts,uterine fibroids.
I suggest to consult a doctor and get examined.
The doctor according to your medical history,other symptoms that accompany pain,and physical examination will focus in one of this tracts(urinary,digestive,reproductive).
You probably need to do some tests such as :-complete blood count,urinalysis,vaginal swab,abdominal ultrasound.
Hope my answer has helped.
Take care.
