What Causes Persistent Pain In The Left Abdominal Area?

I m a 32 year old female, and I m having severe to mild pains, consistently, in my left abdomen area. There is no possibility of me being pregnant, however I did have an injury to that area of my body about 4 years ago. This is the worst that it has ever been. My abdomen feels pressurized Its painful and I have no insurance, so any advice would be appreciated, even if i m told that I need to go to the hospital.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.





The possible causes of your problem are :

Gastrointestinal disturbances like gastroenteritis, diverticulitis, irritable bowel syndrome etc.

Gynecological causes like ovarian cysts or masses, pelvic inflammatory disease etc.

Simple pain can be relieved by taking antispasmodics like Mefenamic acid. If pain persists even after that, you may need to undergo clinical examination and ultrasound. With this the exact cause of your problem can be identified and treatment can be taken accordingly.

Avoiding spicy foods, including yogurt can decrease gastritis related problems.



Hope I have answered your query and I will be happy to answer any further follow-up queries.

Take care.
