dear user
this pain you have in lower left abdomen may indicate underlying problem as urinary tract infection or renal stones...so you should do urine analysis test to role out any bacterial infection that may cause that and to treat it with antibiotics if suggested...also you should do abdominal ultrasound scan to role out any renal problems like stones or gravels that may worse by time ....you shouldnot get worry of that as it will be simply detection of the cause when following these simple steps and try till then to drink alot of fluids
hope that helps you
