Treatment depends on the cause

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The possible causes for your problem are :
- Diverticulosis, as you are having the history.
Sometimes persons with diverticulosis can present with pain abdomen especially on left lower abdomen.
-Constipation, infrequent bowel movements also can lead to pain abdomen.
So better to consult general surgeon once and get examined.
Depending on the cause treatment can be taken.
Simple pain abdomen can get cured by antispasmodic drugs and laxatives.
Take care.
