Question : I have a pain in lower left front abdomen. The pain is recurring every few seconds. Then it stops and then again comes back.
It started 2 days ago. It went away yesterday and came back again this afternoon and with a little more than before. When I poke my stomach with my finger, I can feel a little pain.
My diet is same as usual. No indigestion, regular bowel movement.
