Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Understood that you have slight pain in your left lower side of abdomen for two weeks. No bulge, no swelling.

The most probable cause of left lower abdominal pain in the male patient is:
Colitis- meaning inflammation of the large bowel.
Left ureteric stone of long standing.
Clinical evaluation, proper detailed history, physical examination by a Doctor can help to get the probable diagnosis and added on by the relevant tests of the blood, urine, stool and ultrasonography to start with.
If needed a course of antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotics and anti-spasmodic can help a lot if colitis is present.
