What Causes Cramps In Lower Abdomen On Left Side?
Hi, I am a 19 year old girl (5 10, 135 pounds). A couple days ago I started getting cramps in my lower and upper abdomen. The most pressure is located on my lower left side. It is really starting to bother me. It is more uncomfortable than painful. Should I see a doctor? What could it be?

Hi,
It could be diverticulitis or enterocolitis like infective etiology.
You should be prescribed anti spasmodic drug like dicyclomine.
You should be given broad spectrum antibiotic course also for five days.
Avoid intake of excess spicy foods and non vegetarian fried foods.
Take soft and Bland diet more with excess fruits.
You should consult physician for examination and get prescription accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
