What Causes Left Abdominal Pain Persistently?

Hello, I have been having extreme left lower abdominal pain every time i sneeze, laugh or cough and sometimes when i sit up from a laying position. It is predominantly on my left lower abdomen aligned with my belly button. It hurts for a few minutes and goes away after but sometimes it continues in a dull manner aftet i sneeze or cough or laugh. Ive had it for almost two weeks now. I thought it was a muscle sprain since i do work out a lot but i gave myself a break and it continued. what could it be?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.It can be many reasons that can cause pain, renal calculus, pancreatic pathology, gastritis, hernias, gallbladder pathologies.
2.If you are my patient i would have examine you first and then send for an ultrasound scan, which will help to find out the cause and rule out many causes.
3.It will be seen in the hernias with cough reflex, which also can be evaluated with ultrasound.
4.I would suggest to get an appointment with your GP and get the needful investigations done.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
