General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

The most probable reasons for pain in the left lower abdomen, which takes a few hours to settle and occur every month, in spite of regular menses and you are unmarried are:
-Twisted ovarian cyst.
-Mittelschmerz syndrome where a female gets mid-menstrual lower abdominal pain due to ruptured ovarian follicle with mild bleeding.
-Colitis.
-Sigmoid volvulus and so on.
Yes, it is something you checked about it. The best investigations would better be done when you have pain:
-Ultrasonography
-X-ray of the abdomen in standing position. Physical examination by a general surgeon. It will get you diagnosed, and treatment would be an easy task.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
