Hi welcome to HCM
I can understand your concern foryour recurring pain in the lower left abdomen .
Dear , there can be many factors causing pain ,It can be crampy, achy, dull, intermittent or sharp. It's also called a stomachache. Inflammation or diseases that affect the organs in the abdomen can cause abdominal pain .
Pains such as gas pains or a pulled muscle, aren't serious, while other conditions require timely medical attention .
Severe pain that comes in waves may be caused by kidney stones. Trauma to the body wall, hernias, and shingles can also cause left lower quadrant pain. A hernia is a weakening of muscle or tissue that allows organs or other tissues to protrude through it. Apendicitis ,hepatitis , inflamation in lever ,galblader ,,IBS can be other causes .
Rightoption will be to get in touch with your doctor to acertain right cause .
In the meantime, find ways to ease your pain. For instance, eat smaller meals if your pain is accompanied by indigestion.
Take lemon juice in warm water with little salt and black pepper .
Apply hot pack on the spot .
Do deep breathing Inhale - Hold - Exhale - Hold for 10 - 20 times .
Avoid taking .fast , fried foods , over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) because these can cause stomach irritation that may worsen abdominal pain.
Consult your doctor if your abdominal pain is severe and persistant ASAP
