Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The pain in the left lower abdomen on coughing is certainly serious. You should consult a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation , examination and investigations if required.
The causes can be :
-Hernia development
-Muscle spasm or sprain
-Adhesion as there is a history of surgery.
Once the diagnosis is established, the treatment can be curative.
Of course the treatment by ENT and /or Pulmonologist after clinical evaluation, examination and investigations is also most important.
Take care
