Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could The Pain In The Left Side Of The Abdomen In A Female Be Due To?
My 30 year old daughter is experiencing left side abd. pain. She does have a history of IBS and also has a history of having had a golf ball size cyst removed from her ovary as a teenager, also has dx. of PCOS. Currently at school, working on Master's. She says the pain sometimes starts up high on left side and radiates to lower left side. She does not have health insurance, so we are trying to figure out the possibilities. So if you would have any ideas, it would be most helpful. Some days the pain is worse than others and sometimes has no pain. On a scale of 1-10, most of the time when the pain does occur, it is usually 6, sometimes 8. She does have a pretty high pain tolerance.
Hi, Assuming her bowel habits are normal then there is a high likelihood of it being due to endometriosis. If the pain worsens at or around menses then it confirms the diagnosis. The treatment for it is hormonal. regards
