You would like the know the cause of the pain in the lower left abdomen that you experience.
Pain in the lower abdomen caused by problems connected in the reproductive system appears in the following situations: infections of the uterus and around it, extra-tubal pregnancy if often followed by bleeding, torsion of the ovaries or stretching of the ligaments that keep the uterus straight in one position.
Given the symptoms that you described, you may or may not have a medical condition. You may make a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. You may consider seeing a gynecologist to rule out infections or medical conditions that affect the ovaries. You may take analgetics only when there is no proved medical condition you are experiencing.
Please keep in mind that I am trying to provide you with medical information here. I am not able to give you medical advice online. Please contact your doctor or a qualified healthcare provider such as a gynecologist to learn more about diagnosis and treatment options.
