Lower left abdominal and pelvic pain may result from causes such as corpus luteum rupture, ovulation, or adnexitis. It is recommended to undergo gynecological examination and ultrasound imaging at a hospital to assess the uterus and other pelvic structures for abnormalities. Endometriosis should also be considered as a possible diagnosis. A definitive cause can be identified through detailed color Doppler ultrasound, along with relevant blood biochemistry tests and urinalysis. Treatment should then be systematically and standardly administered based on the underlying etiology. In daily life, avoid excessive consumption of cold foods, drink plenty of warm water, and maintain good personal hygiene practices.
