Left lower abdominal pain in women may result from irregular eating habits and frequent consumption of spicy or irritating foods, which can lead to acute enteritis. If a woman drinks little water regularly, urinary stones may form; when a stone becomes lodged in the ureter, it can also cause left lower abdominal pain. Additionally, when pathogens infect and invade the female reproductive tract, they may trigger adnexitis, leading to left lower abdominal pain.
