Dr. Shen Yonghua
Left-sided abdominal discomfort is a common symptom experienced by patients, which may be caused by various factors.
1. Digestive system disorders, such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, and colitis, often present with accompanying symptoms like loss of appetite and abdominal distension. The pain may worsen or subside with dietary changes.
2. Urinary system diseases, such as kidney stones and urinary tract infections, may cause pain radiating to the lower back or perineal area, accompanied by symptoms including frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination.
3. In female patients, gynecological conditions such as adnexitis and ovarian cysts should also be considered. The pain is usually located in the lower abdomen and may be related to the menstrual cycle.
If the condition is severe or symptoms persist, patients should seek medical attention promptly.
