Hello, the most common cause of dull pain in the lower left abdomen in women is adnexitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries). We recommend that you undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination and laboratory testing of vaginal secretions to determine the specific type of inflammation, so that targeted treatment can be initiated. During treatment, maintain good local hygiene and abstain from sexual intercourse to prevent worsening of your condition. Additionally, avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold or raw foods. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
