Question 1

child with left sided stomach pain, what do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: If the pain is on the lower left side, the most likely cause is constipation. Also, pain there could be the first sign of a stomach virus that will cause diarrhea. Upper left side pain is less clear. If it continues, call your pediatrician.

Question 2

what causes lower left side of stomach pain?

Accepted Answer

Lots of things...: "stomach pain" can be caused by lots of things & may indeed originate outside the GI tract. Further evaluation is in order before anyone can answer "what to do."  your doctor will want to re-examine you as well as know the quality, timing, duration, location, & associations (eating, position, activity, stooling, urinating) of your pain to better direct the next appropriate testing.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

GI spasms?: "stomach pain" can be caused by lots of things & may indeed originate outside the GI tract. Further evaluation is in order before anyone can answer "what to do."  your doctor will want to re-examine you as well as know the quality, timing, duration, location, & associations (eating, position, activity, stooling, urinating) of your pain to better direct the next appropriate testing.

Question 5

had protected sex on b control.. now nauseous, left side stomach pain and nipples hurting? used condum as well.. should be worried?

Accepted Answer

No: It sounds like you are doing everything 100% perfectly. It's great that you are on birth control and using a condom as that helps prevent pregnancy as well as stds. Therefore given the chance that pregnancy is so low, you might want to consider other reasons for your symptoms such as hormonal changes. Painful nipples can be due to Progesterone a hormone produced by your ovary.

Question 6

lower left side stomach pain for about 3weeks, pain now spread to both hips, dizzy spells. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor now: Left sided pain could be from many things, such as diverticulitis, kidney stones, bowel trouble, adhesions, ovarian cysts, congested veins.  In other words, too many causes to give good advice. But if the pain spreads and you are light-headed, you need to think of bleeding (ruptured cysts), infection and other serious conditions you shouldn't ignore.  Might be ok but don't wait, go see an md.

Question 7

i have chronic pancreatitis. i feel hard log shaped mass in upper middle abdomen. having frequent left side stomach pain. could there be a tumor?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you have found a new mass, get seen. If you really have chronic pancreatitis, insist on an explanation. Do you carry one of the cystic fibrosis genes? One of the mutant trypsinogen genes? You owe it to yourself to learn why you have this very uncommon illness at your age.

Question 8

bad back pain & strong left side stomach pain goes toward middle too. 
hurts to breath normally. usually have a lot of gas. sligh fever ?

Accepted Answer

Pain: Sounds like some sort of infection as you have a fever.  On your left side/abdomen the most common infection or issue for someone your age is either a kidney issue like pyelonephritis or a stone or if pain is lower down is some ovarian process.  Less likely for your age is diverticulitis.  I would go in for an exam to help determine cause and proper treatment.

Question 9

i've been have lower left side stomach pain on n off.. heart burn..on n off...on the 28 of may. a lot of clear discharge came .now its white watery discharge coming out with smell....

Accepted Answer

Probably not related: Causes of recurrent LLQ abdominal discomfort may be identified by first addressing accompanying signs/symptoms so as to localize the organ involved: vaginal discharge or bleeding, alteration in periods, pregnancy risk? Fever, nausea, vomiting, altered stool pattern, blood with stool, tenderness, distension? Painful urination, blood in urine? Recent trauma, herniations? Age? Gender? Risk factors?

Question 10

upper left side stomach pain hurts after i eat  i have chest pain no fever or vomiting belching a lot  i don't have my gallbladder .?

Accepted Answer

GERD ?: Possibly gerd but further evaluation is a good idea.  Talk to your physician.
