Question 1

there seem to be a lump or some kind of overgrowth tissue in my vagina area.. also my lower left abdomen cramps alot, and bowels are slow. wht is this?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: The symptoms you are describing are very nonspecific. The "lump" you feel could be an enlarged lymph node, an infection, and many more things. You might consider seeing a physician for a full evaluation.

Question 2

whata the chances my pregnancy can be ectopic. light brown discharge when i wipe & pressure on lower left abdomen. no cramps or heavy bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Are you pregnant?: If you are pregnant, get a blood HCG level done, it should double in 72 hours in a normal pregnancy. If it does not, then ectopic pregnancy needs to be evaluated by a doctor by ultrasound. 
If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 3

abdomen cramps. if i turn left right or centre their is a cramp that grips me and i cannot move?

Accepted Answer

Muscle spasms: I wold describe this as abdominal muscle spasms, similar to leg cramps or charley horse.episodes. They may occur from muscle strain or fatigue. I expect these to subside but if they persist and there is no evidence of abdominal muscle pathology or gastrointestinal symptoms,I recommend consulting a neurologist for evaluation as trivial motions are precipitating these spasms.

Question 4

i have on and off cramps on my lower left abdomen since day 5 of my cycle im now on day 24. im struggling to get a gynae asap to check me. ?

Accepted Answer

Go to GP : Suggest go to GP for appraisal and he can discuss with Gynae

Question 5

i get mild cramp type instantaneous pain in deep anus and lower left abdomen.they occur sometime and are sharp and mild..im virgin male age 18?

Accepted Answer

Possible constipatio: You may be having constipation which  is causing mild cramp in anus and left lower abdomen .You may try  a stool  softener which may help you to get relief from cramp .If  no relief then talk to your doctor to get investigations done .

Question 6

i seldom feel cramp on my lower left abdomen . what can be causes?

Accepted Answer

Maybe nothing: If it's just seldomly felt cramp, it may just be normal function of your bowels.  If this becomes continuous, worsening, or is associated with other symptoms, i would get it evaluated by a doctor.

Question 7

i'm approx 2-3 past ovulation, and have sharp cramps lower left abdomen, what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Mittleschmerz: Impossible to say for sure, but probably nothing unusual. Pain around ovulation is common and called mittleschmerz.

Question 8

i have what feels like a twinge of pain, similar to a running cramp in my lower left abdomen. started this afternoon while sitting at work.

Accepted Answer

Monitor...: Dear GCollier,  in the left lower abdomen we usually think large intestine but it can be other things.  This simply could be constipation.  Monitor is the pain progresses, travels to the right side or down to your groin, examine your skin, check for fever, nausea and look at your stool and urine.  I hope it's nothing...

Question 9

i am having really intense pain on my lower left abdomen i can't stand up straight because it hurts.  i don't normally get cramps. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

PELVIC PAIN: Multiple causes come to mind, but as an ER physician, my "worst case scenario" thought process makes me think of ovarian torsion, which is a twisting of the ovary, where the blood flow gets cut off. This is a gynecologic emergency and time is critical. If that is not the cause, there are other non-emergent conditions such as UTI, bladder infection, ovarian cyst.  Go to the ER now for your answer.

Question 10

constant lower abdomen cramps ?

Accepted Answer

Many things: It doesn't say how old you are, and we would need a lot more info to help you.  Could you be pregnant?  Are you constipated?  Have you been ill?  Could you have an std?  Is your period due/overdue?  Have you had abnormal (or no) pap smears?  Has there been a change in your bowel movements?  Many things can cause lower abdomen cramping/pain.  Give us more info and maybe we can help.  Or see your md.
