Question 2

i have bloating, lower left quadrant pain, belching, and off and on stomach pain after eating. what can the cause be? is it aortic aneurysm?

GI cause: Symptoms are not very specific for a single cause but are related to your GI tract, possibly a food intolerance such as lactose.  These are not symptoms you would see with an aneurysm and you are much to young to be at risk for this.

Question 3

what could cause a mass in the left-lower quadrant?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: I do not know where in the left lower abdomen you are describing, or if it internal or external in location. Could be fatty lipoma, hernia, less likely diverticulitis or abscess infection, ovarian growth or cyst, skin abscess or infection, colon tumor, etc.

Question 4

what is the reason behind left lower quadrant pain in appendicitis?

Accepted Answer

Appendicitis: Although i searched for pain on the left side, I could not find a reason. As  you know the pain may start in the middle of the abdomen and then migrate to the lower right. Appetite goes away.  With time the  pain becomes worse and treatment (surgical) is needed before it bursts

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Depends on size: I suppose if the cyst were extremely large filling the abdomen then pain could be in the upper left quadrant. That is not a very common finding.

Question 6

hello, the lower left quadrant of my stomach hurts ( right above my hips ) and i don't know the cause.

Stomach pain: How long and do you have any associated symptoms with it? Such as diarrhea, fever, constipation, blood in stool? It might even be a pulled muscle and not your abdomen. Unfortunately this is difficult to say without examining you!

Question 7

good morning, what could be the cause of pain in the lower left quadrant for a female age 42. the patient experiences it mostly during menstruation.

Accepted Answer

Whenever pain: associated with menstruation is reported we think of tissues that might be sensitive to reproductive hormonal changes ... such as uterine or endometrial tissue. My first thought might be endometriosis from endometrial tissue lying in the left lower quadrant of the pelvis. Of course other things are possible...making an appointment with your Primary Care Provider or Gynecologist would be best:)

Question 8

Varies: Multiple potential causes.  Among the more common would likely be endometriosis, in which endometrial tissue is going in abnormal locations and often causes pain that is worse with menstruation.  Other considerations might include polycystic ovary disease.  Consider being seen for an accurate diagnosis.
