Question 1

my lower left side of my stomach really hurts? any reasons why? please help its really hurting mee

Accepted Answer

May need med-checkup: Any severe pain in the abdomen raises a question about some infection of blockage. You did not tell us your age...that matters in terms of possible causes. You can take a paracetamol if you want to try treating it at home. But if the pain persists more than 2 hours from now, go to the Hospital emergency room for a medical check up and tests .

Question 2

my lower left side of my stomach hurts. help?

Accepted Answer

May be GYN related: Most frequently left lower quadrant abdominal pain in a young female is caused by gyn related issues (e.g. Ruptured ovarian cyst). Less commonly, at this age, a condition called diverticulitis (inflammation of colon diverticula) may cause similar pain. Rarely appendicitis may present with pain on the left side instead of the right. Other causes are related to urinary tract.

Question 3

the left side of my stomach hurts, what's the cause?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: A simple tummy ache with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, whether at home or traveling, may be from a virus infection, bacteria infection, or contaminated food. A normal person, not pregnant, not on medications, usually recovers easily. Taking a Pedialyte popsicle or 2-3 oz of Pedialyte hourly, plus drinking/eating little else, may settle things down. Otherwise, a Dr. should evaluate.

Question 4

what can i do if my lower left side of my stomach hurts a lot any sugestions on what it might be?

Accepted Answer

Anything: Most people think their whole abdomen is their stomach, but the stomach is in the upper middle or upper left of the abdomen.  If your lower abdomen hurts, that could be your skin, muscles, bladder, uterus, or intestines. If the upper part of your abdomen hurts, it could be acid reflux, pancreatitis, or other problems. See a doctor for an assessment.
