Many causes: Abdominal pain is quite frequent in young individuals. The most common cause is constipation. Other times pain related to irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) treatment can be helpful. In female left lower quadrant pain can be related to ovarian cyst rupture. See physician if continues.
