A member asked:

Dear doctor i have an intermittent sharp pain in my left lower abdomen. could it be due to too much alcohol drinking? if not please advise. ..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: It could - if it is causing problems with your intestinal system. In men, the lower left abdomen is usually a site of pain caused by intestinal disease, a condition called diverticulitis can cause sharp left lower quadrant pains. Do you have any diarrheal problems, or any black stools or blood in stools? Other causes can be hernias or musculoskeletal causes.
