A member asked:

When i press lower left abdomen i get sharp pain wat is it? gas??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: The main organ in the left lower abdomen is the colon. If you are not having regular bowel movements make sure you increase your water and fiber intake. As with any unusual abdominal pain, if it rapidly worsens or doesn't improve after a good BM see your MD.
