What is the cause of pain in the lower left quadrant of a female age 42. the pain occurs mostly during menstruation. sometimes it occurs before menstruation, it stops when over the counter pain killers are used. ?

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.
