Several times a month i feel a painless tension in my lower left abdomen for 2 yrs now. all else normal. would gyno have found ovarian cancer in exam?

Yes BUT: The left lower quadrant was not in general be a safer ovarian cancer. It would be more in the pelvis. Left lower quadrant could be something like diverticulitis. You need to have an a valuation by both your gynecologist because of your concern and your Gastroenterologist
