Hello, i am having a sudden onset of lower left side abdominal pain. it is aggravated by applying pressure to the rectum and also lifting my left leg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diverticulitis: Many diseases can cause these symptoms: diverticulitis, abscess and tumors (particularly colon cancer) being the most important. I think you should see a surgeon and be examined and most likely you will need a CT-scan and a colonoscopy. CT-scan will show many other possible causes of this pain. In women, diseases of the ovary (eg abscess, tumor etc) can cause this type of pain.
