What could be the reason of stabbing pain in the lower left abdomen?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am reviewing your case history and will get back to you in a while. Wait for my detailed response.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

1) Your biopsies and removed polyp will be reported soon. It would give some clues regarding your histological diagnosis. Do you have an idea about the site of the polyp? You can share your colonoscopy images and report on this platform as well.

2) If there are no urinary or reproductive system disturbances, I agree with your assessment that it is coming from the colon ( distal part of the descending colon or sigmoid).

3) As I mentioned, not every colonic pain needs to be colicky; sometimes, patients may have specific abdominal site pain like yours. It should respond well to simple anti-spasmodic (as mentioned above).

4) After a week, if you are eating well, tolerating the diet, and passing stools, this is very unlikely to have post-colonoscopy complications, most of the complications manifest within one to two days, and patients cannot tolerate oral diet or pass stools.

5) Prep-related inflammation is uncommon, but yes, the sensitive gut gets irritated with laxatives and would come back to normal in a couple of days.

6) Add probiotics to your diet, too, either daily yogurt if you can take it or commercially available probiotics once daily, this significantly improve gut microbiota and reduce episodes of gut spasm or pains.

Wishing you the best health.

Thank you.
