Why do I have pain in my left lower abdomen when I slouch?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your post and the ultrasonogram report (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

 There are three structures which can give pain in the left lower abdomen:

1. Urinary tract, kidney, and ureter.  Any pathology, especially in these organs, can give pain; however, as your ultrasonogram is normal, it generally rules out the pathology of these structures.
2. Large intestine in the lower left abdomen can cause this kind of pain and may not be detected on ultrasonogram.
3. An abdominal wall spasm (sudden involuntary muscular contraction) may cause such pain and it is important because it is associated with a change in body position. You need to go for a urine examination and afterwards, start Ofloxacin 200 mg twice daily for five days. I suggest you take an anthelminthic, preferably tablet Albendazole 400 mg single dose. In addition, a high-fiber diet containing fresh fruits and vegetables can be taken and abdominal muscle exercises can be done.
