Hi doctor,
I am a 25 year old male. I have gas problem for the past three days. Since day before yesterday night, I have started to experience some pain in the left lower abdomen whenever I stretch or move. The pain is very dull and present whenever there is a movement. Please suggest what it could be. I do not have constipation problem. The pain only happens when I move or stretch the abdomen and is present on the left side.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. Pain in the left lower abdomen often pertains to the digestive tract. If the pain worsens with movement, it could be indicative of diverticulitis. In this case, it's recommended to visit the hospital for an ultrasound to confirm the presence of diverticulitis. If diagnosed, appropriate antibiotics and medications can then be prescribed for treatment.
