What are the causes of frequent left lower abdominal pain?

If you experience frequent bloating and pain in the left lower abdomen, you should usually be alert to whether there is intestinal disease. Usually, there are many reasons that can cause abdominal bloating and pain. The specific reasons should be comprehensively analyzed and judged based on the location, nature and duration of the bloating and pain. If the patient often experiences bloating and pain in the left lower abdomen, it is best to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and actively receive treatment after understanding the condition. So, what are the causes of frequent left lower abdominal pain?

Frequent distension and pain in the left lower abdomen is a common clinical symptom, and the main cause is mostly due to diseases of the abdominal organs. In addition, diseases of other visceral systems outside the abdominal cavity and systemic infections may also cause abdominal pain, which can be very severe. Therefore, when diagnosing a patient with abdominal pain, comprehensive considerations must be made. The degree of abdominal pain is related to the severity of the primary disease. For example, acute gastrointestinal perforation and liver and spleen rupture can cause severe abdominal pain, but this is not absolute. For example, although pancreatic cancer or gastric cancer has a very poor prognosis, it may only manifest as dull pain in the upper abdomen. Depending on the length of time since the onset of the disease, abdominal pain can be acute or chronic. Abdominal lesions, extra-abdominal lesions and systemic diseases can all cause abdominal pain.

Common causes of frequent left lower abdominal pain:

1. Gastroptosis. Patients have loss of appetite and persistent abdominal distension, which is particularly prominent after eating. They often have belching and a feeling of falling and pressure in the left abdomen, which worsens after eating or when walking, and eases when lying down. Sometimes constipation, sometimes diarrhea, or diarrhea and constipation alternating. The stomach often has dull pain and gradual pain, while severe pain is relatively rare. The patient's appetite is significantly reduced, and they often show signs of fear of food and anorexia.

2. Acute gastroenteritis often has an acute onset, with a fever of up to 39°C or even higher, increased frequency of bowel movements, paroxysmal abdominal pain before diarrhea, and increased "gurgling" sounds in the stomach, but no obvious abdominal distension. The sick child was severely dehydrated, had poor skin elasticity, and suffered from general fatigue.

3. Gastric and duodenal ulcers and perforations, especially sudden onset of severe upper abdominal pain after a full meal or drinking, which can be relieved by antacids and are often accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, may be considered as the above factors.

4. Intestinal ascariasis (see intestinal parasitic diseases), pain or colic around the umbilicus, sudden onset, and paroxysmal aggravation are mostly symptoms of parasitic infection.
