What Causes Lower Left Side Abdominal Pain, and Should I Be Worried? - #15213
For the past few weeks, I’ve been experiencing lower left side abdominal pain, and I can’t figure out what’s causing it. Some days, it’s just a mild discomfort, but other days, it feels like a sharp cramp or dull ache that comes and goes. I read that lower left side abdominal pain could be related to digestive issues, muscle strain, kidney stones, or even reproductive organ problems. How do I know if my pain is something minor, like gas or constipation, or if it’s a sign of something more serious? One thing I’ve noticed is that the pain seems to be worse after eating certain foods. Could this mean I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) or diverticulitis? I also feel bloated at times, and I occasionally have changes in my bowel movements. Does Ayurveda have any natural remedies for lower left side abdominal pain? Are there any herbs, dietary changes, or yoga poses that can help with digestion and reduce inflammation? I’ve heard that ginger, ajwain, and triphala are good for the gut—do they work for this kind of pain? If anyone has experienced lower left side abdominal pain, what was the cause, and how did you treat it? Should I be getting any tests done to rule out serious issues?
