Why Am I Experiencing Slight Intermittent Lower Left-sided Abdominal Pressure When I Am In The Habit Of Doing Cardio And Abdominal Crunches?
Question: Hi Doctor,
From last 3 months, i am doing cardio regime and doing abs crunches. From last one month, i am feeling slight pressure in lower left side abdomen now and then. I thought it may be due to abs exercise. But now i am feeling prick pain in lower left abdomen from last 10 days.
Should i get my ultrasound checkup or wait for few days.

Brief Answer:
Lower left side contains colon
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Lower left side pain seems to be in colon. It can also be related to kidneys/stones. Kindly describe your symptoms in detail so that I am better able to help. Does it get worse on pressing? Are you able to pinpoint the pain? Do you have any other symptoms like fever, nausea, diarrhea, blood in stools, etc.? Any mass felt in the area? Any change in urination?
I will suggest that you first get evaluated by a general surgeon. He will physically examine you and will suggest further tests.
Alternatively you can go for ultrasound whole abdomen and upload the report for me to view.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vaishalee Punj
