Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
The pain in the left lower abdomen may be due to diverituculitis. A CT scan may be done to confirm it. Gallstone pain occurs in the right upper abdomen.

Constipation itself can cause discomfort in the abdomen.
I would advise you to get examined by your doctor.
If it is diverticulitis, then you may require a course of antibiotics.
For simple constipation you may have to take high fiber diet, fiber supplements and drink lot of fluids.

I hope that answers your question.
Regards.
