Hello!

Thank you for the query.

If you are male, such pain can be caused by prostate inflammation. The pain is very sharp, can be present in the rectum area and lower abdomen. Can come and go suddenly. Sometimes appears during urinating.

Lower left abdominal pain can be also caused by diverticulitis. This is possible if you have had chronic constipation. The pain can aggravate while passing the stool. Colonoscopy is necessary to diagnose it.
If you are older than 50, colon cancer should be also ruled out. To do that, colonoscopy is also necessary.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
