What Can Be The Cause Of Lower Abdominal Pain?
I had a partial colectomy due to diverticulitis almost 2 years ago- still having lower left abdominal pain . Some days really bad. Also going from 10 BMs a day to constipation. Drs can t find any reason for pain. Had colonoscopy that showed focal ulceration and granulation tissue but again dr said not the cause. At wits end . I previously had hysterectomy and appendectomy, so what else could it be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is a atypical presentation that is why diagnosis is going to be a bit difficult , meaning one can not really pin-point the cause.
As per your history there is a focal ulceration and granulation tissues. This is indicative of an active process and you may have to undergo re-surgery if not amenable to the medical management.
Prior CT scan of abdomen can help rule out other probable causes.
