What Causes Sharp Pain In Lower Left Abdomen?

for the last two days, out of nowhere, I am experiencing a sharp stabbing pain in my lower abdomen. It seems to be concentrated mainly to the lower left, but occasionally, I feel it through the entire lower abdomen region. It comes and goes. Going to the bathroom seems to relieve it somewhat, but I can still feel a pressure even when not experiencing the stabbing pains
