Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a stabbing pain in my lower left back and pain in the left lower abdomen. I am thinking kidneys or bladder. Is has started to happen now when I have to use the bathroom but not all the time. I am a 56 year old woman who no longer has periods but started spotting a couple of days ago. I thought maybe my ovaries but not sure.
Left pelvic and back pain may be due to many reasons like pelvic pathology,genitourinary calculus,colitis,musculoskeletal reasons etc. You need proper clinical examination and routine investigations. Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,renal function test,urine RE/ME,ultrasound of abdomen.
Ultrasound of abdomen can exclude many possibilities. Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon. Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
