What Does Severe Pain In The Lower Abdomen On The Left Side Indicate?

Hi, My doctor recently advised I may have pcos. Today I have experienced extreme sharp pain on the bottom lower left side of my abdomen and I have been passing blood vaginally. I now have a full cramping and I have vomited. I feel ok other than this and I have no temperature. I called my doctors office but they were so busy and I was at work all day and couldn t leave. I am wondering if I need to visit my emergency room as I am afraid I have a ruptured cyst. I have had this bleeding before and extreme pain and it usually passes. My periods are irregular,I have absent periods but I feel this is not a period. Please advise as I am very worried , Thank you Dervla ,27 ,ireland

hi sir/madam,
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.

Common Causes of Lower Left Back Pain:-

1.Bulging or herniated discs.
2.Muscle spasms.
3.Pulled back muscle.
4.Muscle imbalances.
5.Muscle strain, injury or trauma to the back muscles, ligaments or joints.
6.Trigger points.
7.Stress / Negative emotions.

If lower left back pain is particularly severe, it may be an indication of a herniated or ruptured disc, or sciatica.

Recommended Treatments for Lower Left Side Back Pain:-

1.Muscle Balance Therapy.
2.Massage Therapy.
3.Trigger Point Therapy.
4.Inversion / Decompression Therapy.
5.Acupuncture / Acupressure.
6.Use a Back Support or Cushion.
7Relaxation, Meditation.
8.Dietary improvements (ie. reducing foods that cause inflammation like dairy, wheat / gluten, sugar, nightshades).
9.Drink more clean, filtered water.

Left Side Back Pain Prevention:-

1. While walking and sitting, keep a relatively upright posture
2. When lifting objects (heavy or light), always lift with the legs-never bend from the waist
3 .Exercise; focus on working out the muscles in the core (abdomen and back)
4. Daily Stretching.

Have a healthy day.
