Suggest Treatment For Intermittent Pain In Lower Left Pelvic Area

default
Posted on Tue, 14 Jun 2016
Question: I have a dull achy pain in my lower left pelvic area that comes and goes mainly. Sometimes this dull pain is accompany by left testicle pain same thing a dull achy pain and lower left hip pain. I also have acid reflux and I do smoke and I was drinking 6 beers a day usually 3 times a week. Could this be ibs? Do you think it's something serious? I also have in my stomach area pain that isn't dull more moderate pain that comes and goes. When I burp or have gas in my chest or stomach area I put my hand on my stomach and on my lower left side towards the bottom of my abdomen and I feel the gas goes right to those areas. Can you please leave me detailed feedback. Also, once in awhile I have a dull achy feeling in my lower left back and sometimes the pain is in my hip and testcile area at the same time. I'm worried since I do have mild acid reflux and I been drinking a lot and smoking do you think this can be cancer or a kidney problem? I did quick drinking recently and have noticed I don't have as much gas or bloating as much. I do get nasusea sometimes but that can be from me stopping drinking. THE MAIN PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THAT DULL ACHE IN MY LOWER LEFT PELVIC AREA. THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN IT IS RIGHT ABOVE MY LEFT TESTICLE THE LEFT SIDE AREA WHICH I'M GUESSING IS YOUR PELVIC AREA. THIS PAIN USUALLY HAPPENS JUST ABOUT EVERYDAY AND IT COMES AND GOES. THE PAIN ISN'T TERRIBLE I WOULD SAY A 3-4 OUT OF A 10 BUT IT JUST ACHES.

Brief Answer:
Can be muscular pain or urinary infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The dull aching pain in the left pelvic area that is intermittent can be due to-
1. Muscular pain- mostly posture related. The pain subsides with change in posture. Mild pain killers and hot compress helps in pain relief.
2. Urinary infection- Usually associated with burning micturition or pain during erection.
Can be associated with mild fever or renal stones. Can be ruled out by a routine urine examination and ultrasound scan. Oral antibiotics and anti spasmodics are needed for treatment.
3. Gas and indigestion- Constipation and gastritis are aggravating factors. Consulting a gastroenterologist will help.
It is best to consult your physician for direct examination and few investigations to pin point the diagnosis.
I hope this answers your query.
