Does A Stabbing Pain In The GI Tract Require Medical Attention?

Hi Dr. Rynne! I have a 15-year-old with a sharp, stabbing pain in her left, lower GI tract. It comes and goes. She s not in a lot of distress so I think it s a gas pain or muscle strain. But, she is a Leukemia survivor so I tend to be an alarmist. What acceleration of symptoms would require an urgent care visit?
