What Causes Hardness In Upper Left Abdominal Area?
I am f 36 yrs old. History of PCOS. Weight problem but otherwise healthy. For the last few days I have been experiencing not pain but a very bovious discomfort in my upper left abdominal area. It can become worse after eating but not always. My upper left abdomen is harder than normal most of the time. I have not had a period since 14 nov 2010 which is not unheard of with my polycystic ovarian disease. All preg tests say negative. It is very uncomfotable to lie on my left hand side in bed since this all began about 5 days ago.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
You have a problem just for 5 days , which you give a history of hardness in upper left abdominal pain and increases on eating off and on.
This can be due to gastritis or pancreatic problem or costochondritis of the are on the left side.
An examination by a Doctor and ultrasonography and upper GI endoscopy can help you the diagnosis.
The late periods or irregularity in periods is known to occur in PCOS, ultrasonography will also help in confirming the problem and can take treatment under the guidance of a Gynecologist.
