Lower Left Abdominal Pain and Frequent Urination: Causes and When to Seek Help

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

The pain in your lower left abdomen when sitting could be caused by several factors:

Hernia: Pain that worsens when sitting or standing but improves when lying down may indicate a hernia.

Kidney Stones: Pain from kidney stones can be aggravated when sitting, with relief when changing positions.

Urinary Tract Issues: Frequent urination and abdominal pain could signal a UTI or kidney stones.

Gastrointestinal Issues: Conditions like diverticulitis or IBS can cause localized pain.

It's essential to consult a healthcare provider for a full examination and potential imaging to determine the exact cause of your symptoms.

Thanks
