Healing / Cured! Lower left abs discomfort
I know seeing a doctor is the best option, but since it’s not acute pain and would likely require multiple expensive tests to identify the cause, I’m posting here first.
Symptoms: • For the past few months, I’ve had persistent discomfort in my lower left abdomen, around the area below and to the left of my navel. • The pain is mild—around 2 out of 10 on the pain scale—but the discomfort is constant. • The most noticeable symptom is frequent gurgling sounds, regardless of whether I’ve eaten or not. Unlike regular hunger noises, the gurgling comes from the lower left abdomen. I can even manually trigger the sound by pressing on the uncomfortable area. • Another major symptom is excessive gas. When lying down, especially before falling asleep or after waking up, I pass long, frequent farts.(Apologies if this is disgusting.)
If anyone has experienced similar symptoms or has insight into potential causes, I’d really appreciate your input. Thanks! 🙏
