What Causes Abdominal Pain on the Left Side?
Left-sided abdominal pain can be caused by numerous conditions. According to the American College of Gastroenterology, abdominal pain can emerge from any of the abdominal structures or the abdominal wall. Abdominal pain can also originate in other parts of the body, such as the chest, back and pelvis, and occur in different areas of the abdomen. Sometimes pain is concentrated on the left side of the abdomen and is caused by left-sided abdominal structures.
