Gender Specific Problems
There are problems specific to your gender. Women for example are likely to experience Mittelschmerz and Pelvic inflammatory diseases unlike the men. Mittelschmerz occurs during ovulation in a span of two weeks. It is an on and off sensation that may be severe to stop you from your normal duties for a few minutes.
Pelvic inflammatory disease on the other hand, causes excessive bleeding and worsens during sex.
Twisted ovaries and endometriosis are also feminine problems of the left side pain. A twisted ovary condition is called ovarian torsion and occurs when a cyst develops on the left ovary.
Endometriosis is responsible for discomfort shortly before, during and shortly after your periods. The pain will either be constrained on the lower left or extend to the entire back when extreme.
Torsion of the testicles and Epididymo-orchitis are masculine issues. Torsion of the testicles affects the scrotum but leads to discomfort on the lower part of the left abdomen. It is common in men below the age of 25 causing the testis to get very tender. Epididymo-orchitis in men causes inflammation of testis too. It is caused by an infection and results in a swollen scrotum. It also becomes red and very tender.
