I am experiencing lower abdominal pain on the left side, just below my belly button. It feels like something is blocked. I am already taking medication for irritable bowel syndrome, but it has not helped. What could be causing this?
Persistent lower left abdominal pain that feels like a blockage may be caused by diverticulitis (inflammation of small pouches in the colon), a buildup of gas or stool, kidney stones, or other digestive problems. Please consult your doctor for a proper examination to identify the underlying cause.
