Pain in the Left Upper Abdomen
Description:
Pain in the left upper abdomen, or left hypochondrium, can be caused by a variety of issues, including problems with organs such as the stomach, spleen, pancreas, or left kidney. It may also indicate a digestive or musculoskeletal issue. The nature and intensity of the pain, as well as accompanying symptoms, can help identify the underlying cause.
Common Causes:
- Gastritis or ulcers.
- Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
- Splenomegaly (enlargement of the spleen).
- Kidney stones or kidney infection (pyelonephritis).
- Muscular strain or injury in the abdominal wall.
- Digestive issues such as constipation or gas.
If the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or fever, medical attention is necessary to determine the cause and provide appropriate treatment.
