What causes left side abdominal pain with a history of PCOS?
Patient: 26 year old, white female, 200lbs, 5'6", +hx for PCOS.  Currently having mild-moderate left side abd pain x2days.  Laxative produces bowel movement w/o strain or discomfort.  Pain increased with pressure to area and sudden movement.  I'm not sure if it is muscular, ovarian (although it doesn't feel like usual ovarian pain) bowel obstruction, divirticulits? Doctor: most likely it sounds like diverticultiis and i suggest antibiotic treatment with cipro and metronidazolum. if you are not sure you need to do ct scan.  wish you good health. Regards
