[|Human|] I ve been having major discomfort and sharp pains in my upper left abdominal region. For the past week and a half. Also, I can seem to fart a lot but not poop as often and when I do its little 2 to four inch poops. There is somewhat of a bulge too but not extremely noticeable on my upper left abdominal region. Please can anyone explain what might be going on.
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Sharp pain on left upper side of abdomen is suggestive of pleural pain. Pleura is a double layered covering that encloses the lungs. Infection, inflammation or any other disease process can involve pleura and thus cause pleural pain. Spleen is the other organ which is present in left upper qua Chat Doctor. Infection, inflammation or any other disease process can affect the spleen and thus cause t the pain, Thus, clinical assessment is compulsory. Thanks and take
