causes of pain on the left side
For instance, herpes zoster may impact the skin and underlying nerves of many different areas of the body, including the abdomen. A slipped disk can compress the nerves of the abdomen, causing pain, and any mass on the left side of a woman's body can cause pain by pressing on other abdominal structures. Sometimes when a woman feels pain on the left side of the abdomen, it really originates from a problem elsewhere, such as the heart or lungs.
