What are the possible causes of dull pain in the left lower abdomen?

Children usually start crying and have symptoms of dull pain in the lower left abdomen when they are between six months and one year old. This can be judged to be related to intussusception. Also, if a child who has begun to speak and will tell his parents about the symptoms tells his parents that he also has pain in this area, it can be judged to be related to intestinal obstruction. The possibility of dull pain in the lower left abdomen cannot be ruled out. It may also be due to other diseases, such as enteritis, tumors, etc.

intussusception. If a child aged 6 months to 1 year old cries, parents should consider whether the child has a stomachache. If the child cries in bursts, every 10-20 minutes, each cry lasts for 5-6 minutes before returning to normal. This situation is most likely intussusception, where one intestinal tube protrudes into another, causing cramps and intermittent pain (curling the body), which is primary intussusception. Then vomiting followed, and a few hours later, blood in the stool (like red fruit jam or soybean curd soup). Changes in eating habits are one of the important causes of intussusception. Children aged 5 or 6 years old usually have a small tumor growing on the ileocecal region. The tumor becomes entangled with the intestines, causing intussusception, which is secondary intussusception. Careful parents can feel a mass on their child's stomach, which is like a sausage, about 4-6 cm in size. Over time, the intussusception also changes. It may start in the right upper abdomen, then the upper abdomen, and then the left lower abdomen. Some intussusceptions are very loose and can protrude from the anus.

intestinal obstruction. Different ages have different intestinal obstructions. Children who have suffered from fetal peritonitis may also suffer from intestinal obstruction. Children who have undergone abdominal surgery may also develop adhesive intestinal obstruction. The symptoms are intermittent pain around the navel, accompanied by vomiting, vomiting undigested food, and small children vomiting milk curds and then vomiting bile-like substances. Sometimes, the child's intestines can be seen clearly in rows, and there are tender spots on the abdomen when touched (the pain is in an irregular position and is not allowed to be touched).

Tumor. Stomach pain may also be caused by a tumor. The child has pain below the navel, and a lump can be felt if touched carefully.
