    left side of the abdomen is often constipation

    the poo is trying to get around the curves of the bowel and pain occurs on the left

    go to your dr, get checked and get something to help you

    Sounds like constipation. We all get it every once in a while. Try eating lots of fiber, or better yet, take Metamucil. If it gets worse, you can try something stronger like X-Lax. If it doesn't go away after you've tried self-treatment, though, see a doctor. If constipation goes on too long, it can be unhealthy and need medical treatment. Besides, you don't want to go on feeling like that forever.

    as well as fibre drink lots of water. dehydration can cause it / make it worse. Try not to push really really hard or you might get a haemorroid. just try to push a little bit and relax.
