<bot>: Hi. Thanks for your query. The pain in the left lower abdomen on coughing is certainly serious. You should consult a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation, examination and investigations if required. The causes can be :-Hernia development-Muscle spasm or sprain -Adhesion as there is a history of surgery. Once the diagnosis is established, the treatment can be curative. Of course the treatment by ENT and /or Pulmonologist after clinical evaluation, examination and investigations is also most important. Take care
