im a 46 year old male in general good health. Over the last 24 hours i have nad a stitch like pain in the lower left side of my stomach (above the hip area). If i press the area it is not tender but if a walk around i know it is there with random amounts of discomfort given. What could it be ?
As per your description pain or heaviness in lower abdomen above the hip area can be due to inguinal hernia, which become symptomatic on walking, coughing or straining. You should consult a physician to confirm it.
