What could this be? Lower left abdomen / bowel thing

[Obvs]

I just wondered if this sounded familiar to anybody in the world. It's my husband with the issue, we're at a loss and have had no answers so far with tests. So I'm hoping for news of others experiences! And thank you in advance. The problem is:

Constant pain in the lower left abdomen. Had blood tests (all reassuring), palpation (no pain when pressed). No change in bowel habits. No bleeding. Does not generally get worse when eating. Negative for coeliac. Suspected hernia, been for ultrasound: nothing. It's not a hernia. Now been told next step is CAT scan / colonoscopy.

The only symptom is a constant pain, nothing else. It's a dull pain, not sharp. But it never goes away. It's been like this since the beginning of the year. He says he is more aware of it when he bends over or lies on his left side and sometimes after eating a very big meal.But nothing in particular makes it worse, it's just always the same.

I've googled so much and just can't get anywhere. Do these symptoms sound familiar to anybody?

Could it it be prostate?

Thanks for response, prostate hasn't been mentioned at all. Would it cause these symptoms?

I wondered if it sounds like diverticulitis but I can't really find examples of experiences

Tbh I would have thought someone medical would have mentioned it by now if they thought it was possible, so maybe not... DH had a prostate problem, but peeing habits changing was a major symptom, not sure if he had any of the above.

Diverticulosis does often present with lower left abdominal pain, so that could be the reason, a CT scan and colonoscopy should confirm if it is. Hope he gets an answer soon!

Thanks @NanTheWiser , we're getting so tired with worrying!

Hopeful bump

Does he suffer with back pain OP, I sometimes get groin and abd left pain referred from my back

Thanks @Galwaygirl - no back pain. It doesn't seem to fit with anything. So worried it's cancer, thinking worst case scenarios

Just one last bump

Don’t know whether this is similar Left pain round above rib for over year reflux though, been on and still continuing with omperazole had celiac test negetive had h polari test negative it’s now taking over my life has been for last 5 months, constant pain going into every area of stomach mines pressure pain like being pumped up, been waiting for a abdominal and pelvic scan which is now being done ct on Tuesday , I’m thinking of everything from stomach ulcers, to cancer simply because nothing helping it

I have which could be referred pain into left hip I’m saying could be referred as I haven’t done a thing to make my hip hurt

Thank you for your response. Hope you feel better soon and that you get to the bottom of it!

I did ask him if it could be referred pain eg from lifting kids but I don't think so
