Hi Dr I am currently experiencing pain in my left lower abdomen that feels like it s radiating towards the back as well? The pain intensifies when I stand or walk and decreases when I lie down. The pain goes away when I drink a lot of water. What could this be?

In most cases it can be regulated by medications which include insulin supplements and enzymes for digestion Also alcohol is forbidden in these cases, and you should eat less fatty food, less sugar and more vegetables and boiled food.
