Constipation can cause pain and pressure in this area, especially if stools are hard, dry, and difficult to pass. Gas may be the cause, or inflammation of the wall of your colon.

Other organs in the area may also cause pain. The uterus, ovaries, bladder and small intestine are all nearby. Disorders with these organs may also cause pain. Premenstrual cramping, and yeast infections are some examples.
