Could this be a cyst? Please help me!

Hi- need help.  Back in July, I had an episode of severe pain in my lower left abdomen.  It came in waves but was so strong I had difficulty standing.  Lasted about two hours and then subsided.  Since then, almost three months later, I have had a dull, aching cramp-like feeling in the same spot of my lower left abdomen.  It comes and goes throughout the day and there have been a day or two when I don't feel anything.  It has not been as severe as that day back in July and doesn't seem to be worsening.  No other symptoms- periods are the same, bowel movements are the same. appetite is good.

I had a C-Section birth 18 years ago (I am 47 years old) and I now have an IUD.  

Really worried- not sure what is causing this.  Should I see my gynecologist or my regular physician?  Starting to worry this is serious and now I have ignored it for a few months.  Please help!

Thanks for your reply.  I realize this symptom could be caused by many things.  I suppose I will make an appointment with my gynecologist and start there.  Keep trying to wait it out but after almost three months, that may not be the wise thing to do.

Thanks for taking the time to help me- appreciate it!

It's possible you had an ovarian cyst that ruptured. The IUD could also be the cause. But of course it could be something entirely different and not even gyn related.
