Define 'acute'. It's a very poor description for you to give to someone, as your idea of 'acute' is quite possibly very different to the medical meaning of 'acute'.
Define 'pelvic'. It's a very poor description for you to give to someone, as your idea of 'pelvic' is quite possibly very different to the medical/anatomical meaning of 'pelvic'.
At any rate, with just the pain as a symptom it's very hard to give an idea, but it would trigger me to ask about:
- Where in the 'pelvic' area? One sided, or both? Is anywhere in the region tender to touch/press?
- Any pain on urination or change in colour/frequency of urination?
- Any fever? Any vomiting?
- Any change in your stools or your bowel frequency/any pain?
- Any unprotected* sex, especially with new or casual partners but with anyone?
- Any abnormal discharge?
- Any disturbances to your normal cycle?
- Additional to all of the above, one also always has to ask a lady with tummy pain: could you be pregnant?
*Read: no BARRIER method, i.e. condom
I'n being mainly academic - as always, go speak to your GP.

Is the pain constant or does it come and go?
Ovulation pain (mid-cycle, left or right side) can be quite severe and can last for up to 2 days.
Cystitis (bladder infection) causes pain above the pubic area; often: fever, burning urination.
There are quite some other possible causes, but hard to say without more symptoms (ruptured ovarian cyst, ectopic pregnancy, twisted salpinx, colon diverticles, pelvic inflammatory disease...)

Lower abdominal pain on the left hand side and the pain comes and goes but it's very sharp. It's only on my left side. I haven't had any casual sex or sex in general recently so I have ruled that out and I never usually suffer from unbearable period pains or have issues with my periods that paracetamol can't handle.
Could be ovulation pains; I occasionally get them but most months I don't.
