Menstrual pain is a common physiological phenomenon among women. When menstruation comes, there will be varying degrees of lower abdominal pain, sometimes even accompanied by symptoms such as bloating, chills, diarrhea, and back pain.

When women experience this kind of physiological menstrual pain, it is recommended that they go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for examination first. If the possibility of gynecological diseases is ruled out, there is no need to worry. You can apply hot compresses or take painkillers to relieve the pain.

It is worth noting that if you experience menstrual cramps that are different from previous ones, you should not take it lightly. You should see a doctor for examination and record information such as when the menstrual cramps started, where the cramps were located, how long they lasted, etc., to provide the doctor with diagnosis.

When women experience lower abdominal pain, excluding reasons such as cyclical menstrual pain and gastrointestinal dysfunction, they must consider whether it is a gynecological problem, such as: endometriosis, ovarian cyst rupture, ovarian or ovarian cyst torsion, pelvic inflammation, uterine fibroids, ovarian tumors, ectopic pregnancy, abdominal or pelvic adhesions... etc. In order to avoid missing the golden period of treatment, if women have unexplained lower abdominal pain, they should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Abdominal pain is one of the common clinical symptoms, but because abdominal pain is mostly sporadic, patients often take it lightly.
