Causes of pain in the left lower abdomen of women

Nowadays, the pace of life in society is fast and the work pressure is high. Therefore, many people choose not to take some minor illnesses and pains seriously and ignore them as long as they do not affect their normal life and work. However, because of this, their own negligence may lead to further development of the disease, thus turning a minor illness into a major illness. For example, today we are going to talk about the pain in the left lower abdomen of women when pressing. What is the cause of this problem?

Women's lower abdominal pain can occur in two types: acute abdominal pain and chronic abdominal pain.

1. Acute lower abdominal pain may be caused by the following reasons: acute inflammation of pelvic organs, such as adnexitis and localized enteritis; perforation or rupture of pelvic and abdominal organs, such as ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cyst rupture, gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric cancer, appendicitis, gallbladder perforation and rupture of appendix abscess, among which ectopic pregnancy rupture and appendix perforation abscess are the most common. In addition, acute intestinal obstruction, stones in abdominal organs, acute blood flow disorders in pelvic organs, such as ovarian tumor torsion, hydrosalpinx torsion, intestinal torsion, as well as parasites, dysmenorrhea, and pelvic and abdominal trauma can all cause acute lower abdominal pain. Some abdominal pain occurs at or near the lesion site, while others are not at the lesion site. As the disease progresses, the location of the abdominal pain changes.

2. Chronic abdominal pain is mainly characterized by dull pain in the lower abdomen and sacral pain. It is mostly caused by chronic cervicitis, chronic adnexitis, chronic pelvic connective tissue inflammation, pelvic congestion, retroverted uterus, uterine hypertrophy, uterine prolapse, etc. Symptoms such as dull pain in the lower abdomen, a feeling of heaviness, and backache are often aggravated after fatigue, standing for a long time, after sexual intercourse, and during menstruation. A considerable portion of chronic low back pain is not related to gynecological diseases, such as sacroiliac joint strain, lumbar muscle strain, intervertebral disc herniation and other diseases. Attention should be paid to the onset time, intensity, duration or intermittence of the pain, whether the pain changes or expands after the onset, whether the pain refuses to be pressed or likes to be pressed, whether there are associated symptoms such as chills, fever, nausea, vomiting, constipation, excessive flatulence, amenorrhea or menstrual disorders, and whether there is a lumps. Tension, resistance, and compression of the abdominal muscles are mostly caused by inflammation or bleeding; relaxation is mostly caused by uterine muscle contraction or urinary system diseases. The sensation of pain depends not only on the stimulation of the lesion, but also on the neuropsychiatric state of the body.

From the above introduction, I believe many female friends are wondering why women feel pain when pressing on the left lower abdomen? With a certain understanding, when the lower abdomen is painful due to long-term pressing, you must pay attention to it and cannot ignore it. The consequences are unpredictable. For your own health, do not ignore any abnormalities in any part of the body.
