What is the reason for the pain on the left side of the girl's lower abdomen?

When women experience abdominal pain, it is usually caused by gynecological diseases, but when this happens, many women choose to endure it or simply use painkillers to relieve the pain. In fact, if the cause of the disease is not clear, these treatment methods are inappropriate. After all, some gynecological diseases require formal treatment. So, what causes pain on the left side of a woman's lower abdomen? Let's take a closer look at it below.

1. Dysmenorrhea: Dysmenorrhea without any lesions in the uterus and pelvic cavity is primary dysmenorrhea. The self-healing rate of this type of dysmenorrhea may increase with age.

2. If you are pregnant, it may be an ectopic pregnancy: An ectopic pregnancy starts with severe tearing pain in the lower abdomen on the affected side, and later the pain spreads to the entire abdomen. The degree and nature of pain are related to the amount and speed of internal bleeding.

Ovulation abdominal pain When adolescent girls ovulate, the follicle ruptures and the follicular fluid may have a certain stimulating effect on the peritoneum, so they sometimes experience mild abdominal pain that alternates between the left and right sides once a month. This is physiological, and the symptoms are mostly unilateral lower abdominal pain, dull pain or heaviness-like pain. Some girls also have a small amount of vaginal bleeding, that is, ovulation bleeding, which usually disappears on its own after one or two days, and usually does not exceed seven days. This type of abdominal pain usually does not cause any pathological changes, and the gynecological examination is completely normal. It is physiological abdominal pain and generally does not require treatment. 2. Dysmenorrhea Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea.

Primary pain is often seen in adolescent girls. It is caused by prostaglandin levels, cold, emotional and psychological factors in the body, but there is no organic disease. It can usually heal itself with age or after marriage and childbirth. Common causes of secondary pain are endometriosis and adenomyosis. The symptoms include gradually increasing pain, often in a cyclical pattern, or dull pain in the lower abdomen during non-menstrual periods that worsens before and after menstruation. In addition, it is often accompanied by infertility and menstrual disorders, which often require drug treatment.

3. Ovarian corpus luteum rupture. This is caused by excessive bleeding in the corpus luteum, accompanied by sudden onset of abdominal pain in the lower abdomen or one side, and in severe cases, shock may occur. Most cases of ovarian corpus luteum rupture occur between the 20th and 26th days of the menstrual cycle, and lower abdominal pain may occur at the onset, with varying degrees of severity. Before the corpus luteum of the ovary ruptures, the ovary will experience congestion and swelling. This process can be triggered when the ovary is affected by external or indirect external forces, especially when it is congested before menstruation, such as due to straining during bowel movements, trauma, sexual intercourse, or strenuous activity. It is best to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately after the occurrence of ovarian corpus luteum rupture. Do not abuse painkillers on your own to avoid masking symptoms and affecting normal diagnosis and treatment.

4. Ovarian cyst pedicle torsion or rupture. This is because the pedicle of the cyst is long and large, has no adhesions to the surrounding area, and is highly mobile. It twists when affected by intestinal peristalsis or changes in body position. When the pedicle of an ovarian tumor is twisted, pain suddenly occurs on one side of the lower abdomen, which is persistent colic, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting; there may be obvious tenderness and muscle tension in the abdomen; digital rectal examination may reveal swollen and tender appendages. Ovarian cysts may also rupture, and the contents of the cysts may irritate the peritoneum and cause severe pain. B-ultrasound examination can confirm the diagnosis. Emergency surgery is usually required.

The above is an introduction to what causes pain on the left side of a woman’s lower abdomen. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. After understanding the specific factors that cause pain on the left side of women's lower abdomen, in daily life, once similar symptoms occur, they must be dealt with rationally and not simply endured. After all, the harm caused by some gynecological diseases is immeasurable, and regular gynecological examinations are also quite necessary.
