Why does a woman have stomach pain when she is pregnant?

Why do women have stomach pain when they just get pregnant? Many women will find that they have stomach pain when they just get pregnant, but they go to the hospital for a check-up and there is no problem. Finally, the doctor diagnoses it as a threatened abortion and recommends treatment to preserve the fetus. In fact, there are many reasons why women have abdominal pain when they are just pregnant. Among them, there are normal physiological pain and pathological pain. Patients need to find the cause of abdominal pain in order to treat the disease symptomatically. The reasons for abdominal pain in women when they are just pregnant are:

Physiological abdominal pain: In the early stages of pregnancy, many expectant mothers always feel some stomach pain, sometimes accompanied by early pregnancy reactions such as vomiting. This is mainly caused by increased gastric acid secretion in the early stages of pregnancy.

Pathological abdominal pain: If you experience abdominal pain in early pregnancy, especially lower abdominal pain, the first thing you should consider is whether it is a pregnancy complication. Common complications include threatened miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.

1. If a pregnant woman experiences paroxysmal lower abdominal pain or regular abdominal pain, back pain, or pelvic pain in the first few months of pregnancy, the problem may be more complicated. If it is accompanied by vaginal spotting or a noticeable feeling of heaviness in the abdomen, it may indicate premonitory bleeding.

2. If you experience severe unilateral lower abdominal pain, accompanied by vaginal bleeding or fainting, it may be an ectopic pregnancy and you should go to the hospital immediately.

Pregnancy causes the sphincter to relax, leading to acid reflux. The gradually enlarging uterus presses on the stomach and intestines, making it easier for stomach acid to reflux. It's caused by stomach disease. Lower abdominal pain in pregnant women: During pregnancy, lower abdominal pain caused by blockage or malnutrition of the uterine vessels and poor circulation of qi and blood is called pregnancy abdominal pain. The pathogenesis of this disease is mainly blood deficiency, qi stagnation, deficiency-cold, etc., which lead to obstruction of the uterine vessels or malnutrition of the uterine vessels, poor circulation of qi and blood, and thus abdominal pain. The lesions are only in the uterine vessels and have not yet damaged the fetus. However, in severe cases, the fetus may be affected due to uterine vessel blockage, blood circulation obstruction, and fetal malnutrition.

When pregnant women experience abdominal pain in early pregnancy, they must take measures to relieve it, such as:

1. Physiological abdominal pain: Pay attention to diet. The meal should be light and easy to digest. You can eat some toasted steamed bread slices or soda crackers for breakfast. The discomfort will disappear naturally as the first trimester ends.

2. Postpartum women and expectant mothers should reduce their activities, stay in bed more, avoid sexual intercourse, avoid lifting heavy objects, drink enough water, and seek medical attention promptly. If pain worsens or bleeding continues, seek medical attention immediately.

When a patient asks why a woman has stomach pain when she just got pregnant, we need to make a judgment based on the patient's pregnancy cycle, physical symptoms, examination results, etc. Most of the time, abdominal pain is normal, and as long as the patient takes timely measures to preserve the fetus, it can return to normal. However, if patients experience abdominal pain for a long time, they must pay attention to it to prevent other diseases from causing abdominal pain.
