What causes women's lower abdominal pain?

Normally, both men and women should not feel pain in the lower abdomen. Since there is a uterus inside the lower abdomen of women, special attention should be paid to the lower abdomen of women, which is the most important organ for women. If women experience discomfort and pain in the lower abdomen, they must pay attention to it. According to gynecological experts, this is most likely an attack of vaginitis, so women should pay special attention to it at this time and go for examination and treatment in time. Let’s take a look at it below.

The pain in the lower abdomen is initially considered to be vaginitis and urethritis. First, the disease and the pathogen of infection should be confirmed through urine routine, leucorrhea routine, etc., and sensitive drugs should be used for treatment under the guidance of the doctor. During the treatment of vaginitis and other diseases, pay attention to rest, keep a good mood, keep hygiene, refrain from sexual life, bathing in the tub, and persist in treatment until the inflammation and infection are negative and cured.

Symptoms of vaginitis

Fungal vaginitis

Monilial or mycotic vaginitis is caused by fungal infection. Its incidence rate is second only to Trichomonas vaginitis.

The most common symptoms of candidal infection are excessive vaginal discharge, burning and itching of the vulva and vagina, exogenous dysuria, and vulvar geographic erythema (fungal or candidal vulvovaginitis). Typical leucorrhea is curd-like or flaky, the vaginal mucosa is highly red and swollen, and white thrush-like plaques can be seen attached, which are easy to peel off. Underneath is an eroded base of damaged mucosa, or shallow ulcers may form. In severe cases, ecchymosis may remain.

However, not all leucorrhea has the above typical characteristics. It can range from watery to curd-like leucorrhea. Some are completely thin and clear serous exudates, which often contain white flakes. The itching symptoms of candidal vaginitis during pregnancy are particularly severe, and may even cause restlessness and abnormal pain. There may also be symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and pain during sexual intercourse. In addition, about 10% of women and 30% of pregnant women are carriers of mold but have no clinical symptoms.

Trichomonas vaginitis

Trichomonas vaginitis is a common vaginitis caused by Trichomonas vaginalis.

Increased leucorrhea and vulvar itching The main symptoms of Trichomonas vaginitis are increased thin, foamy leucorrhea and vulvar itching. If there is a mixed infection with other bacteria, the discharge will be purulent and may have a foul odor. The itching areas are mainly the vaginal opening and vulva, and there may occasionally be burning, pain, and dyspareunia.

If the urethra is infected, frequent urination and painful urination may occur, and sometimes hematuria may be seen. During the examination, the vaginal mucosa can be seen to be congested. In severe cases, there are scattered bleeding spots. There is a large amount of leucorrhea in the posterior fornix, which is grayish yellow, yellow-white thin liquid or yellow-green purulent secretion, often in a foamy state. There may be no abnormalities found in the vaginal mucosa of carriers.

A small number of patients have Trichomonas in the vagina without any inflammatory response, and they are called carriers. Some people believe that Trichomonas cannot cause inflammation when it exists alone, because it consumes glycogen in the vaginal epithelial cells, changes the vaginal acidity and alkalinity, destroys the defense mechanism, and promotes secondary bacterial infection. Therefore, it often causes inflammation when the vaginal pH changes before and after menstruation, during pregnancy or after childbirth.

The most common lower abdominal pain in clinical medicine is mostly caused by vaginitis. Therefore, if you experience lower abdominal pain, you must go to the hospital for examination in time, accept the guidance of experts, and receive targeted treatment. Remember, you cannot ignore this situation. If you do not take vaginitis seriously, it will not only fail to heal without treatment, but will aggravate the condition and lead to the occurrence of other diseases, so you must take it seriously.
