What are the causes of pain in the lower left abdomen of women?

Many women often experience abdominal pain. Some abdominal pains are in different locations and last for different durations, and the relative reasons are also different. Some women experience pain on the left side of their lower abdomen, but very few people investigate the specific reasons. Here, the editor has compiled various reasons why women experience pain in the lower left abdomen, hoping to help some friends.

The main causes of pain in the lower left abdomen of women are as follows:

1. Non-inflammatory pain on the left side of the lower abdomen in women: common intra-abdominal bleeding caused by ectopic pregnancy. The pain symptoms vary depending on the amount and speed of bleeding. When the pedicle of an ovarian tumor twists, pain suddenly occurs on one side of the lower abdomen and is persistent colic, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. In addition, ovarian cysts may rupture, and the contents of the ruptured cysts may irritate the peritoneum and cause pain.

2. Pain on the left side of the lower abdomen in women caused by acute inflammation: including acute salpingo-oophoritis, acute endometritis, pelvic peritonitis and acute pelvic cellulitis. It is also seen in sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea. This type of sexually transmitted disease includes gonococcal infection and chlamydia infection, which often recur and can cause fallopian tube pyosalpinx in severe cases.

3. Acute abdominal pain may occur when uterine perforation occurs during artificial abortion or IUD insertion. Ovarian endometrial cysts (chocolate cysts) may grow larger and rupture during menstruation, and the cyst contents may irritate the peritoneum and cause severe abdominal pain.

4. Persistent left lower abdominal pain accompanied by vomiting may be due to intestinal obstruction.

5. If you suddenly experience left lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding 6 weeks after amenorrhea, ectopic pregnancy should be considered. When women of childbearing age experience abdominal pain, a gynecological acute abdomen should be considered.

6. Paroxysmal colic in the flank or lower abdomen, radiating to the waist, back, and perineum, accompanied by frequent urination and hematuria indicates ureteral stones.

7. Abdominal pain accompanied by diarrhea should be considered whether the patient has infectious diseases such as enteritis, dysentery, and cholera.

After reading the above reasons, I believe you already have a very clear understanding of the causes of abdominal pain. If this happens, the best way is to go to the hospital in time to find out the cause of this situation. Timely symptomatic treatment is the most correct choice. You must fully accept the signals sent by the body and do not ignore them.
