What to do if a woman has abdominal pain

Abdominal pain in women is one of the most common gynecological diseases. There are many reasons for abdominal pain in women. Some women will experience abdominal pain during ovulation, some women will also have abdominal pain during sexual intercourse, and some women will have abdominal pain a few days before menstruation, or abdominal pain during menstruation is what we call dysmenorrhea. There are many factors that cause abdominal pain in women. Here I will tell you how to deal with abdominal pain in women.

When women experience lower abdominal pain, it is mostly due to gynecological diseases, but it can also be caused by internal medicine and surgical diseases. Therefore, once women experience lower abdominal pain, they should carefully identify the nature of the pain in order to receive timely treatment.

△Pain caused by inflammation:

It is more common in adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, and often occurs in women of childbearing age. The pain is on one or both sides, accompanied by increased vaginal discharge. Chronic cases often present with dull pain, back pain or a feeling of heaviness; acute cases often present with abdominal pain that is resistant to pressure and is accompanied by fever.

△Pain caused by menstruation:

Lower abdominal pain and general discomfort that women experience during menstruation are mostly physiological phenomena. If the pain is severe, it is dysmenorrhea. Most cases of dysmenorrhea during adolescence are primary dysmenorrhea, which can heal itself; however, dysmenorrhea that occurs after menstruation is mostly caused by certain diseases, so you should seek medical attention early and do not use painkillers to solve the problem.

△Abdominal pain caused by certain gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis, often forms lumps near the ovaries, uterus, and rectum, which can aggravate abdominal pain before and during menstruation. Pain during sexual intercourse is also one of its characteristics. For example, pelvic bleeding or blood stasis can lead to pelvic pain, which often manifests itself in the base of one thigh.

△Abdominal pain caused by ovulation: A feeling of distension and pain in the lower abdomen occurs during the ovulation period, which is caused by the rupture of the follicle. Generally speaking, this pain does not affect health and has no adverse consequences. However, in a very small number of people, due to large rupture of the ovarian follicle during ovulation, damage to small blood vessels causes ovarian rupture and intra-abdominal bleeding, resulting in gynecological emergencies and requiring hospital treatment.

△Abdominal pain caused by physiological deformity:

Common conditions include hymen occlusion and vaginal septum. Symptoms include abdominal pain due to menstruation and obstruction of menstrual blood discharge during adolescence. The pain is closely related to menstruation and occurs cyclically, requiring surgical correction.

△Abdominal pain caused by tumors: Abdominal pain, bloating, back pain and a feeling of falling caused by tumors are generally persistent. If the tumor twists, ruptures, or bleeds, sudden abdominal pain often occurs. This is the "self-exposure" of the tumor and usually requires immediate surgical treatment.

△Abdominal pain caused by pregnancy: Women who are overdue or known to be pregnant may suddenly experience contraction-like pain in the middle of the lower abdomen or vaginal bleeding, which is often a sign of miscarriage. Lower abdominal pain caused by ectopic pregnancy is usually severe. Due to intra-abdominal bleeding, the patient will feel anal prolapse, frequent urge to defecate, pale face, dizziness and weakness, and may even go into shock, and immediate surgery is required.

△Abdominal pain caused by acute appendicitis: The pain starts in the upper abdomen and gradually moves to the right lower abdomen. It is also accompanied by nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, and fear of pressing the right lower abdomen. This disease should be treated in hospital emergency room as soon as possible.

To prevent abdominal pain in women, you must start with the most basic diet. The diet must be light, eat more vegetables and vegetarian food, and eat less spicy and irritating food. Especially in summer, iced drinks and ice cream are not allowed. Eat more warm things. Start with small things. Don't drink beer. Drinking too much alcohol can also cause gynecological diseases in women.
