Why do I feel dull pain in my lower abdomen during early pregnancy?

Many women experience a dull pain in their lower abdomen during early pregnancy. Why is this? In fact, this reaction is different depending on each person's physical condition. However, this feeling will cause women to worry in the early stages of pregnancy. Therefore, as women, it is necessary for us to understand the reasons for the dull pain in the lower abdomen in the early stages of pregnancy so that we can experience various reactions during pregnancy with peace of mind. Let’s take a look at the causes of dull abdominal pain in early pregnancy.

In the early stages of pregnancy, many women experience a dull pain in the lower abdomen. Most of the lower abdominal pain during this period can be attributed to the enlargement of the uterus due to pregnancy, which causes the stretching of its ligaments. These are physiological and do not require medication. However, some lower abdominal pain in early pregnancy may be pathological, indicating that some bad situations have occurred. The most common lower abdominal pain in early pregnancy is threatened abortion, ectopic pregnancy, uterine leiomyoma, etc., which require timely treatment to avoid serious consequences.

1. Threatened abortion: The main clinical manifestations of abortion are lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy. If you find lower abdominal pain and bleeding in early pregnancy, you must be vigilant. 2. Ectopic pregnancy: Ectopic pregnancy refers to the situation where the embryo implants and develops not in the normal uterus, but outside the uterus, such as the fallopian tube, ovary, abdominal cavity, etc. In addition to being unable to grow healthily due to its incorrect developmental position, this type of embryo can also cause disease and harm to the mother, and needs to be actively handled and treated.

3. Uterine leiomyoma: Uterine leiomyoma may grow during pregnancy, and the impacts on pregnancy include fibroid necrosis, fibroid torsion, and direct interference with fetal development or obstruction of delivery. This type of pain usually comes suddenly, and the pain point is fixed, which is local pain. Because the uterus has abundant blood flow during pregnancy, it is not appropriate to remove uterine leiomyoma during this period. The pain caused by fibroid necrosis can only be controlled with supportive therapy with analgesics during pregnancy. If the treatment of this disease is delayed, it will often become a very difficult disease to treat, but it is not a terminal disease. Dear patients and friends, do not have too much psychological burden. Go to a regular hospital as soon as possible and let a doctor with many years of medical experience diagnose and treat you personally. Through scientific treatments, you can eliminate the disease and return to health.

To sum up, these are the reasons why pregnant women experience dull abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy. Once we know the reasons, we won’t have to worry too much. We know what kind of body constitution will have what kind of physical reaction. In this way, as women, we will be prepared in the early stages of pregnancy and will not panic to take other measures for related treatments. However, it is best for family members to understand it as well so that they can cooperate with the pregnant woman’s response during pregnancy.
