Therefore, if abdominal pain occurs and it does not ease after resting and applying hot compresses, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately to avoid delaying the condition!

Some women may experience abdominal pain during breastfeeding. In the early stages of breastfeeding, it may be because the uterus has not recovered after giving birth. It is a normal physiological phenomenon of uterine repair. After a period of time, the uterus recovers and the abdominal pain will subside. In addition, abdominal pain in women may be caused by gynecological inflammation, including cervical erosion, adnexitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease, which can all cause abdominal pain.

In addition, some women may suffer from digestive tract diseases during breastfeeding due to poor diet, including acute gastroenteritis, intestinal cramps, and even intestinal obstruction and gastrointestinal confusion. In short, if abdominal pain occurs during breastfeeding, go to the hospital for examination in time, identify the condition, and carry out symptomatic treatment.

Lower abdominal pain is caused by inflammation of the gynecological pelvic organs, such as cystitis, cervicitis, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, pelvic effusion, etc. It may also be due to inflammation of the digestive tract, abdominal pain caused by abnormal contraction of the intestines or abnormal secretion of digestive enzymes. The diagnosis cannot be made simply from the symptoms. The patient should also combine other symptoms as well as physical examination and laboratory test results to diagnose the cause of the disease. If there is actual gynecological inflammation, the patient needs to be examined to determine whether it is bacterial, viral, chlamydia or Trichomonas infection, and targeted oral or intravenous drip of sensitive antibiotics for treatment.
