Why do I feel a dull pain in my lower abdomen on the right side during early pregnancy?

In the early stages of pregnancy, there is a slight cramp in the right lower abdomen. If it is transient, it is generally okay and there is no need to worry too much. But if it is persistent, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a physical examination of human chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone levels and a gynecological B-ultrasound to determine whether it is an intrauterine or ectopic pregnancy. If it is an intrauterine pregnancy but is accompanied by vaginal bleeding and back pain, then you must stay in bed and take fetal protection treatment. You should not be tired, and temporarily avoid eating chicken games, longans, lychees, oranges, and spicy foods. If no fetal sac is seen in the uterine cavity, you should be alert to the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.

In early pregnancy, the uterus expands and compresses the tissues located in the pelvis. The pregnant uterus tends to rotate to the right, so it is easier to compress the organs on the right side of the abdomen, causing a dull pain in the right abdomen. If this type of sensory nerve damage is mild, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. It is recommended that pregnant women sleep on their left side as much as possible, exercise moderately, but not do strenuous exercise, do not eat spicy or fried foods, conduct regular prenatal checkups, and do a good job of eugenics before pregnancy.

If you experience lower abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy, it is recommended that you first rest in bed and avoid activities as much as possible. Also, pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm and observe whether there is significant relief or vaginal bleeding. If there is no improvement or the symptoms worsen, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible to check the status and location of the gestational sac by B-ultrasound to see if it is caused by threatened abortion or ectopic pregnancy. If the examination confirms threatened miscarriage, you must stay in bed and take medication to preserve the pregnancy. The most important thing is to identify the cause and carry out targeted treatment.

In the early stages of pregnancy, the growth hormone in the pregnant woman's body undergoes a drastic change, and the metabolism of some sensory nerve sensitizers such as arachidonic acid increases, causing the sensory nerves to become more sensitive. In this sense, some vague cramps in the lower abdomen of pregnant women in the early stage are physiological and normal. They are a normal reaction caused by pregnancy. If you experience abdominal pain or spotting during pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for a physical examination immediately to check the progesterone level and blood chorionic gonadotropin, and do an ultrasound if necessary to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
