Lower abdominal pain and bleeding 5 days after menstruation

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs every month for women, but after menstruation, many female friends will experience lower abdominal pain. What is the reason for this? According to some information collected by the editor, if a woman has lower abdominal pain after menstruation, she may have pelvic inflammatory disease. The symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease are lower abdominal pain, excessive leucorrhea, and menstrual pain. So, how to deal with lower abdominal pain and bleeding 5 days after the menstrual period?

What should I do if I have lower abdominal pain and bleeding 5 days after my period ends?

Lower abdominal pain after menstruation may be due to pelvic inflammatory disease: Lower abdominal pain after menstruation may be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. Experts recommend that women go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period is over to diagnose whether it is pelvic inflammatory disease. Once diagnosed, medication should be used in time to protect the body.

Corresponding examinations that women need to do to diagnose pelvic inflammatory disease:

1. Examination of the man's partner: This is helpful for the diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease in women. The male's urethral secretions can be used for direct acid-fast staining or to test for gonococci. If a positive result is found, it is a strong proof, especially in the case of asymptomatic patients or mild symptoms. Or you may find that you have a higher white blood cell count. If all male partners of PID patients are treated, regardless of whether they have symptoms of urethritis, it will obviously be more effective in reducing the incidence of urethritis.

2. Ultrasound examination: mainly B-type or grayscale ultrasound scanners and films. This technology has an 85% accuracy rate in identifying lumps or cysts caused by adhesions of the bilateral fallopian tubes, uterus, ovaries and intestines. However, mild or moderate pelvic inflammatory disease cannot show any characteristics in B-type ultrasound images.

3. Posterior fornix puncture: Posterior fornix puncture is one of the most common and valuable diagnostic methods for gynecological acute abdomen. Through puncture, the abdominal contents or uterine duodenal fossa contents obtained, such as normal abdominal fluid, blood (fresh, old, clotted blood, etc.), purulent secretions or pus, can further confirm the diagnosis. Microscopic examination and modeling of the puncture objects are even more necessary.

4. Immediate acid-fast staining of secretions: The samples can be secretions from the vagina, cervical canal, urethral secretions, or abdominal fluid (obtained through the posterior fornix of the vagina, abdominal cavity, or through laparoscopic surgery), and are subjected to immediate chromatography [NESKY_PAGE] acid-fast staining, and then stained with methylene blue or Gram's blue after drying. If Gram-negative diplococci are seen in the polymorphonuclear leukocyte count, it is a gonorrheal infection. Since the diagnosis rate of endocervical gonococci is only 67%, a negative acid-fast stain does not necessarily mean gonorrhea, while a positive acid-fast stain is very specific. For mycoplasma positive microscopy, fluorescein monoclonal antibody stain can be used. Any star-shaped flashing fluorescent spots observed under an optical microscope are positive.

If female friends find that they have lower abdominal pain after menstruation, they must be vigilant and go to the hospital as soon as possible to check whether it is pelvic inflammatory disease. If so, they need to receive treatment immediately. Because if pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated in time, it will cause many complications and may even affect women's pregnancy. Therefore, for everyone's health, we must pay great attention to it.
