Pain when pressing on the lower left side of the female navel

Women are very prone to abdominal pain, which is usually related to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. There are many reasons for pain under a woman's belly button, but one symptom alone cannot determine the exact cause. We need to have a full understanding of the possible symptoms and conduct a comprehensive analysis based on our own conditions so that we can figure out what is going on.

1. Ovulation abdominal pain

Adolescent women may experience mild abdominal pain during ovulation, but it is physiological and is usually manifested as dull pain, dull pain, or heaviness in the lower abdomen on one side. The pain usually only lasts one to two days and will subside without any need for treatment.

2. Menstrual pain

It is the most common abdominal pain and is divided into primary and secondary types. The cause of primary dysmenorrhea is related to the body's prostaglandin level, cold, and psychological disorders, and can usually be cured after marriage; while the common causes of secondary dysmenorrhea are endometriosis and adenomyosis. The main symptoms are gradually increasing pain, which often occurs regularly, or dull pain in the lower abdomen during non-menstrual periods that worsens before and after menstruation. In addition, it is often accompanied by infertility and menstrual disorders, which usually require medication.

3. Ovarian Corpus Luteum Rupture

It is caused by the rupture of multiple progesterone capillaries, accompanied by sudden onset of lower abdominal or unilateral abdominal pain, and in severe cases, shock may occur. This type of abdominal pain usually occurs about 20 days during the menstrual cycle, with lower abdominal pain that can vary in severity.

4. Ovarian cyst pedicle twisted or split

This is because the pedicle of the cyst is long, the volume is large, there is no adhesion to the surrounding area, and it is very active, so it will twist when affected by gastrointestinal function or posture changes. When the pedicle of the uterine and ovarian tumor is twisted, pain suddenly occurs on one side of the lower abdomen, which is continuous severe pain, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting; there will be obvious tenderness and muscle tension in the abdomen; digital rectal examination can reveal swollen and dull pain in the appendages.

5. Pregnancy-related illnesses

Abdominal pain caused by pregnancy-related diseases can be seen in threatened abortion, ectopic pregnancy, etc. Taking ectopic pregnancy as an example, dull pain or swelling in the adnexal area of ​​the affected limb may occur. The pain symptoms vary depending on the amount and rate of bleeding.

6. Acute appendicitis

Acute appendicitis is a surgical disease, but it needs to be distinguished from gynecological diseases. About 70% to 80% of patients initially feel pain in the upper abdomen or around the navel, which migrates to the right lower abdomen after a few hours. The abdominal pain of simple appendicitis is localized in the right lower abdomen and may be continuous or paroxysmal. This disease generally requires surgical removal for treatment.

7. Psychogenic abdominal pain

If there is a girl with school phobia, she will be worried about studying and taking exams. If the patient is forced to go to school, she will develop depression and depressive physical discomfort, such as pale face, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, unbearable abdominal pain, nausea, headache, dizziness, etc. Some patients seek medical treatment for severe abdominal pain many times, but the results of various tests are normal. Once the patient is temporarily suspended from school, the depression and discomfort symptoms will be quickly alleviated, and the abdominal pain will disappear immediately.
