Female left lower abdomen bloating and frequent farting

Women are very likely to suffer from gynecological diseases. Almost every woman will have gynecological problems, it's just a matter of severity. Since many gynecological diseases have similar symptoms, they are sometimes confused or treated with similar methods. This can easily lead to delaying the best time to treat the disease. The most common phenomenon of left lower abdominal distension and frequent flatulence is pelvic inflammation. Female friends must understand it clearly before they can treat it symptomatically to avoid causing more symptoms.

Is it a serious disease for women to have bloating and frequent farting in the left lower abdomen?

If a woman has a distended left lower abdomen and always has flatulence, she should first consider whether she has pelvic inflammation, especially if the inflammation in the left adnexal area is more obvious. The pelvis is in a state of congestion and inflammatory exudate. It can also cause congestion, edema, gas accumulation and dilation of the intestine. This will cause a feeling of heaviness in the left lower abdomen and increased flatulence. Therefore, in this case, it is best to have a gynecological examination to determine the specific problem and then carry out targeted treatment.

What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease?

1. Symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease:

The main manifestations are menstrual disorders, such as menorrhagia, oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea; due to pelvic inflammation and adhesions, there may be varying degrees of increased leucorrhea, pain in the waist and abdomen, pain in the lower abdomen and other symptoms. If chronic adnexitis has formed, a lump may be felt; if not treated for a long time, it can easily cause female infertility. Most of the systemic symptoms are not obvious, and sometimes there may be fever, night sweats, fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, etc. Sometimes there is only fever during menstruation and fatigue. The course of the disease is long, and some patients may have symptoms of neurasthenia.

2. Symptoms of acute pelvic inflammatory disease:

The main symptoms are fever, lower abdominal pain that is resistant to pressure, and excessive and purulent vaginal discharge. May be accompanied by fatigue, low back pain, and menstrual disorders. Severe cases may include high fever, chills, headache, and loss of appetite. If there is peritonitis, digestive system symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension will appear. If an abscess is formed, bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain may occur if it is located in the front; rectal irritation symptoms such as tenesmus, anal distension, diarrhea, and difficulty defecation may occur if it is located in the back.

Causes of pelvic inflammatory disease:

1. Frequent and uncontrolled sexual activity. Pelvic inflammatory disease is most likely caused by frequent sexual intercourse. If sexual intercourse is too frequent, the organs will be excited for a long time, which will cause continuous congestion in the pelvis. Long-term this can induce chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Often wear tight pants. Because tight underwear causes vaginal secretions to accumulate and cannot be dissipated in a humid and stuffy environment, it irritates the vulva and causes vulvitis. Retrograde infection can induce pelvic inflammatory disease, urethral infection, etc.

3. Sitting for a long time. Many women often sit in the office to work, sometimes for most of the day. This will cause obstruction of pelvic venous return in women and excessive blood stasis, which can lead to pelvic inflammation.

4. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation. Women must pay attention to personal hygiene during menstruation, because during menstruation, the endometrium is exfoliated, causing the blood sinuses to expand, creating a good environment for the growth of bacteria. If you do not pay attention to hygiene, pathogens will invade the vagina, causing pelvic inflammatory disease.
