Why is my lower body swollen and painful?

For many female friends, gynecological diseases are very common and have a high incidence rate, which poses a great threat to everyone's health. Gynecological diseases include inflammation of the uterus and its appendages, vaginal and vulvar lesions, etc. In the early stages of the disease, the symptoms are not very obvious, and some even have no symptoms, which conceals the true condition. Let us now understand what causes the swelling and pain in the lower body.

1. Gynecological inflammation

After menopause, women's ovarian function declines, estrogen levels decrease, vaginal wall atrophy, and increased pH in the vagina make it easy for pathogens to invade and cause gynecological inflammation. In addition, vulvar or vaginal tumors, gynecological surgery or wounds caused by childbirth can also cause vulvar pain and vaginal discomfort.

2. Urinary tract inflammation

Blockage of the upper ureter can cause severe pain in one side of the waist and microscopic hematuria. The pain is mostly colic and radiates along the ureter to the inner thigh or labia of the same side.

3. Excessive oxalate concentration in the body

Some women's bodies metabolize oxalic acid in food poorly, causing it to be deposited during urination. Once it reaches a certain concentration, it irritates the vulva skin and causes genital pain. This condition is more common in women with turbid urine.

4. Pelvic sphincter relaxation

This situation can cause uterine prolapse, causing women to feel a sense of heaviness in their lower abdomen and increased pain during sexual intercourse. Women who conceive too early, marry and have children too early, or have too many children are at greater risk of uterine prolapse. Long-term increased abdominal pressure, such as coughing and dry stools, can also cause uterine prolapse.

5. Anxiety

Anxiety is also one of the factors that affect pain perception. Avoiding sitting for long periods of time, lowering your head, increasing exercise, and maintaining a relaxed mood can significantly reduce pain.

6. Fungal infection

Fungal infection is definitely an important factor inducing "chronic vulvar pain", and the towels and washbasins used to wash the private parts are not separated from the towels and foot basins used to wash the feet, which is an important way to cause fungal infection of the genitals.

7. Perineal eczema

Perineum eczema is a common and frequently-occurring disease in women and can occur at any age. The patient has rice-sized red papules on the vulva, with small blisters on them, which are red, swollen, painful, and extremely itchy. The itching is especially aggravated before going to bed, making it difficult to fall asleep. Scratching can easily cause ulceration and suppuration, and may even lead to worsening and endanger life. In fact, perineal eczema is not difficult to treat. The key is timely treatment and persistent treatment.
