Lower abdominal distension and pain

The lower abdomen is located in the belly. This includes the human uterus and ovaries, which are key parts of the female body that control female health. The pain in the lower abdomen may indicate an abnormality in the uterus. First, rule out pregnancy and the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. In addition, developmental abnormalities of the uterus, such as endometriosis, and other organ abnormalities can lead to poor metabolism and may cause pain. Let’s find out.

Endometriosis: Cells in the uterus grow outside the uterus where they don't belong, such as on the outside of the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or bladder. At the end of the period, these cells also bleed lightly, causing inflammation and damage to the areas they extend to. Our bodies automatically create scar tissue to surround these cells and stop this destructive effect. The production of scar tissue can cause lower abdominal pain and reduce our fertility. At first, the patient feels the usual premenstrual abdominal distension, followed by a similar feeling of lower abdominal pain as before menstruation, but not before menstruation.

Interstitial cystitis: Your urinary tract is inflamed, causing your bladder to swell. Doctors generally believe that women with this disease may have lesions in the bladder wall, which stimulates the central nervous system in the brain to produce a urination response. Pain near the pubic bone, which worsens when trying to urinate; frequent urination (at least once an hour during the day and multiple times at night), and sharp pain during intercourse.

Ovarian cyst: An ovarian cyst is a lump or mass filled with fluid inside the uterus. Less than 5% of people with ovarian cysts will develop cancer. All ovarian cysts are functional cysts, which means that the developing eggs may be surrounded by cystic fluid, causing ovarian enlargement and lower abdominal pain. Ovarian cysts can grow over time to the point where they become painful when you exercise or stand up after sitting still. At this time, the condition was already quite serious. Because the accumulated fluid in the cyst causes the ovary to sag due to gravity, you will feel a bloating and pain in your lower abdomen when you exercise. Gynecologists can understand the condition by palpating the lower abdomen and determine whether there is an ovarian cyst. If an ultrasound examination reveals an ovarian cyst and it appears to be cancerous or is too large, your doctor will recommend surgery to remove it.
