Can gynecological inflammation cause abdominal pain?

Gynecological inflammation is relatively common and seriously threatens women's health. When gynecological inflammation occurs, it often causes abdominal pain in women. For example, pelvic inflammatory disease can easily cause abdominal pain and lead to a feeling of heaviness. In addition, if a woman experiences dysmenorrhea during menstruation, it often causes lower abdominal pain. There are also some physiological reasons, such as ovulation pain.

Can gynecological inflammation cause abdominal pain?

1. Dysmenorrhea

Women experience lower abdominal pain and general discomfort during menstruation, which are mostly physiological. However, if the pain is severe, it is dysmenorrhea. If it occurs in adolescent girls, it is mostly primary dysmenorrhea, which can heal itself. There is also a type of secondary dysmenorrhea, which is mainly caused by a certain disease and cannot be relieved by taking painkillers. This type of dysmenorrhea requires timely medical treatment.

2. Gynecological inflammation

There are many gynecological inflammations that can also cause lower abdominal pain, such as common adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, which can cause pain on one side or both sides of the abdomen, accompanied by increased vaginal discharge. If it is a chronic inflammation, it will manifest as dull pain in the lower abdomen, back pain or a feeling of heaviness; in acute cases, the pain is more obvious, the abdominal pain is resistant to pressure, and is often accompanied by fever.

3. Ovulation abdominal pain

When adolescent women ovulate, the follicle ruptures and the follicular fluid has a stimulating effect, which can cause a certain degree of stimulation to the peritoneum, thus causing mild lower abdominal pain. This is physiological and manifests as unilateral lower abdominal pain, dull pain or distending pain, and may also be accompanied by a small amount of vaginal bleeding. This type of abdominal pain is usually without any pathological changes and the examination is normal. It is physiological abdominal pain and does not require treatment.

4. Ovarian Corpus Luteum Rupture

Due to excessive bleeding in the corpus luteum, it may cause rupture, and abdominal pain in the lower abdomen or one side may suddenly occur. In severe cases, it may cause shock. Generally, ovarian corpus luteum rupture occurs on the 20th to 26th day of the menstrual cycle, and when it occurs, it may cause lower abdominal pain, which may vary in severity. In this case, you should seek medical attention promptly and avoid abusing painkillers on your own, as this may mask symptoms and affect diagnosis.

5. Ectopic pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy, which means that the embryo implants behind the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. In addition to lower abdominal pain, there may also be symptoms such as amenorrhea and irregular vaginal bleeding.

6. Endometriosis

This condition can also cause lower abdominal pain, which is especially severe during menstruation and sometimes accompanied by pain during sexual intercourse.

Many gynecological diseases can cause lower abdominal pain in women. The above are some common gynecological phenomena that can cause lower abdominal pain. When women experience lower abdominal pain, they should pay attention to exclude the possibility of the above gynecological factors. If it is physiological pain, it can be ignored, but if it is caused by some gynecological disease factors, it is necessary to check and diagnose in time so as to timely symptomatic treatment and avoid causing greater harm.
