I haven't had my period yet, and I feel pain in my lower abdomen

Many women experience abnormal abdominal pain when their menstruation comes, and even taking medicine is of no help. However, some women report that they feel a heaviness and pain in their lower abdomen before their menstruation comes, which is like the symptoms of menstruation but they do not have menstruation. This may be caused by internal diseases or endocrine disorders. So, what is the reason for the lower abdominal pain before the menstrual period?

1. Irregular menstruation: Lower abdominal pain caused by irregular menstruation is more common. Some women experience lower abdominal pain, general discomfort and other problems during their menstrual cycle. In severe cases, the pain can be severe, which is called dysmenorrhea. However, if the pain occurs after the menstrual period ends, it is mostly caused by some disease and you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

2. Tumor: It causes abdominal pain, bloating, back pain and a feeling of falling, which usually persist and do not disappear suddenly. In addition, if the tumor twists, ruptures, or bleeds, it will cause sudden abdominal pain and require timely surgical treatment.

3. Acute appendicitis: The pain will start in the upper abdomen and then slowly move to the right lower abdomen. It will also be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, and pain in the right lower abdomen that you are afraid to press. Acute appendicitis needs to be treated promptly, otherwise it is easy to cause more serious abdominal infection.

4. Ovulation period: Women will also experience lower abdominal pain during the ovulation period. Generally speaking, this phenomenon is normal and has no effect on health. However, some women may experience ovarian rupture and intra-abdominal bleeding due to larger holes in the egg cells during ovulation, which may damage small blood vessels. In this case, you need to go to the hospital for medical treatment.

5. Acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease: The typical symptoms of acute pelvic inflammatory disease are lower abdominal pain, fever, and excessive vaginal discharge. If not thoroughly and promptly treated, it can easily lead to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which is characterized by lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar and sacral pain that occur from time to time. If long-term chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is not effectively treated in a timely manner, it may also cause infertility. Some people may experience symptoms of neurasthenia such as lack of energy, general discomfort, and insomnia.
