Breast tenderness and lower abdominal pain

Breast tenderness and lower abdominal pain are both gynecological diseases. Many women experience breast tenderness before and after menstruation, mainly because many women suffer from mild lobular hyperplasia. There are many reasons for lower abdominal pain. The lower abdomen contains important female reproductive organs, the uterus and ovaries. If you have lower abdominal pain, it may be caused by gynecological inflammation or reproductive organ disease. Therefore, you must identify the nature of the pain. If you feel uncomfortable, you should seek medical treatment in time.

Abdominal pain caused by physiological deformities: Common ones include hymen occlusion, vaginal diaphragm, etc. Symptoms include abdominal pain due to menstruation and obstruction of menstrual blood discharge during adolescence. The pain is closely related to menstruation and occurs cyclically, requiring surgical correction. Abdominal pain caused by tumors: Abdominal pain, bloating, back pain and a feeling of falling caused by tumors are generally persistent. If the tumor twists, ruptures, or bleeds, sudden abdominal pain often occurs. This is the "self-exposure" of the tumor and usually requires immediate surgical treatment.

Abdominal pain caused by certain gynecological diseases: For example, endometriosis often forms lumps near the ovaries, uterus, and rectum, which can aggravate abdominal pain before and during menstruation. Pain during sexual intercourse is also one of its characteristics. For example, pelvic bleeding or blood stasis can lead to pelvic pain, which often manifests itself in the base of one thigh.

Pain caused by menstruation: Lower abdominal pain and general discomfort experienced by women during menstruation are mostly physiological phenomena. If the pain is severe, it is dysmenorrhea. Most cases of dysmenorrhea during adolescence are primary dysmenorrhea, which can heal itself; however, dysmenorrhea that occurs after menstruation is mostly caused by certain diseases, so you should seek medical attention early and do not use painkillers to solve the problem.

Abdominal pain caused by ovulation: A feeling of distension and pain in the lower abdomen occurs during the ovulation period, which is caused by the rupture of the follicle. Generally speaking, this pain does not affect health and has no adverse consequences. However, in a very small number of people, due to large rupture of the ovarian follicle during ovulation, damage to small blood vessels causes ovarian rupture and intra-abdominal bleeding, resulting in gynecological emergencies and requiring hospital treatment.

Pain caused by gynecological inflammation: It is more common in adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, and often occurs in women of childbearing age. The pain is on one or both sides, and is accompanied by increased vaginal discharge. Chronic cases often present with dull pain, back pain or a feeling of heaviness; acute cases often present with abdominal pain that is resistant to pressure and is accompanied by fever.
