Dull abdominal pain after menstruation

Many women have the problem of dysmenorrhea during menstruation. Generally speaking, if the pelvic congestion during menstruation causes an uncomfortable feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, the symptoms will resolve on their own after the menstruation ends. However, for some people, the lower abdomen still aches after the menstruation ends, which is similar to the dysmenorrhea during menstruation, and there is also an uncomfortable feeling of soreness and swelling in the waist. How does medicine explain this situation?

1. Condition Analysis and Guidance

1. Bleeding, distension and pain in the waist and lower abdomen after menstruation are often considered to be acute attacks of cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. It is recommended to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination in time to see if there is pelvic inflammatory infection. Attention should be paid to cleanliness and hygiene. It is recommended to use Fuyanjie to clean the vulva.

2. You can apply a hot water bottle first, avoid getting cold, do not eat irritating, sour, spicy or irritating foods, and get enough rest.

3. The situation described may be adnexitis. Common symptoms of adnexitis include lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar pain. During gynecological examination, there is tenderness, thickening, or a tender mass in the bilateral or unilateral adnexal area, and the white blood cell count is elevated or normal. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up, clarify the condition, and receive timely treatment. If the treatment is not timely, it will turn into chronic adnexitis. 30% of patients will experience infertility, and recurrent attacks will cause great inconvenience to the patient's future life or work. Therefore, adnexitis needs to be treated actively.

4. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the situation described is probably a manifestation of uterine coldness and blood stasis. In this case, you should avoid getting cold before and during menstruation, avoid eating spicy or irritating foods, avoid eating high-calorie foods, and keep your lower abdomen warm. Do not bathe during menstruation. If you are worried, you can go to the hospital for a check-up.
