Why does a woman feel a stinging pain in her lower abdomen like a needle?

If a woman experiences stabbing pain in her lower abdomen, a feeling a bit like being pricked by needles, she should pay attention to it, as it may be caused by inflammation, the most common of which is vaginitis. She should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and take necessary treatment measures. In daily life, she should keep the vulva clean, prevent infection, pay attention to diet, and avoid further impact on health due to inflammation.

What details of life can induce vaginitis

First, many women are prone to vaginitis during pregnancy. This is because women's resistance decreases during pregnancy, and the sex hormones in their bodies are very high, which will increase the glycogen content in the epithelial tissue and vagina, increase the acidity in the vagina, and facilitate the formation of an environment for fungal growth. Therefore, fungi are prone to vaginitis.

Second, some women are used to using sanitary pads for a long time, which can easily cause poor ventilation of the vulva due to infection. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends only use sanitary pads for a short period of time when menstruation is about to end or is about to arrive.

Third, when using water, some women put their fingers or towels into the vagina, which can easily bring bacteria into the vagina and cause or aggravate infection. Therefore, similar situations should be avoided as much as possible.

Fourth, sitting for a long time causes poor ventilation of women’s genitals and obstruction of blood circulation, making them more susceptible to infection. Therefore, female friends are reminded to change their sedentary habits. In addition, women who sit for long periods of time are more susceptible to pelvic inflammatory disease.

How to prevent recurrence of vaginitis

1. Don’t be promiscuous

Vaginitis can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. If you have a promiscuous sexual life and many sexual partners, you are likely to be infected with vaginitis. To prevent the recurrence of vaginitis, women should avoid promiscuous sex and it is better to maintain a fixed sexual partner.

2. Healthy diet

The female vagina has the ability to self-clean and can resist the invasion of vaginitis. Therefore, women should pay attention to a healthy diet and ensure a normal immune system to prevent the recurrence of vaginitis.

3. Clean appropriately

The vagina itself has a certain acidity and alkalinity. If the vulva and vagina are excessively flushed with disinfectants or washes, it can easily lead to an imbalance of vaginal acidity and alkalinity, giving bacteria an opportunity to multiply. Therefore, female friends can just wash with clean water on a daily basis to avoid the recurrence of vaginitis.

4. Keep the vulva clean

One of the reasons why women suffer from vaginitis is that they do not pay attention to personal hygiene. Therefore, after curing vaginitis, women must develop good hygiene habits and keep the vulva clean to avoid recurrence of vaginitis.

5. Exercise actively

Exercising more often can strengthen your physical fitness, improve your body's immunity, and increase your body's resistance to bacteria, which can naturally prevent the recurrence of vaginitis.

6. Don’t abuse antibiotics

Antibiotics not only kill pathogens, but also inhibit the reproduction of beneficial bacteria in the vagina, allowing fungi to grow. Therefore, if female friends want to prevent the recurrence of vaginitis, they should not abuse antibiotics.
