This type of sexually transmitted disease includes gonococcal infection and chlamydia infection, which often recur and cause pyosalpinx and left lower abdominal pain in severe cases.

2. Ectopic pregnancy, ovarian tumor pedicle torsion and rupture

1. Intra-abdominal bleeding and left lower abdominal pain caused by ectopic pregnancy. The symptoms of left lower abdominal pain vary depending on the amount and speed of bleeding. If the amount of bleeding is small and the bleeding rate is slow, the pain in the left lower abdomen is often limited to one side of the lower abdomen. Blood accumulates in the rectouterine pouch, which can cause anal pain. This situation is often caused by tubal pregnancy miscarriage. If the fallopian tube pregnancy ruptures, the amount of bleeding is large and the speed is fast. The blood quickly spreads to the entire abdominal cavity and causes pain in the entire abdomen. The upward stimulation of the diaphragm can cause shoulder pain. Patients with left lower abdominal pain are often accompanied by anemia and shock.

2. Ovarian tumor pedicle torsion. When the ovarian tumor pedicle twists, left lower abdominal pain suddenly occurs on one side of the lower abdomen, which is persistent colic and is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. In addition, ovarian cysts may rupture, and the contents of the ruptured cysts may irritate the peritoneum and cause left lower abdominal pain.

3. Acute left lower abdominal pain caused by other reasons - Acute left lower abdominal pain may occur when uterine perforation occurs during artificial abortion or IUD insertion. Ovarian endometrial cyst (chocolate cyst) may rupture when it grows larger during menstruation. The cyst contents may irritate the peritoneum and cause severe left lower abdominal pain.

The dull pain in the lower left abdomen during early pregnancy may be caused by other reasons. The above reasons are very common. Female friends can compare them according to their actual situation. Afterwards, go to the hospital for a timely check-up and receive treatment according to the doctor's instructions. Do not take medication on your own.
