Why do women have stomach pain?

Female friends often suffer from lower abdominal pain due to various reasons. This is not only something that men cannot understand, but even women’s relatives and friends cannot imagine the sudden pain they feel. Moreover, abdominal pain in women is particularly common, which has a great impact on their lives and work. So, what are the causes of abdominal pain in women? Let’s take a look.

1. Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary pain is often seen in adolescent girls. It is related to the level of prostaglandins in the body, cold, emotional and psychological factors, but there is no organic disease. It can generally heal itself with age or after marriage and childbirth. Common causes of secondary pain are endometriosis and adenomyosis.

2. Ovulation abdominal pain

When adolescent girls ovulate, the follicle ruptures and the follicular fluid may have a certain stimulating effect on the peritoneum, so they sometimes experience mild abdominal pain that alternates between the left and right sides once a month. This is physiological, and the symptoms are mostly unilateral lower abdominal pain, dull pain or heaviness-like pain. Some girls also have a small amount of vaginal bleeding, that is, ovulation bleeding, which usually disappears on its own after one or two days, and generally does not exceed seven days. This type of abdominal pain usually does not cause any pathological changes, and the gynecological examination is completely normal. It is physiological abdominal pain and generally does not require treatment.

3. Ovarian cyst pedicle torsion or rupture

This is because the cyst has a long pedicle, a large volume, no adhesions to the surrounding area, and is highly mobile, and twists when affected by intestinal peristalsis or changes in body position. When the pedicle of an ovarian tumor is twisted, pain suddenly occurs on one side of the lower abdomen, which is persistent colic, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting; there may be obvious tenderness and muscle tension in the abdomen; digital rectal examination may reveal swollen and tender appendages.

The above-mentioned situations are all phenomena that cause abdominal pain. Now everyone understands that women with abdominal pain must actively check and treat them. If a woman has stomach pain, she must go to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the best time for treatment. Women can drink some boiled water to relieve the pain.
