Why does a woman have pain in the right side of her abdomen?

Women sometimes experience pain in the right side of their lower abdomen. What is the general reason for this? Many women have experienced abdominal pain, but there are many reasons. Some reasons are simple to identify and easy to treat, such as indigestion and so on. Another reason is gynecological diseases. There are many common diseases: endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic congestion and so on. The pain caused by these diseases cannot be cured by simply enduring it or taking painkillers, so it is recommended that you go to the hospital as soon as possible when pain occurs to confirm whether you have a gynecological disease.

There are many causes of right lower abdominal pain. The following are two causes of right lower abdominal pain:

1. Pain caused by 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, 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.

2. 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.

When you find yourself having stomach pain, in addition to going to the hospital for examination and treatment, you should also pay more attention to your daily life to avoid worsening of the condition. For example, patients with pelvic inflammatory disease can exercise more, which can increase the body's immunity. They also need to pay attention to their diet, drink more water, rest more, and avoid overwork.
