What causes pain in the lower left side of a woman's abdomen?

It is not uncommon for women to have lower abdominal pain in our lives, especially pain in the left lower abdomen. However, if the symptoms of pain are not obvious, they are often ignored by some people. In fact, women must pay attention when they have pain in the left side of their lower abdomen, because this is an abnormal phenomenon. Because the female reproductive organs grow under the left side of the lower abdomen, the pain may be related to reproductive organ diseases. Now let's take a look with the editor!

1. Dysmenorrhea

Menstrual pain is a common physiological phenomenon among women. When menstruation comes, there will be varying degrees of lower abdominal pain, sometimes even accompanied by symptoms such as bloating, chills, diarrhea, and back pain.

When women experience this kind of physiological menstrual pain, it is recommended that they go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for examination first. If the possibility of gynecological diseases is ruled out, there is no need to worry. You can apply hot compresses or take painkillers to relieve the pain.

2: Ovarian cyst torsion

Ovarian cysts are caused by the acidification of body tissue fluids. Body cells are placed in acidic body fluids, which results in a decrease in the amount of dissolved oxygen in normal body cells. This causes a decrease in cell activity and a slowdown in metabolic cycles. When the amount drops to 65% of the normal value, normal cells cannot survive. However, there are also cells that actively mutate by changing their chromosomes. The cell phenotype changes, and tumor traits are expressed. These cells proliferate rapidly, thus forming a true tumor entity.

3: Corpus luteum cyst rupture

In the early stage of corpus luteum cyst formation, corpus luteum cells still exist and are rich in lipids. Only the inner layer of the cyst wall is fibrotic, and luteinized granulosa cells and theca cells can be seen, with or without blood in the cyst. In the later stage, the cyst wall is fibrotic with varying degrees of hyaline changes. Because the cyst continues to secrete progesterone, the menstrual cycle is often delayed. If the cyst ruptures, abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding may occur, which is very similar to the rupture of an ectopic pregnancy.

After reading all the above content, I believe you no longer think that the pain on the left side of the lower abdomen is abnormal and accidental, right? Although pain on the left side of the lower abdomen will occur to everyone, for women, especially adult married women, it is important to pay attention to the occurrence of pain. If you have time, it is best to go to the hospital for an examination and seek timely treatment if there is any problem.
