Why does my lower abdomen hurt on the right side during menstruation?

Many women experience pain on the right side of their lower abdomen during their menstrual period, but they don’t know what causes it and think it is normal pain. However, some pains are not normal, so we need to analyze the reasons. The causes of this problem vary depending on the physical condition of the female friend, so we can analyze specific treatment measures based on each person's situation. In order to ensure our health and avoid the occurrence of other gynecological diseases, we must understand why the right side of the lower abdomen hurts during menstruation?

Causes of dysmenorrhea Severe lower abdominal pain occurs during menstruation and disappears naturally after menstruation, which is called dysmenorrhea. Most dysmenorrhea occurs during menstruation, and for some people it occurs a few days before menstruation. The abdominal pain worsens after menstruation, but everything is normal after menstruation. The characteristics of abdominal pain are closely related to menstruation. Abdominal pain will not occur if menstruation does not come. Therefore, abdominal pain that is not related to menstruation is not dysmenorrhea.

Dysmenorrhea can be divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain that occurs from the beginning of menstruation, while secondary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain during menstruation that occurs several years or even more than ten years after menstruation. The causes of the two types of dysmenorrhea are different. The causes of primary dysmenorrhea are a narrow uterine opening, uterine hypoplasia, or large pieces of endometrium in the menstrual blood. The latter condition is called membranous dysmenorrhea. Sometimes menstrual blood contains blood clots, which can also cause lower abdominal pain.

The causes of secondary dysmenorrhea are mostly caused by diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic congestion, etc. In recent years, it has been discovered that increased synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium can also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the cause of dysmenorrhea through examination and then treat it accordingly. Dietary adjustment for dysmenorrhea: Women experience pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral area before, during, or after menstruation. In severe cases, the pain is severe, the face becomes pale, the hands and feet become cold, and there may even be fainting. This is called "dysmenorrhea" or "abdominal pain during menstruation." The pain often lasts for several hours or 1-2 days. Generally, the abdominal pain will be relieved after the menstrual blood flows smoothly.

This disease is more common in young women and is one of the common diseases among women. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by poor circulation of Qi and blood or Qi and blood deficiency. Common clinical symptoms include qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold stagnation in the uterus, qi and blood deficiency, and dampness and heat. Diet therapy can play a better preventive and therapeutic role

To sum up, I believe that female friends already understand the reasons for the pain on the right side of the lower abdomen during menstruation, so we must pay attention to it, otherwise it will cause other gynecological diseases. Once other gynecological diseases occur, the consequences will be unimaginable and will definitely seriously endanger the health of female friends. Then it will have a certain impact on our lives, so female friends must pay attention to it.
