What causes pain when pressing on the right side of a woman's lower abdomen?

Generally speaking, adult women have gynecological diseases, and most gynecological diseases will show symptoms of abdominal pain. In my life, I often hear some ladies say that they have pain in the right side of their lower abdomen, especially when they press it with their hands. What exactly causes this phenomenon? I believe that many people who suffer from illness want to know the answer. So now let’s take a look at what factors cause it.

In most cases, right lower abdominal pain is a symptom of appendicitis, but it is not just appendicitis that is causing the problem. There are other diseases that can also cause right lower abdominal pain.

The pain of appendicitis is not necessarily located in the right lower abdomen, and misdiagnosis is common. Based on CT, we now briefly summarize the causes of pain in the right lower abdomen of women:

Female right lower abdominal pain

● Pelvic inflammatory disease: This is a common gynecological inflammation in clinical practice. The reason for the combined symptoms is that when hydrosalpinx occurs on the right side, it can be confused with a dilated appendix.

Confusion, the inflammation around the fallopian tube and ovarian abscess, if near the appendix, can cause edema of the appendix serosa and thickening of the tube wall. CT shows that the inflammation is located near the appendix rather than the appendix.

●Acute appendicitis: CT scans show an enlarged appendix with a diameter greater than 6 cm, thickened walls, and fat cords around it. Sometimes appendicitis or terminal ileum and cecum are seen.

The size of the appendix can remain normal in patients with this condition.

●Colomb's disease: right lower abdominal pain accompanied by fever and elevated white blood cell count, very similar to appendicitis. CT showed thickening of the intestinal wall, narrowing of the lumen, and mesenteric fat cords. In severe cases, the intestinal segment was invaded and formed near the

There were abscesses, thickening of a long segment of the terminal ileum, and symmetrical annular thickening of the cecum; the center of inflammation was not located in the appendix.

After reading the above description by the editor, you should be able to find that the pain when a woman presses on the lower right abdomen may not only be caused by gynecological diseases, but may also be appendicitis and other clinical diseases. If the symptoms appear for a long time, you'd better pay attention to it and go to the hospital for a full body examination in time to avoid worsening of the disease without knowing it.
