What disease causes lower abdominal distension and pain?

Female friends often encounter lower abdominal pain in daily life, and generally think it is a gastrointestinal problem. However, the editor believes that lower abdominal pain is different from gastrointestinal pain. The main reason for lower abdominal pain is gynecological diseases or endocrine problems in the body. Let the editor conduct a detailed analysis for everyone to determine the cause of lower abdominal pain.

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. In addition, it is often accompanied by infertility and menstrual disorders, which often require drug treatment.

2. Ovulation abdominal pain

For some women, when ovulation occurs, 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 women 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.

3. Ovarian corpus luteum rupture

This is caused by excessive bleeding in the corpus luteum, accompanied by sudden onset of abdominal pain in the lower abdomen or one side, and in severe cases, shock may occur. Most cases of ovarian corpus luteum rupture occur between the 20th and 26th days of the menstrual cycle, and lower abdominal pain may occur at the onset, with varying degrees of severity. Before the corpus luteum of the ovary ruptures, the ovary will experience congestion and swelling. This process can be triggered when the ovary is affected by external or indirect external forces, especially when it is congested before menstruation, such as due to straining during bowel movements, trauma, sexual intercourse, or strenuous activity.

The above three reasons are the culprits for lower abdominal pain in women, but everyone does not need to worry too much, because these can be cured through treatment, and will not affect the life-threatening situation, and most of them can heal themselves. The editor suggests that you can pay more attention to your own body changes in daily life, and pay attention to whether there are abnormal leucorrhea and other conditions.
