What causes lower abdominal pain after menstruation?

Female compatriots are often deeply affected by gynecological problems, which greatly reduces their quality of life. Common ones are abnormal vaginal discharge, dysmenorrhea, itching and redness of the lower body, etc. There will even be fluctuations and abnormal phenomena before and after the menstrual period. What is the reason for the lower abdominal pain after the menstruation ends? What are the causes? Let us understand the relevant factors for this phenomenon.

When women experience lower abdominal pain, it is mostly due to gynecological diseases, but it can also be caused by internal medicine or surgical diseases. Therefore, once women experience lower abdominal pain, they should carefully identify the nature of the pain in order to receive timely treatment.

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, and is 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.

3. Abdominal pain caused by certain gynecological diseases: For example, endometriosis often forms lumps near the ovaries, uterus, and rectum, which can aggravate abdominal pain before and during menstruation. Pain during sexual intercourse is also one of its characteristics. For example, pelvic bleeding or blood stasis can lead to pelvic pain, which often manifests itself in the base of one thigh.

4. Abdominal pain caused by ovulation: During the ovulation period, there is a feeling of distension and pain in the lower abdomen, which is caused by the rupture of the follicle. Generally speaking, this pain does not affect health and has no adverse consequences. However, in a very small number of people, due to large rupture of the ovarian follicle during ovulation, damage to small blood vessels causes ovarian rupture and intra-abdominal bleeding, resulting in gynecological emergencies and requiring hospital treatment.

5. Abdominal pain caused by physiological deformities: Common ones include hymen occlusion, vaginal diaphragm, etc. Symptoms include abdominal pain caused by menstruation and obstruction of menstrual blood discharge during adolescence. The pain is closely related to menstruation and occurs cyclically, requiring surgical correction.

6. Abdominal pain caused by tumors: Abdominal pain, bloating, back pain and feeling of falling caused by tumors generally persist. If the tumor twists, ruptures, or bleeds, sudden abdominal pain often occurs. This is the "self-exposure" of the tumor and usually requires immediate surgical treatment.

Now we have introduced to you the causes of lower abdominal pain after the end of menstruation. No matter what the cause is, it should not be ignored. In addition, female friends need to pay attention that they must not have sex during menstruation. Even if they wear condoms, it will cause inflammation and infection and even abdominal pain and other discomfort. I hope female friends will pay more attention to their physical health.
