Sometimes some women complain about lower abdominal pain. Sometimes they don’t know why the pain occurs. Many people may not pay attention to the pain and don’t spend a lot of energy to care about this problem. In fact, what I want to say is that lower abdominal pain in women is a problem that needs attention. Now I will introduce to you what this lower abdominal pain in women is.

If a woman experiences stabbing pain in the lower abdomen, it is mostly a gynecological disease, but it can also be an internal medicine or surgical disease. Therefore, once women experience lower abdominal pain, they should carefully identify the nature of the pain in order to receive timely treatment.

Lower abdominal pain and general discomfort that women experience 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. This is a very common cause of lower abdominal pain.

The pain in the right upper abdomen is paroxysmal and colic, radiating to the right shoulder, which is mostly caused by cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. The pain starts in the upper abdomen and moves to the right lower abdomen after a few hours, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. It is mostly acute appendicitis. Severe abdominal pain in the left middle part of the upper abdomen, accompanied by vomiting, persistent pain, paroxysmal aggravation, and radiating to the side of the waist should be considered as acute pancreatitis. If you suddenly experience lower abdominal pain and bleeding after about 6 weeks of amenorrhea, you should consider ectopic pregnancy.

When women of childbearing age experience abdominal pain, gynecological acute abdomen must be considered. Paroxysmal colic in the flank or lower abdomen, radiating to the lower back, and perineum, accompanied by frequent urination and hematuria, is a ureteral stone. Abdominal pain accompanied by diarrhea should be considered as infectious diseases such as enteritis, dysentery, and cholera. Persistent abdominal pain accompanied by vomiting may be due to intestinal obstruction.

Dull pain in the lower abdomen is a common symptom of endometritis, which is mainly caused by bacteria that ascend along the female reproductive organs and cervix or descend along the fallopian tubes and reach the endometrium through the lymphatic system. Generally speaking, the female reproductive system has a certain defensive function and can effectively prevent the invasion of various gynecological inflammations. However, during menstruation, childbirth, and after miscarriage, women's resistance is weak, and bacteria can easily invade, causing endometritis, leading to symptoms of lower abdominal pain in women.

I have briefly introduced the common causes of lower abdominal pain in women in the above article. In many cases, ladies should take the phenomenon of lower abdominal pain in women seriously, pay attention to their bodies, and develop good living habits. They should also pay attention to their diet and avoid eating too cold food. They should also keep warm and not be too concerned about style and temperature.
