What causes a woman's abdominal distension?

Many women experience lower abdominal pain, so they will pay attention to the causes of lower abdominal pain. In fact, there are many reasons for lower abdominal pain in women. Ectopic pregnancy, dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. can all cause lower abdominal pain, which seriously threatens women's physical and mental health.

Cause of lower abdominal pain: Acute pelvic inflammatory disease

Symptoms: lower abdominal pain, fever, increased female secretions, chills, high fever, headache, and poor appetite.

Evaluation indicators: specific manifestations include lower abdominal pain. If a cyst occurs, there may be a lower abdominal mass and local compression irritation symptoms, such as bladder irritation and duodenal irritation, which are persistent.

Lower abdominal pain reason 2: menstrual pain

Symptoms: lower abdominal pain, tension, anxiety, depression, fear, and unstable mentality.

Evaluation indicators: whether there is vomiting, fainting, whether you can continue to work, and whether you need to stay in bed. When the lower abdominal pain is severe, the patient will turn pale, sweat, have cold hands and feet, feel nauseous, vomit, and even faint and become physically exhausted. Therefore, long-term menstrual pain cannot be ignored. Especially for women of childbearing age, slight menstrual pain may also affect fertility and cause infertility.

Lower abdominal pain reason three: ectopic pregnancy

Presentation: tearing pain on one side of the lower abdomen accompanied by nausea, vomiting, urinary urge, and a feeling of falling;

Evaluation indicators: Sudden lower abdominal pain, also a history of amenorrhea and irregular vaginal bleeding for 6-8 weeks. Ectopic pregnancy refers to pregnancy outside the uterus, especially fallopian tube pregnancy which accounts for more than 95%. Ectopic pregnancy is one of the most common acute abdominal diseases in obstetrics and gynecology, which causes great pain to marriage and childbearing. If it is not diagnosed and treated actively in time, it can seriously endanger life.

The main reason is that chronic salpingitis can cause adhesion or narrowing of part of the tubal lumen; bilateral fallopian tubes are incompletely developed or function abnormally; contraceptive measures fail due to sinking or position change of the contraceptive ring; and there are tumors around the bilateral fallopian tubes that are compressed. Ectopic pregnancy can be prevented. The most important thing for lower abdominal pain is to pay attention to hygiene (sexual hygiene) and reduce gynecological inflammation. If you have fallopian tube inflammation, you must get complete treatment. Those who have placed an IUD should undergo regular maintenance; if they have a history of amenorrhea and dull pain in the lower abdomen, they should not take hemostatic drugs indiscriminately and should seek medical attention in time.
