Why does the uterus hurt?

The uterus is an important component of the female reproductive system. At the same time, the uterus also plays a leading role in the female reproductive system, so every woman should pay close attention to the pathological changes of the uterus. In addition to pain symptoms in the uterus itself, many women also experience pain below the uterus. Pain under the uterus may also be related to reproductive system diseases. Today, let’s take a look at the causes of pain under the uterus.

1. Uterine 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 the characteristics of uterine pain.

2. Uterine 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, 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.

3. Uterine 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 uterine pain during adolescence is primary dysmenorrhea, which can heal itself; while dysmenorrhea that occurs after menstruation is mostly caused by some disease, so you should seek medical attention early and do not use painkillers to solve the problem.

4. Uterine pain caused by uterine cancer: The cancer compresses the nerves in the pelvic cavity, causing pain in the lower abdomen, lower back or thighs.

Nowadays, more and more women suffer from gynecological diseases, so women should pay attention to their physical health and seek medical attention in time if they find any abnormality in their body.
