Feeling of uterine pain

Uterine distension and pain needs to be divided into several situations to determine its cause. First of all, during menstruation and ovulation, due to the flow of menstrual blood, the uterus will contract, so women will feel uterine distension and pain. During non-menstrual and ovulation periods, women who have sexual life may be caused by gynecological diseases, while women who do not have sexual life may be caused by inflammation and tumors.

There are four main reasons for uterine pain:

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 a characteristic 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 that women experience 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.

Lower abdominal pain may be caused by catching a cold in the abdomen or the possibility of an upcoming menstrual period. It is recommended not to eat cold food and keep the abdomen warm. You can apply hot compresses to the abdomen. If the pain does not get better, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to understand the situation.
