My lower body is a little swollen, what's going on?

Although women are not unfamiliar with the feeling of lower body pain, if the pain occurs during menstruation or ovulation, it should alert the patient. Because there are many important reproductive organs inside the female lower body, if these reproductive organs become pathological, the most direct symptom is lower abdominal distension and pain. In summary, there are several main reasons that cause a woman's lower body pain.

1. Intra-abdominal bleeding caused by ectopic pregnancy. The pain symptoms vary depending on the amount and speed of bleeding.

2. Ovarian tumor pedicle torsion. When the pedicle of an ovarian tumor twists, pain suddenly occurs on one side of the lower abdomen and is persistent colic, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. In addition, ovarian cysts may rupture, and the contents of the ruptured cysts may irritate the peritoneum and cause pain.

3. Tumor pain When gynecological malignancies develop to the late stage, unbearable and persistent pain may occur. Lower abdominal pain is often accompanied by lumbar pain, and the pain often radiates to the lower limbs.

4. Chronic lower abdominal distension has many causes and is often accompanied by lumbar pain and increased leucorrhea. It is common in chronic inflammation of the reproductive organs, endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic congestion and psychological pelvic pain.

Women suffer from long-term lumbar and sacral pain and lower abdominal pain, which worsens after sex and during menstruation. It is often accompanied by increased leucorrhea, which is mostly caused by chronic cervicitis. If you experience long-term lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar pain that worsens after fatigue, sex, or before and after menstruation, and are often accompanied by menstrual disorders and fatigue, it is mostly caused by chronic pelvic inflammation.

5. Dysmenorrhea

There are two types of dysmenorrhea: primary and secondary. Primary pain often occurs in adolescent girls for unclear reasons. It usually heals itself as you age or after getting married and having children. Common causes of secondary pain are endometriosis and adenomyosis.

6. Acute lower abdominal distension caused by other reasons

Acute lower abdominal pain may occur when uterine perforation occurs during artificial abortion or IUD. Ovarian endometrial cysts (chocolate cysts) may grow larger and rupture during menstruation, and the cyst contents may irritate the peritoneum and cause severe abdominal pain.
