Woman's lower abdomen feels heavy

Women always have discomforts of one kind or another in their lives. A typical example is unexplained lower abdominal pain. When the pain starts, they often think it is caused by menstruation or ovulation. However, this idea is one-sided and it cannot be ruled out that it may also be caused by some gynecological diseases. Therefore, women must pay attention to it. For safety reasons, they should go to the hospital for examination in time.

The main causes of left lower abdominal pain in women are as follows:

1. If you are menstruating, the pain in your lower abdomen is most likely a physiological phenomenon of menstruation. Women should not worry too much at this time. If the pain is severe, it may be dysmenorrhea. In addition, when a woman is in her ovulation period, she may also experience lower abdominal pain. Women don’t need to worry too much at this time, as the pain caused by ovulation generally does not affect health.

2. Chronic inflammation of the genitals: Women suffer from long-term lumbar 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.

3. Dull pain in the left lower abdomen caused by acute inflammation: including acute endometritis, acute salpingo-oophoritis, pelvic peritonitis and acute pelvic cellulitis. It is also seen in sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea. This type of sexually transmitted disease includes gonococcal infection and chlamydia infection, which often recur and can cause fallopian tube pyosalpinx in severe cases.

4. Acute dull pain in the left lower abdomen caused by other reasons: Acute dull pain in the left lower abdomen may occur when uterine perforation occurs during artificial abortion or IUD insertion. 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.

Since pain in the lower left abdomen is also a common symptom among women, we hope that women will be more vigilant. Women should pay attention to the cleanliness of their vulva on a daily basis and clean it at least once a day to prevent infection.
