Lower abdomen pain at the end of menstruation

Some women’s menstrual period ends in three days, while others can last up to seven days, but as long as it is regular, it is normal, and it varies from person to person. I believe that the feeling of menstruation is different for each woman. Some women will experience abdominal pain and bloating during menstruation, while some women will feel lower abdominal pain at the end of menstruation. These are all things that need attention. Be alert to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. It is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive gynecological examination.

When women experience lower abdominal pain, it is mostly due to gynecological diseases, but it can also be caused by internal medicine or surgical diseases. Therefore, once women experience lower abdominal pain, they should carefully identify the nature of the pain in order to receive timely treatment.

1. 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.

2. 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 cases of dysmenorrhea during adolescence are primary dysmenorrhea, which can heal itself; however, dysmenorrhea that occurs after menstruation is mostly caused by certain diseases, so you should seek medical attention early and do not use painkillers to solve the problem.

3. Abdominal 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 its characteristics. For example, pelvic bleeding or blood stasis can lead to pelvic pain, which often manifests itself in the base of one thigh.

4. Abdominal pain caused by ovulation: During the ovulation period, there is a feeling of distension and pain in the lower abdomen, which is caused by the rupture of the follicle. Generally speaking, this pain does not affect health and has no adverse consequences. However, in a very small number of people, due to large rupture of the ovarian follicle during ovulation, damage to small blood vessels causes ovarian rupture and intra-abdominal bleeding, resulting in gynecological emergencies and requiring hospital treatment.

5. Abdominal pain caused by physiological deformities: Common ones include hymen occlusion, vaginal diaphragm, etc. Symptoms include abdominal pain caused by menstruation and obstruction of menstrual blood discharge during adolescence. The pain is closely related to menstruation and occurs cyclically, requiring surgical correction.

6. Abdominal pain caused by tumors: Abdominal pain, bloating, back pain and a feeling of falling caused by tumors are generally persistent. If torsion, rupture, or bleeding occurs, sudden abdominal pain often occurs. This is the "self-exposure" of the tumor and usually requires immediate surgical treatment
