Women's physical health is a very important basic factor. For women, only with good health can they complete various tasks in life and face numerous challenges. Women often have physical problems, which have a great impact on their lives. Among them, what is the cause of pain in the left lower abdomen of women? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope you can understand it.

1. Ectopic pregnancy is a common gynecological acute abdomen, 95% of which is fallopian tube pregnancy. Lower abdominal pain is the main symptom. The severity of the abdominal pain varies. Severe cases may be accompanied by hemorrhagic shock. If not promptly treated, it may lead to death.

2. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease is a general term for inflammation of women's internal reproductive organs, including acute endometritis and myometritis, acute salpingitis, salpingo-oophoritis, acute pelvic peritonitis, pelvic abscess, etc. Abdominal pain is one of its main symptoms.

3. Ovarian tumor pedicle torsion is a common gynecological acute abdomen. It is more common in ovarian tumors with long pedicles, medium-sized tumors, and high mobility, such as mature teratomas. Can be seen at any age. But it is more common during the reproductive period.

5. Rupture of ovarian endometriosis cyst

It is acute lower abdominal pain caused by increased pressure in the ovarian endometriosis cyst, which causes the cyst wall to rupture and the cyst contents to flow into the abdominal cavity, irritating the peritoneum. It often occurs during menstruation or before and after menstruation.

6. Rupture of follicular cyst or corpus luteum cyst. Bleeding may occur when the mature follicle or corpus luteum ruptures. When the bleeding is heavy, acute abdominal pain or even shock may occur. Rupture of corpus luteum cyst is the most common, often occurring before menstruation (luteal phase) or on the 1st to 2nd day of menstruation. A few cases are follicular ruptures, which usually occur in the middle of the menstrual cycle (ovulation period).

8. Ovarian tumor rupture: Malignant tumors may rupture due to tumor cells infiltrating the ovarian capsule. After rupture, the tumor contents flow into the pelvic cavity, causing acute lower abdominal pain. A small number of benign ovarian cysts may rupture due to squeezing or sexual intercourse.

9. Uterine fibroids Fibroids generally do not cause abdominal pain. However, acute and severe lower abdominal pain may occur when uterine fibroids degenerate redly or pedunculated subserosal fibroids twist.
