17 weeks pregnant lower abdomen pain

At different stages of pregnancy, pregnant women will have different physical reactions. Some of these reactions are normal, while others are abnormal and require timely medical attention. Pregnant mothers must pay enough attention to the problem of lower abdominal pain in 17 months of pregnancy, because it may be caused by the enlargement of the embryo, or it may be a precursor to threatened abortion. Therefore, as long as abdominal pain symptoms occur, go to the hospital for consultation and treatment in time.

1. What causes lower abdominal pain during pregnancy?

Pregnant women experience stomach pain because the uterus gradually becomes larger during embryonic development. At this time, pregnant women will feel discomfort and stomach pain, but this pain is often mild, so pregnant women do not need to worry too much. However, if the abdominal pain comes in waves, or is continuous pain in the lower abdomen, like the pain before or during menstruation, and is accompanied by vaginal bleeding, it may be threatened abortion and you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

In addition to uterine development and threatened abortion, a variety of reasons may cause acute abdominal pain during pregnancy. For example, intestinal cramps caused by eating spoiled or overcold food can make pregnant women feel stomach pain; acute gastritis, gastroenteritis, acute pancreatitis, and uterine fibroid degeneration and other diseases can also make pregnant women feel stomach pain. Therefore, if it is acute abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital in time for symptomatic treatment to avoid worsening of the condition or miscarriage.
