Types of pain

Women with pain on the left side of their lower abdomen need to recognize the type of pain:

Bloating and pain: This is generally related to gas. There is a lot of air in the stomach or intestines, which makes you feel bloated. Most of the time, this is caused by functional gastrointestinal disorders.

Colic: Most of the time it is spasm, as if something inside is being twisted and it hurts. Many stones, intestinal blockages, and acute enteritis can cause colic. If you feel like a needle is pricking you somewhere and it causes stinging pain, it is mostly a problem with peptic ulcer. Sometimes the stomach feels like it is on fire and burning. This is usually caused by excessive stomach acid, and is mostly a sign of peptic ulcer or a precursor.

3. Why does the left side of the lower abdomen hurt after menstruation?

Pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region occurs before, during, or after menstruation. In severe cases, the abdominal pain is severe, the complexion is pale, the hands and feet are cold, and there is even fainting. This is called "dysmenorrhea" or "menstrual abdominal pain." The pain often lasts for several hours or 1-2 days. Generally, the abdominal pain will be relieved after the menstrual blood flows smoothly. This disease is more common in young women and is one of the common diseases among women. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by poor circulation of qi and blood or deficiency of qi and blood. Common clinical symptoms include qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold stagnation in the uterus, qi and blood deficiency, damp heat and other symptoms. Dysmenorrhea patients should eat a light and easy-to-digest diet 3-5 days before menstruation. They should eat food that is easy to digest and absorb, and should not eat too much. In particular, they should avoid eating raw and cold foods, because raw and cold foods can stimulate the contraction of the uterus and fallopian tubes, thereby inducing or aggravating dysmenorrhea. Once menstruation has come, all raw, cold, indigestible and irritating foods should be avoided, such as chili peppers, raw onions, raw garlic, pepper, strong liquor, etc.
