Why does my uterus hurt?

A woman's body needs special care, especially as she ages and her physical fitness declines. However, women not only have to take care of housework and work hard, but also have to face various kinds of pain. For example, breast pain can occur in women of all ages. In addition, some female friends may feel some pain in the uterus. What is this?

There are four main reasons for uterine pain:

1. Uterine 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 the characteristics of uterine pain.

2. Uterine 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.

3. Uterine 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 uterine pain during adolescence is primary dysmenorrhea, which can heal itself; while dysmenorrhea that occurs after menstruation is mostly caused by some disease, so you should seek medical attention early and do not use painkillers to solve the problem.

4. Uterine pain caused by uterine cancer: The cancer compresses the nerves in the pelvic cavity, causing pain in the lower abdomen, lower back or thighs.

The above introduces the causes of uterine pain. Finally, let’s learn how to relieve uterine pain.

1. Hot compress:

You can place a hot pack on your abdomen to warm it and maintain a comfortable temperature. The time depends on your personal needs.

2. Pay attention to your diet:

Drink more water, eat less dairy products, and limit the intake of meat; supplement B vitamins: B vitamins can help the liver metabolize more efficiently to eliminate excess estrogen; eat more fish: a diet rich in fish oil is very helpful in relieving endometriosis pain. Fish oil is believed to stimulate the body to secrete good prostaglandins, which will not cause pain.

3. You can use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of over-the-counter natural luteinizing hormone milk:

Massage onto soft areas of the body three times a day. You can also apply and massage on your cheeks, neck, inner thighs, inner arms, and chest. Natural progesterone helps to offset the effects of excess estrogen in the body. That is, 1-2 weeks before your period. You can start applying lotion before ovulation and continue until the end of your menstrual cycle.

4. Stay Physically Active:

Exercise can help treat endometriosis, but there is evidence that women who exercise regularly are less likely to develop endometriosis. Try floor stretches, cycling, or other activities that don't put too much stress on your body.
