What causes stomach pain during early pregnancy?

Generally speaking, abdominal pain in early pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. This is because the uterus is gradually growing and will press on other organs, leading to some symptoms, such as acid reflux, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. Of course, if abdominal pain persists, it is best to go to the hospital for examination to check whether there is an ectopic pregnancy. In daily life, you should emphasize health care and develop a scientific lifestyle.

Women often report symptoms such as sourness, warmth, and upper abdominal pressure, which are the result of stomach pressure caused by the enlarged uterus. In addition, gastrointestinal motility weakens during pregnancy, the stomach muscle tension is low, especially the gastric sphincter is relaxed, causing the gastric contents to flow back into the lower esophagus, irritating the esophageal mucosa and producing a burning sensation in the stomach area.

It is also possible that due to the enlargement of the uterus and pelvic congestion, the ligaments beside the uterus are affected by the enlarged uterus, causing a feeling of soreness and dull pain in the lower abdomen, especially near the roots of the thighs on both sides, which is near the groin. Abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy is generally not serious and does not affect the normal development of the pregnancy. If there is a history of cervicitis and chronic appendicitis, the irritation of the pelvic congestion symptoms on the inflamed area will also cause such discomfort.

Check whether it is an ectopic pregnancy: If you have abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy and there is bleeding before the fetus is located, and if the pregnancy lasts more than seven weeks and the embryonic sac in the uterus cannot be seen through B-ultrasound, it may be an ectopic pregnancy. Further examination and confirmation are needed to avoid heavy bleeding and life-threatening consequences caused by ectopic pregnancy.

Treatment of miscarriage: Abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy accompanied by abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain and other symptoms may be signs of miscarriage. The cause of miscarriage in early pregnancy may be chromosomal or genetic abnormalities in the embryo itself; it may also be that the pregnant mother suffers from autoimmune diseases such as diabetes, or takes certain medications, smokes, drinks, etc.
