I have pain in the left lower abdomen during menstruation. What causes this?

Women are prone to abdominal pain during menstruation. This pain often occurs on the left side. The reasons behind it are complicated. It may be due to emotional instability caused by menstruation, or cervical stenosis.

1. Cervical stenosis

If a woman's menstrual outflow is obstructed, it can easily cause dysmenorrhea. In addition, if a woman's uterus is not well developed, it can easily cause abnormal blood supply, resulting in uterine hypoxia and ischemia, which can cause dysmenorrhea. The position of a woman's uterus is originally extremely forward curved or backward curved, which will have an adverse effect on the smooth flow of female semen and blood, thus causing pain in the lower left abdomen.

2. Mental factors

For some female friends, because they are very sensitive to pain, this is also the reason why they experience pain in the lower left abdomen during menstruation. From a genetic perspective, if a daughter suffers from dysmenorrhea, the mother will also suffer from dysmenorrhea. Therefore, from the perspective of female endocrine factors, abdominal pain and pain in the lower left abdomen during menstruation are closely related to female progesterone.

3. Other reasons

In addition, there may be other reasons causing acute left lower abdominal pain. For example, if the uterus is perforated during an artificial abortion or when an IUD is inserted, women may experience dull pain in the lower left abdomen. If a female friend suffers from chocolate cyst, it is because the cyst enlarges and ruptures during menstruation, causing the contents of the cyst to irritate the peritoneum and cause pain in the lower left abdomen.

For female friends, if you experience pain in the lower left abdomen during menstruation, you must go to the hospital for examination in time, so that you can know the specific cause and find the best treatment method.
