What causes menstrual pain in the lower abdomen?

Women have menstruation every month, and most women experience various symptoms before and after their menstruation. Many women do not know why they experience lower abdominal distension and pain during menstruation. This is very normal. It is not ruled out that this lower abdominal distension and pain is dysmenorrhea, which can be relieved by drinking more hot water.

1. Consider dysmenorrhea, which is caused by excessive contraction of uterine muscles. Some dysmenorrhea is caused by gynecological diseases, but most women with dysmenorrhea are not found to have any diseases after examination, which is "primary dysmenorrhea". Primary dysmenorrhea will not affect pregnancy. If the examination finds that dysmenorrhea is related to gynecological diseases, it should be treated in time. If it is primary dysmenorrhea, there is no need to worry too much. You can relieve the pain by using analgesics, antispasmodics, placing a hot water bag in the lower abdomen, etc.

2. Determine whether it is swelling or pain. If it is swelling, it is normal. Many women will feel swelling and sourness during menstruation. But if it is pain, you have to consider dysmenorrhea. There are many reasons for dysmenorrhea, which are generally of two types, primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Depending on the specific situation, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination.

3. The phenomenon of severe lower abdominal pain during menstruation that disappears naturally after menstruation is called dysmenorrhea. Most dysmenorrhea occurs during menstruation, and for some people it occurs a few days before menstruation. The abdominal pain worsens after menstruation, but everything is normal after menstruation. The characteristics of abdominal pain are closely related to menstruation. Abdominal pain will not occur if menstruation does not come. Therefore, abdominal pain that is not related to menstruation is not dysmenorrhea.

4. In this case, it is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination, and then carry out targeted treatment after the diagnosis is confirmed. Do physical exercise regularly to strengthen your physical fitness. In addition, be sure to avoid having sex and taking a bath during menstruation, avoid contact with cold water and washing feet with cold water, and avoid eating spicy and cold food. You can try brown sugar water, which is warm in nature. It has a warming effect, can dredge the tendons and veins, and help eliminate menstruation.
