What causes lower abdominal pain in women?

There are many reasons why women experience lower abdominal pain. The most common one is dysmenorrhea caused by irregular menstruation, which often occurs in unmarried women. There are also some lower abdominal pain caused by diseases, such as some acute inflammations, some gynecological diseases, etc. Therefore, women who often experience lower abdominal pain should not be careless. It is best to go to a regular hospital for appropriate examinations and pay enough attention to it.

There are many types of acute lower abdominal pain with various manifestations, but they have one common characteristic, that is, they change greatly and progress rapidly. If delayed, it will bring serious consequences to the patient, so it must be taken seriously.

Acute inflammation causes lower abdominal pain: acute endometritis, acute salpingo-oophoritis, pelvic peritonitis, etc. Among them, acute salpingo-oophoritis is the most common, and in severe cases, abscesses may form. Acute pelvic infection often occurs after delivery and abortion.

Non-inflammatory lower abdominal pain: Common causes include ectopic pregnancy, ovarian tumor pedicle torsion and rupture, etc. Lower abdominal pain caused by ectopic pregnancy is usually severe. If the fallopian tube pregnancy ruptures, the amount of bleeding is large and the rate is fast. The blood quickly spreads to the entire abdominal cavity and causes pain in the whole abdomen, leading to anemia and shock in the patient. When the pedicle of an ovarian tumor twists, it can cause persistent colic. In addition, the contents of an ovarian cyst that ruptures can irritate the peritoneum and cause pain.

Other causes of acute lower abdominal pain: Acute lower abdominal pain may occur when uterine perforation occurs during artificial abortion or IUD. In addition, acute intestinal obstruction, abdominal organ stones, hydrosalpinx, intestinal torsion, dysmenorrhea, and pelvic and abdominal trauma can all cause acute lower abdominal pain.

Acute lower abdominal pain must be well diagnosed, and if it is caused by reproductive diseases, appropriate treatment must be given in a timely manner. If it is caused by dysmenorrhea and other reasons, as a woman, you should do a good job of health care, be careful not to catch a cold, soak your feet in water every day, keep your private parts clean, and massage the lower abdomen and other parts to promote blood circulation.
