Causes of abdominal pain in girls

We all know that there are great differences in the body structures of men and women, especially women have a menstrual cycle every month. If you do not pay attention to the maintenance of your body in life, it is easy to develop some gynecological diseases, especially lower abdominal pain is the most common phenomenon, but it is generally caused by gynecological diseases. We can only get better treatment after we understand the reasons. Let’s understand the reasons for lower abdominal pain in girls.

Causes of abdominal pain in girls

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.

Lower abdominal pain and general discomfort that women experience during menstruation are mostly physiological phenomena. If the pain is severe, it is dysmenorrhea. Most cases of dysmenorrhea during adolescence are primary dysmenorrhea, which can heal itself; however, dysmenorrhea that occurs after menstruation is mostly caused by certain diseases, so you should seek medical attention early and do not use painkillers to solve the problem.

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 its characteristics. For example, pelvic bleeding or blood stasis can lead to pelvic pain, which often manifests itself in the base of one thigh.

During the ovulation period, there is a feeling of distension and pain in the lower abdomen, which is caused by the rupture of the follicle. Generally speaking, this pain does not affect health and has no adverse consequences. However, in a very small number of people, due to large rupture of the ovarian follicle during ovulation, damage to small blood vessels causes ovarian rupture and intra-abdominal bleeding, resulting in gynecological emergencies and requiring hospital treatment.

Common ones include hymen occlusion and vaginal septum. Symptoms include abdominal pain due to menstruation and obstruction of menstrual blood discharge during adolescence. The pain is closely related to menstruation and occurs cyclically, requiring surgical correction.

The abdominal pain, bloating, back pain and feeling of falling caused by tumors are generally persistent. If the tumor twists, ruptures, or bleeds, sudden abdominal pain often occurs. This is the "self-exposure" of the tumor and usually requires immediate surgical treatment.

For women who are overdue for menstruation or known to be pregnant, sudden contraction-like pain in the lower abdomen or vaginal bleeding is often a sign of miscarriage. Lower abdominal pain caused by ectopic pregnancy is usually severe. Due to intra-abdominal bleeding, the patient will feel anal prolapse, frequent urge to defecate, pale face, dizziness and weakness, and may even go into shock, and immediate surgery is required.

The pain starts in the upper abdomen and gradually moves to the right lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, and fear of pressing the right lower abdomen. This disease should be treated in hospital emergency room as soon as possible.

The above is an introduction to the reasons why girls have lower abdominal pain. After understanding it, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time when such a disease occurs. In addition, you must pay attention to ensuring good personal hygiene. Don't always eat cold food, eat more hot food, and pay attention to keeping your body warm.
