Causes of left lower abdominal pain in early pregnancy

Early pregnancy refers to the period before 13 weeks of pregnancy, and there are many causes of pain in the lower left abdomen during early pregnancy. However, pain in the lower left abdomen during early pregnancy is also quite common. It can be divided into two situations: one is normal and the other is ectopic pregnancy. There is no need to worry too much about the former, but for the latter, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to ensure the safety of yourself and the fetus to avoid accidents.

Early pregnancy refers to pregnancy before the 13th week of pregnancy. The embryo undergoes dramatic changes in development at this time. About half of women experience symptoms such as chills, dizziness, drooling, fatigue, drowsiness, lack of appetite, aversion to greasy food, nausea, and vomiting in the morning about 6 weeks after menstruation. These symptoms are called early pregnancy reactions. This early pregnancy reaction disappears on its own in about 12 weeks.

There are many reasons for abdominal pain in early pregnancy. Some of them are normal physiological phenomena. Generally, physiological abdominal pain is not very serious and the onset time is very short. It is mainly because the uterus becomes larger after pregnancy and the uterine ligaments are involved. It generally does not affect daily life. Abdominal pain is not fixed. If there is no organic disease after examination, then there is no need for treatment at all. Abdominal pain in early pregnancy is common in: 1. Threatened abortion: Patients with threatened abortion may have abdominal pain, and sometimes spotting. 2. Patients with ectopic pregnancy generally have abdominal pain, but most of them have abdominal pain on one side, and there will also be irregular vaginal bleeding. 3. Patients with organic diseases, ovarian cysts, and uterine fibroids must seek medical attention as soon as possible if the symptoms are more severe and last for a long time, and are accompanied by bleeding.

The causes of pain in the lower left abdomen during early pregnancy are described above. This is often the case, but it varies from person to person. Generally, you don't need to worry too much about it. Just get regular check-ups and everything will be fine. As for the method of relieving pain, it is to pay attention to rest, drink more water, avoid spicy food, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid excessive fatigue. This is of course just a preventive method. When the pain really becomes unbearable, it is better to seek medical attention.
