Abdominal pain is a common phenomenon that can be caused by various reasons, especially for female friends who consider gynecological issues. Therefore, when abdominal pain occurs, we must pay sufficient attention.
The causes of female abdominal pain
1. Ovulation induced abdominal pain: About two weeks before the onset of menstruation, ovulation occurs. At this point, the follicle ruptures and the follicular fluid stimulates the peritoneum, resulting in mild abdominal pain that alternates between left and right, occurring once a month in women. It is often manifested as dull pain, dull pain, or swelling like pain on one side. The shortest is a few hours, and the longest is no more than 2 days. This pain is a physiological issue and does not need to be addressed.
2. Dysmenorrhea: Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary and secondary types. The former is common in unmarried girls and is related to the level of prostaglandins in the body, which is relieved after marriage and childbirth. Postmarital dysmenorrhea is becoming increasingly severe, and attention should be paid to gynecological diseases. The most common type of endometriosis is secondary dysmenorrhea. The pain gradually worsens, with dull pain in the lower abdomen during non menstrual periods and worsening before and after menstruation. This pain requires treatment.
3. Ovarian cyst: Sudden stabbing pain on the right side of the body, similar to being stabbed by a nail, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, fever, and a high likelihood of torsion or perforation of the ovarian cyst stem. At this point, there is obvious tenderness and muscle tension in the abdomen, and immediate medical treatment is needed.
4. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease: The lower abdominal pain caused by chronic pelvic inflammatory disease generally worsens after fatigue, sexual activity, and before and after menstruation. Some people feel tired and insomnia, and require examination and treatment.
5. Contraceptive ring incarceration: After the age of 40, a woman's cervix and uterine body atrophy, but the size of the contraceptive ring remains the same, stuck in the uterus, resulting in ectopic pregnancy, accompanied by low back pain, abdominal pain, lower abdominal fall, irregular bleeding, etc. This is called intrauterine device insertion, and the longer the amenorrhea period, the higher the probability of intrauterine device insertion and the greater the difficulty in removing it. If a woman determines amenorrhea, it is recommended to immediately remove the contraceptive ring.
6. Ovarian corpus luteum rupture: This is because there is a lot of bleeding inside the corpus luteum, accompanied by sudden onset of abdominal and unilateral abdominal pain, and in severe cases, shock can occur. Ovarian corpus luteum rupture mostly occurs on the 20th to 26th day of the menstrual cycle, with lower abdominal pain at the onset. Before the rupture of the corpus luteum of the ovary, there is a process of ovarian congestion and swelling. The ovaries are affected by external or indirect forces, especially during pre menstrual congestion, which is induced by fecal force, trauma, and intense activity. Immediately seek medical attention after the onset of the disease, and do not abuse painkillers on your own.
