Why does my lower abdomen hurt when I walk?

Pain in the lower abdomen when walking can be simply attributed to abdominal pain, because there are no other symptoms to refer to. There are many organs in the abdomen, all of which may have problems and cause pain. However, we can understand some common causes of abdominal pain and make a comprehensive judgment based on our other conditions so that we can find out where the problem lies. So, what should I do if my lower abdomen hurts when I walk? Let’s take a look below.

It can be judged based on the urgency of the onset. Slow onset and rapid worsening are mostly caused by internal genital inflammation or malignant tumors. Sudden onset of pain should be considered as ovarian cyst rupture and torsion. If the pain occurs suddenly after repeated dull pain, ectopic pregnancy rupture or miscarriage may be considered.

It can be judged based on the location of the pain. If it is pain in the middle of the lower abdomen, it may be caused by uterine disease. If it is pain on one side of the lower abdomen, you can consider adnexal diseases such as adnexitis, cyst torsion, and ectopic pregnancy. Pain on the right side of the lower abdomen may also be appendicitis. Bilateral lower abdominal pain is common in pelvic inflammatory disease. If the cyst ruptures or the rupture of an ectopic pregnancy can cause pain in the entire lower abdomen or the entire abdomen.

It can also be judged based on the nature of the pain. If it is inflammation or fluid accumulation in the abdomen, it can cause persistent dull pain. The pain caused by cancer is mostly stubborn pain. The pain caused by uterine contraction is mostly paroxysmal colic. If it is an ectopic pregnancy rupture, it can cause tearing pain. If there is a heavy pain in the lower abdomen, it may be due to blood or fluid accumulation in the abdomen.

It can also be judged based on the timing of the pain. If the pain occurs during menstruation, it may be dysmenorrhea or endometriosis. If a dull pain occurs in the middle of menstruation, it may be considered ovulation pain. If the lower abdominal pain is not related to menstruation, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic venous congestion, etc. may be considered.

It can also be judged based on the symptoms associated with the pain. If there is amenorrhea, it is mostly a symptom of pregnancy. If it is accompanied by nausea and vomiting, cyst torsion can be considered. If there is a fever, it may be pelvic inflammation. If there is shock, intra-abdominal bleeding may be considered.

If the pain has radiating symptoms, if it radiates to the shoulder, it may be intra-abdominal bleeding. If it radiates to the lumbosacral region, it may be a lesion of the cervix or uterus. If it radiates to the thigh and groin, it may be an adnexal disease.
