What's wrong with my bloated belly

I believe that women should be familiar with the feeling of lower abdominal bloating and pain, because most of the time women will have lower abdominal bloating and pain before or during menstruation. However, in addition to the lower abdominal bloating and pain caused by dysmenorrhea, if a woman finds that she often suffers from lower abdominal bloating and pain, she should consider other causes. From a clinical medical point of view, there are several main causes of lower abdominal bloating and pain.

The causes of lower abdominal distension include:

1. Non-inflammatory lower abdominal distension is commonly caused by ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cyst pedicle torsion and rupture: intra-abdominal bleeding caused by ectopic pregnancy. The pain symptoms vary with the amount and speed of bleeding; ovarian cyst pedicle torsion. When the pedicle of an ovarian cyst twists, pain suddenly occurs on one side of the lower abdomen, which is persistent colic, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. In addition, ovarian cysts may rupture, and the contents of the ruptured cysts may irritate the peritoneum and cause pain.

2. Tumor pain When gynecological malignancies progress to the late stage, unbearable and intractable pain may occur. Lower abdominal pain is often accompanied by lumbar pain, and the pain often radiates to the lower limbs.

3. Chronic lower abdominal distension has many causes and is often accompanied by lumbar pain and increased leucorrhea. It is common in chronic inflammation of the reproductive organs, endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic congestion and psychological pelvic pain.

4. Women with chronic genital inflammation may experience long-term lumbar pain and lower abdominal pain, which worsens after sex and during the menstrual cycle. It is often accompanied by increased leucorrhea, which is mostly caused by chronic cervicitis. If you experience long-term lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar pain that worsens after fatigue, sex, or before and after the menstrual cycle, and are often accompanied by menstrual cycle disorders and fatigue, it is mostly caused by chronic pelvic inflammation.

5. Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary pain often occurs in adolescent girls for unclear reasons. It can usually heal itself as you grow older or after getting married and having children. Secondary pain is often caused by endometriosis and adenomyosis.

6. Acute lower abdominal distension caused by other reasons. Acute lower abdominal pain may occur when uterine perforation occurs during artificial abortion or IUD. Ovarian endometrial cysts (chocolate cysts) can rupture as they grow larger during the menstrual cycle. The cyst contents can irritate the peritoneum and cause severe abdominal pain.

Lower abdominal pain

Dull or dull pain is often caused by chronic inflammation or fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity. The pain may be caused by blood or pus in the uterine cavity that cannot be discharged. Paroxysmal colic can be caused by contractions of intrauterine organs such as the uterus or fallopian tubes. Sharp, tearing pain may be caused by a ruptured ovarian tumor. Intractable pain may be caused by advanced cancer invading the nerves.

Lower abdominal pain time

Dull pain in one side of the lower abdomen during the menstrual cycle is mostly caused by ovulation. Lower abdominal pain and distension before, during, or after menstruation may be due to primary dysmenorrhea or endometriosis. Regular lower abdominal pain without menstruation is mostly caused by menstrual blood discharge, which can be seen in congenital reproductive tract malformations or postoperative adhesions of the uterine cavity and cervical canal.
