Why does the left side of my lower abdomen hurt during menstruation?

Every woman has her own menstrual cycle, but because of the double pressure from society and family, many women will experience irregular menstruation, which will manifest as dysmenorrhea, heavy or light menstruation, early or late menstruation, etc. Many women experience pain on the left side of their lower abdomen during menstruation, but what are the causes of this lower abdominal pain?

Menstrual pain is a common physiological phenomenon among women. When menstruation comes, there will be varying degrees of lower abdominal pain, sometimes even accompanied by symptoms such as bloating, chills, diarrhea, and back pain.

When women experience this kind of physiological menstrual pain, it is recommended that they go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for examination first. If the possibility of gynecological diseases is ruled out, there is no need to worry. You can apply hot compresses or take painkillers to relieve the pain.

When women experience lower abdominal pain, excluding reasons such as cyclical menstrual pain and gastrointestinal dysfunction, they must consider whether it is a gynecological problem, such as: endometriosis, ovarian cyst rupture, ovarian or ovarian cyst torsion, pelvic inflammation, uterine fibroids, ovarian tumors, ectopic pregnancy, abdominal or pelvic adhesions... etc. In order to avoid missing the golden period of treatment, if women have unexplained lower abdominal pain, they should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Abdominal pain is one of the common clinical symptoms, but because abdominal pain is mostly sporadic, patients often take it lightly.

In fact, there are quite a lot of abdominal organs that may cause abdominal pain, including digestive organs, urinary organs, reproductive organs, etc. Sometimes abdominal pain may even be one of the symptoms of other serious diseases (such as myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, etc.).

To sum up, some of the causes of lower abdominal pain in women are described. Because the causes are diverse, when you experience lower abdominal pain, you need to find out the cause before treating it. In addition to treatment, you can also improve your diet and habits. To regulate your body, you can drink more brown sugar water, avoid eating raw or cold food, etc.
