What is the reason why women sometimes have pain on the right side of their lower abdomen?

For women, lower abdominal pain is a common occurrence, so many women don’t pay much attention to it. However, if you often experience pain on the right side of your lower abdomen, you cannot ignore it easily, because there are many reasons that can cause pain on the right side of women. If you don’t get correct and effective treatment, it is very likely that the condition will become serious. Here I will explain to you the symptoms and treatment of pain on the right side of your lower abdomen during exercise.

1. Caused by menstruation

Lower abdominal pain and general discomfort that women experience during menstruation are mostly physiological phenomena. If the pain is severe, it is dysmenorrhea. Most cases of dysmenorrhea during adolescence are primary dysmenorrhea, which can heal itself; however, dysmenorrhea that occurs after menstruation is mostly caused by certain diseases, so you should seek medical attention early and do not use painkillers to solve the problem. This is a very common cause of lower abdominal pain.

2. Inflammation causes

It is more common in adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, and often occurs in women of childbearing age. The pain is on one or both sides, accompanied by increased vaginal discharge. Chronic cases often present with dull pain, back pain or a feeling of heaviness; acute cases often present with abdominal pain that is resistant to pressure and is accompanied by fever.

3. Caused by certain gynecological diseases

For example, endometriosis often forms lumps near the ovaries, uterus, and rectum, which can aggravate abdominal pain before and during menstruation. Pain during sexual intercourse is also one of its characteristics. For example, pelvic bleeding or blood stasis can lead to pelvic pain, which often manifests itself in the base of one thigh.

4. Ovulation caused

During the ovulation period, there is a feeling of distension and pain in the lower abdomen, which is caused by the rupture of the follicle. Generally speaking, this pain does not affect health and has no adverse consequences. However, in a very small number of people, due to large rupture of the ovarian follicle during ovulation, damage to small blood vessels causes ovarian rupture and intra-abdominal bleeding, resulting in gynecological emergencies and requiring hospital treatment.

After reading the above introduction to the reasons why women suffer from lower abdominal pain on the right side, I believe everyone has a certain understanding and knowledge. Especially female friends should be especially careful if the pain on the right side occurs again. For young and middle-aged women, the amount of exercise should be reduced 2-5 days after menstruation, because excessive exercise may also cause lower abdominal pain on the right side. If the condition is serious, go to the hospital for diagnosis or treatment immediately.
