Why do women have pain in the lower left side of their abdomen during menstruation?

Why do women have pain in the lower left side of their abdomen during menstruation? Many female friends easily experience abdominal pain during menstruation. Many people call this condition dysmenorrhea, but dysmenorrhea is pain in the entire lower abdomen of women. If you only feel pain in the lower left side of your abdomen, it is very likely not related to dysmenorrhea, but may be caused by some disease. The reasons why women have pain in the lower left side of their abdomen during menstruation are as follows:

Women experience pain on the left side of their lower abdomen during their monthly menstrual period, and also experience mild pain before their periods.

Endometriosis - cells in the uterus grow outside the uterus where they don't belong, such as on the outside of the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or bladder. At the end of the period, these cells also bleed lightly, causing inflammation and damage to the areas they extend to. Our bodies automatically create scar tissue to surround these cells and stop this destructive effect. The production of scar tissue can cause lower abdominal pain and reduce our fertility. At first, the patient feels the abdominal fullness that is common before menstruation, followed by lower abdominal pain similar to that before menstruation, but not at the time of premenstrual pain.

If you feel that your lower abdomen is soft and thin, please go to the hospital to check whether you have endometriosis and then have an intrauterine or ultrasound examination of your lower abdomen. If endometriosis is mild, it can be cured by taking medicine. If the situation is more serious or the patient is preparing to have a child, an endoscopic surgery (i.e. laparotomy) may be required. The doctor will use an endoscope with a laser to remove scar tissue and endometrial hyperplasia. The sooner the treatment is received, the faster the recovery will be.

To sum up, I don’t know if you have a clear idea about why women have pain in the lower left abdomen during menstruation. Here I would like to remind all female friends that dysmenorrhea can actually be effectively treated. For example, you can drink some uterus-warming Chinese medicine before your period. This can reduce the occurrence of dysmenorrhea during menstruation and may even completely cure dysmenorrhea. You can consult a Chinese medicine doctor about what specific medicine to take.
