Causes of lower abdominal pain in girls

In today's daily life, many women have to face various pressures from family and work, and sometimes they fail to take care of themselves in time. Often under such circumstances, many women will have many health problems. A dull pain in the right lower abdomen of women is a common phenomenon. When this happens, women must pay attention and go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

1. Pain caused by inflammation:

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 refuses to be pressed, accompanied by fever.

2. Pain caused by menstrual cycle:

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.

3. Abdominal pain caused by certain gynecological diseases:

For example, endometriosis often forms lumps on the ovaries, uterus, and rectum, which can aggravate abdominal pain before and during menstruation. Pain 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. Abdominal pain caused by ovulation:

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, small blood vessels are damaged, causing ovarian rupture and intra-abdominal bleeding, forming a gynecological emergency that requires medical treatment.

5. Abdominal pain caused by physiological deformity:

Common ones include hymen occlusion and vaginal septum. Symptoms include abdominal pain during the menstrual cycle and obstruction of menstrual blood discharge during adolescence. The pain is closely related to the menstrual cycle and occurs cyclically, requiring surgical correction.

6. Abdominal pain caused by tumor:

The abdominal pain, bloating, back pain and feeling of falling caused by tumors are generally persistent. If the tumor twists, ruptures, or bleeds, sudden abdominal pain often occurs. This is the "self-exposure" of the tumor and usually requires immediate surgical treatment.

7. Abdominal pain caused by pregnancy:

If a woman whose menstrual cycle is overdue or who is known to be pregnant suddenly experiences contraction-like pain in the middle of the lower abdomen or vaginal bleeding, it is often a sign of miscarriage. Lower abdominal pain caused by ectopic pregnancy is usually severe and hot. Due to intra-abdominal bleeding, the patient will feel anal prolapse, frequent urge to defecate, pale face, dizziness and weakness, and may even go into shock, requiring immediate surgery.

8. Abdominal pain caused by acute appendicitis:

The pain starts in the upper abdomen and gradually moves to the right lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, and fear of pressing the right lower abdomen. This disease should be treated in an emergency department as soon as possible.
