50 days after delivery, I have dull pain in my lower abdomen

If you still experience dull abdominal pain 50 days after delivery, you should be alert. It is likely caused by some infection, the most common of which is endometrial infection. In addition, unclean diet and gastrointestinal problems can also cause such a phenomenon. Another possibility is uterine contractions. If the symptoms are more obvious, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Why do I feel dull pain in my lower abdomen 50 days after giving birth?

1. Endometrial infection

One of the reasons why many mothers suffer from abdominal pain is endometrial infection. If it is an endometrial infection, the lochia will have an odor and will cause abnormal pain. In addition, if there is not enough rest, the resistance will be weakened, leading to abdominal pain after delivery.

2. Careless diet

After giving birth, if you don’t pay attention to your diet and continue to eat whatever you want just like before giving birth, it can easily cause abdominal pain. For example, cold food can easily damage the spleen and stomach, affect digestion function, cause blood stasis in the uterus, affect contraction, and may cause symptoms such as postpartum abdominal pain and lochia. In addition, cold water can also cause coldness in the gastrointestinal tract, making the blood circulation unsmooth, and can also lead to abdominal pain and body aches.

3. Breastfeeding promotes uterine contractions

Careful mothers who pay more attention will find that the baby's abdominal pain will be aggravated when sucking milk during feeding. When the nipples are stimulated, it causes the brain to secrete oxytocin, which prompts the uterus to contract.

4. Uterine contraction pain

Right after giving birth, there will be more frequent and regular uterine contractions in the lower abdomen, which will last for about a week and will be accompanied by the discharge of lochia, causing abdominal pain.

Location of abdominal pain after childbirth

The surface location of abdominal pain is often related to the segmental distribution of the spinal cord. Usually the location of the pain is the location of the lesion, but some lesions cause pain that radiates to a fixed area. For example, acute cholecystitis can radiate to the right scapula and back, and the pain caused by appendicitis can be transferred from the umbilicus to the right lower abdomen.

Why do I have a dull pain in my lower abdomen 50 days after giving birth? There are actually many answers to this question. Because the reasons will be different in different situations, everyone can only truly determine the cause of the disease by finding their own reasons. And you don't need to worry too much. Generally, dull pains are just minor problems and they will be fine as long as you correct them.
