What causes abdominal pain during menstruation?

During menstruation, women will experience some discomfort, such as dysmenorrhea and general fatigue, but some women will also experience abdominal distension and pain. The causes of this condition are different from other symptoms, so the relief methods are also different. Women who are menstruating must pay attention to their diet, avoid strenuous work, and pay more attention to rest. So what is the reason for abdominal distension and pain during menstruation?

First, what causes abdominal distension and pain during menstruation? During menstruation, if you have symptoms of abdominal distension and pain, it may be caused by irregular menstruation. Abdominal distension and pain is a very common symptom of irregular menstruation. Some women with irregular menstruation will have lower abdominal pain and general discomfort during menstruation. In severe cases, there will be severe pain. In addition, some women with dysmenorrhea take painkillers to relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. However, if you take too many painkillers, you will develop a certain dependence on the drugs, which will cause your own absorption of the drugs to decrease. If you have frequent dysmenorrhea, it may be caused by certain disease factors, such as uterine disease. Therefore, for women with frequent dysmenorrhea, a comprehensive and detailed examination should be done to find out the cause and then make targeted treatment.

Second, lower abdominal pain during menstruation may also be caused by a tumor. When you suffer from a tumor, you will experience symptoms of low back pain, abdominal pain, abdominal distension and prolapse. Generally, these symptoms are persistent and will not disappear suddenly. If the tumor ruptures or twists, or if there is bleeding, it will cause sudden abdominal pain, and surgical treatment must be performed in time.
