Pregnant woman has dull pain on the right side of her abdomen

There are many reasons why women experience abdominal pain after pregnancy. The dull pain on the right side of the pregnant woman's abdomen may be due to a physiological phenomenon, or it may be caused by an ectopic pregnancy. The former does not last long, but the latter will cause continuous pain and bleeding symptoms, which is very harmful and requires timely termination of pregnancy. Let’s take a look at the reasons why pregnant women feel a dull pain on the right side of their abdomen.

I am three months pregnant and I feel a dull pain on the right side of my stomach. What is going on?

1. It's normal, don't be afraid. This is caused by the stretching of the ligament on one side of your uterus when the baby is growing. It's only temporary and will be fine after a while. The pain varies from person to person. Some people have pain all over the uterus, while others only have one side. It's irregular and unlocalized pain. Don't worry, it's okay. If you are really worried, go for a B-ultrasound. But I suggest you not do it too often. From pregnancy to delivery, it's best not to do it more than four times!

2. If you experience abdominal pain during pregnancy, you must first rule out whether you have eaten something unpleasant, causing intestinal infection and resulting in abdominal pain. Another possibility is excessive activity, or irregular painless contractions of the uterus. However, these contractions are sparse, irregular, and painless. Based on your situation, it is recommended that you pay attention to rest. If the abdominal pain caused by the above reasons is excluded, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time, and treat the cause after the cause is identified.

3. There are many reasons for abdominal pain in early pregnancy. Some of them are normal physiological phenomena. Generally, physiological abdominal pain is not very serious and the attack time is very short. It is mainly because the uterus becomes larger after pregnancy and the uterine ligaments are involved. It generally does not affect daily life, and the location of abdominal pain is not fixed.

4. If there is no organic disease after examination, there is no need for treatment at all. Abdominal pain in early pregnancy is common in threatened abortion. Patients with threatened abortion may experience abdominal pain, and sometimes spotting. Patients with ectopic pregnancy generally also have abdominal pain, but most of the time it is one-sided pain, and there may also be irregular vaginal bleeding. Other patients such as organic diseases, ovarian cysts, and uterine fibroids may also experience abdominal pain.
