What is the cause of abdominal distension and pain?

I believe that many women must have experienced lower abdominal distension and pain in their daily lives. This symptom is not very common. It is not ruled out that it is related to normal dysmenorrhea, but also includes indirect cystitis, acute enteritis, etc. These may cause lower abdominal distension and pain and cause unnecessary trouble. Special attention and understanding are needed, because lower abdominal distension and pain can be considered as a physiological characteristic or a pathological characteristic.

Reason 1: Dysmenorrhea The symptoms of dysmenorrhea are lower abdominal pain, mental tension, depression, fear, and emotional instability. It mainly depends on whether there is vomiting or fainting during menstruation, whether you can continue to work, and whether you need to rest in bed. When the lower abdominal distension and pain are severe, the patient will turn pale, sweat, have cold hands and feet, feel nauseous, vomit, and even faint and collapse. Therefore, long-term dysmenorrhea cannot be ignored, especially for women of childbearing age, as minor dysmenorrhea may affect fertility.

Reason 2: Interstitial cystitis If you experience distension and pain in the middle of your lower abdomen, and are also accompanied by discomfort when urinating, frequent urination and other symptoms, you may be suffering from interstitial cystitis, which means that your urinary tract is in an inflammatory state that causes the bladder to swell. Female friends with interstitial cystitis may have lesions in the inner wall of their bladder, which stimulates the central nervous system of the brain to produce a urination reaction, pain on all sides of the pubic bone, which worsens when trying to urinate, frequent urination, and sharp pain during sexual intercourse.

Reason three: Acute enteritis Acute enteritis-disease in the large intestine leads to extreme sensitivity of nerves and muscles. 20% of the population suffers from sensitive bowel syndrome (ibs), 65% of which are women. The lower abdomen is twitching and painful, accompanied by dizziness, abdominal distension, persistent diarrhea or constipation. Reason 4: Uterine fibroids. Continuous or intermittent lower abdominal distension and pain may be caused by uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are a benign tumor. Patients with this tumor will experience lower abdominal distension and pain, but the pain is not specific and comes and goes. Increased menstrual bleeding is also one of the symptoms of uterine fibroids. The biggest harm of fibroids is that they cause fertility disorders.

Reason 5: Ovarian cyst Ovarian cyst refers to a lump containing fluid in the uterus. All ovarian cysts are functional cysts. The developing eggs may be surrounded by cystic fluid, causing ovarian enlargement and lower abdominal pain. Over time, ovarian cysts may grow larger so that you feel pain during exercise or when you stand up after sitting still. People with ovarian cysts may also develop into cancer, so they must be treated in a timely manner to avoid delaying the disease.

Reason six: Acute pelvic inflammatory disease should be considered if there are symptoms such as lower abdominal distension and pain, fever, increased vaginal discharge, or even chills, high fever, headache, and loss of appetite. The main symptoms are lower abdominal distension and pain. If an abscess is formed, there may be a lower abdominal mass and local compression and irritation symptoms, such as bladder irritation symptoms and rectal irritation symptoms, which are persistent. Reason 7: Ectopic pregnancy Ectopic pregnancy refers to pregnancy outside the uterus, especially fallopian tube pregnancy which accounts for more than 95%. Ectopic pregnancy is one of the common acute abdominal diseases in obstetrics and gynecology, which causes great pain to women of childbearing age. If not diagnosed in time and actively rescued, it can be life-threatening. Symptoms include tearing pain on one side of the lower abdomen accompanied by nausea, the urge to defecate, and a feeling of falling.
