What is the reason why women often have stomach pain?

As women's status in the workplace is getting higher and higher, many female friends will devote themselves to work to prove that they are no worse than men, which will lead to them neglecting their physical health. Therefore, they will often have stomach pain in the sub-healthy state. So what is the reason why women often have stomach pain? Facing this problem, let's discuss it with friends in the next time.

1. Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is common in adolescent girls. It is related to the level of prostaglandins in the body, coldness, and emotional and psychological factors without organic lesions. It can generally heal itself with age or after marriage and childbirth. Secondary dysmenorrhea is commonly caused by endometriosis and adenomyosis. It manifests as gradually increasing pain, often with cyclical attacks, or dull pain in the lower abdomen during non-menstrual periods that worsens before and after menstruation. In addition, it is often accompanied by infertility and menstrual disorders, and often requires drug treatment.

2. Ovulation abdominal pain

When adolescent girls ovulate, the follicles rupture and the follicular fluid may have a certain stimulating effect on the peritoneum, so they sometimes experience mild abdominal pain that alternates between left and right sides and occurs once a month. This is physiological, and the symptoms are mostly unilateral lower abdominal pain, dull pain, or distended pain. Some girls also have a little vaginal bleeding, i.e. ovulation bleeding, which usually disappears on its own after one or two days, and generally does not exceed seven days. This type of abdominal pain usually does not have any pathological changes, and gynecological examinations are also completely normal. It is physiological abdominal pain and generally does not require treatment.

3. Ovarian corpus luteum rupture

This is caused by excessive bleeding in the corpus luteum, accompanied by sudden onset of lower abdominal or unilateral abdominal pain, and in severe cases, shock may occur. Most cases of ovarian corpus luteum rupture occur on the 20th to 26th day of the menstrual cycle, and lower abdominal pain may occur at the onset, with varying degrees of severity. Before the corpus luteum ruptures, the ovaries will experience congestion and swelling. When the ovaries are affected by external or indirect external forces, especially during the premenstrual congestion, such as induced by straining during bowel movements, trauma, sexual intercourse, or strenuous activities, it is best to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately after the onset of ovarian corpus luteum rupture. Do not abuse painkillers on your own to avoid masking symptoms and affecting normal diagnosis and treatment.

Through the above discussion, I believe that many female friends have a deeper understanding of the reasons why women often have stomach pain. Of course, I would like to remind everyone that we must first understand the root cause of stomach pain, whether it is enteritis, gastritis or hepatitis, so that we can take targeted medicine and at the same time, we should also take care of ourselves from time to time.
