What should I do if there is a hard lump in my abdomen after my period?

Abdominal lumps in the late menstrual period may be caused by constipation, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, etc., and can be treated with general treatment, drug treatment, surgical treatment, etc.

1. Constipation:

It may be caused by improper diet, lack of activity, etc., which will lead to long-term accumulation of intestinal stool, resulting in dry stool and difficulty in excretion. When you touch your abdomen, you may feel like a lump. You can eat more foods rich in dietary fiber to promote the improvement of gastrointestinal motility, such as bananas, celery, etc. You can also take drugs such as lactulose oral solution, mosapride citrate tablets, cisapride tablets, etc. under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Endometriosis:

It may be caused by genetics, iatrogenic implantation and other reasons, which can cause the endometrium to proliferate to areas outside the uterine cavity and myometrium. There may be nodules or lumps when touched, and there may also be symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and abnormal menstruation. Patients can take drugs such as mifepristone tablets, levonorgestrel tablets, and medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets according to the doctor's advice. If drug treatment is ineffective, laparoscopic surgery can also be used to remove the lesion.

3. Uterine fibroids:

It may be caused by genetics, sex hormone levels, stem cell mutations, etc., which can cause the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle tissue to form a benign tumor. When the uterine fibroids are large, there may be a palpable mass in the abdomen. Patients can be treated by myomectomy or hysterectomy.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by intestinal obstruction, which can also be relieved by surgical treatment.
