What happens if I have lower abdominal distension and pain during menstruation?

Lower abdominal distension and pain during menstruation is caused by dysmenorrhea, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine polyps, etc.

1. Dysmenorrhea:

Normal menstruation has a certain periodicity and self-limitation. During menstruation, endometrial shedding and vaginal bleeding will occur. Lower abdominal pain may also occur due to excessive uterine contraction and vascular spasm. At this time, a hot water bottle can be used for hot compresses in the lower abdomen to promote blood circulation and help relieve pain.

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease:

If you suffer from pelvic inflammation, the inflammation will constantly stimulate the pelvic area, and a large amount of inflammatory exudate will also appear. When the hypogastric nerve is stimulated, there will be persistent or paroxysmal swelling and pain in the lower abdomen. Drugs such as levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules, amoxicillin granules, and cephalosporin granules can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Uterine polyps:

If uterine polyps occur, as the size of the polyps increases, it will affect the normal structure and function of the uterus, and will also cause compression to the surrounding tissues, causing abnormal menstruation, lower abdominal pain, etc. Uterine polypectomy can be performed under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the above common causes, it may also be caused by uterine fibroids, etc. If the discomfort symptoms are obvious, you should go to the hospital gynecology department for treatment in time, and you must not take medicine blindly, so as not to affect your own recovery or produce other adverse effects.
