What causes acute pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation? There are 6 types of pain

Acute pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation is probably dysmenorrhea. This may be caused by endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, uterine malformation and other diseases; it may also be caused by cold abdomen, frequent eating of raw and cold food leading to uterine cold; strenuous exercise during menstruation can also lead to increased menstrual blood volume, accompanied by severe abdominal pain.

Many women experience lower abdominal pain after menstruation, which is called dysmenorrhea. When the symptoms are mild, there is only a dull pain in the abdomen, which can be relieved by hot compresses and proper rest; when the symptoms are severe, medication is required, which has a great impact on normal life and work. So, what is the cause of acute lower abdominal pain during menstruation?
1. Caused by endometriosis <br/>When endometriosis occurs, endometrial tissue will not only appear in the uterine cavity, but also in the ovaries, pelvic cavity, and peritoneum. These ectopic tissues are affected by sex hormones and will also undergo cyclical changes with menstruation, which will irritate local tissues and cause severe pain.
2. Caused by pelvic inflammatory disease <br/>If you have had an abortion and do not take proper postoperative care, or do not pay attention to personal hygiene during sexual intercourse, it is very likely to induce pelvic inflammatory disease, leading to pelvic adhesions, congestion, lower abdominal distension and pain. The pain will often worsen after menstruation and after sexual intercourse.
3. Caused by uterine fibroids <br/>When uterine fibroids are small, there are generally no obvious discomfort symptoms. As uterine fibroids grow, they will begin to affect menstruation, often leading to increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation; if uterine fibroids are close to the endometrium, they will stimulate uterine contraction, and obvious abdominal pain symptoms will occur during menstruation.
4. Caused by uterine malformation <br/>Some women have congenital uterine malformation problems, such as narrow cervical opening, excessive uterine curvature, etc. When menstruation comes, menstruation cannot be discharged smoothly and often accumulates in the uterine cavity, which can also cause abnormal contraction of the uterus, and there will be severe pain at this time.
5. Caused by uterine cold <br/>During menstruation, you should pay special attention to keeping your abdomen warm. If your abdomen is exposed to cold during menstruation, or if you often eat cold and raw food, you will have uterine cold problems, which will also cause menstrual blood to flow poorly and accumulate in the uterine cavity, causing abdominal pain.
6. Caused by strenuous exercise <br/>You should rest adequately during menstruation and avoid overwork, especially strenuous exercise, because strenuous exercise will not only increase bleeding but also cause severe abdominal pain.
