Abdominal pain and abnormal vaginal discharge

Dull pain in the lower abdomen accompanied by an abnormal increase in vaginal discharge may be related to gynecological inflammation, endocrine disorders or reproductive system diseases, and targeted treatment should be taken according to the specific cause.

Abdominal pain and abnormal increase in vaginal discharge are common gynecological symptoms, which may be caused by a variety of reasons. Gynecological inflammation such as vaginitis, cervicitis or pelvic inflammatory disease is a common cause. Inflammatory stimulation can cause increased vaginal discharge accompanied by odor and abnormal color, as well as lower abdominal pain. Endocrine disorders may also cause abnormal vaginal discharge. For example, increased estrogen levels can increase vaginal discharge, which may be accompanied by irregular menstruation or mood swings. Reproductive system diseases such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts or endometriosis may also cause similar symptoms. These diseases are usually accompanied by other symptoms such as irregular bleeding or pain during sexual intercourse.

The treatment methods vary according to the different causes. If it is a gynecological inflammation, drug treatment is the main means. For example, bacterial vaginitis can use metronidazole or clindamycin, fungal vaginitis can use fluconazole or clotrimazole, and pelvic inflammatory disease may require the combined use of antibiotics such as ceftriaxone and doxycycline. For endocrine disorders, doctors may recommend drugs that regulate hormone levels, such as oral contraceptives or progesterone. If it is a reproductive system disease, the treatment plan may include drug therapy, surgical treatment, or a combination of both. For example, uterine fibroids can be reduced by drugs such as mifepristone, and surgical removal is required in severe cases; ovarian cysts can be removed through laparoscopic surgery; endometriosis can be treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists or surgery.

In daily life, maintaining good hygiene habits and a healthy lifestyle can help prevent and relieve symptoms. Wash the vulva with warm water every day, and avoid using irritating lotions; choose breathable cotton underwear and avoid wearing tight pants; eat more foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains, and reduce the intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods; appropriate exercise such as yoga, walking or swimming can help improve pelvic blood circulation and relieve lower abdominal pain. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition.
