Stretching pain in the lower abdomen in women

According to statistics, in females, the incidence of this symptom is much higher. This is due to the peculiarities of the anatomical and histological structure, greater plasticity, unstable psyche, endocrine regulation. Many women have problems with the uterus, appendages, ovaries, which causes discomfort and pain. A certain role is played by menstruation, associated with a number of changes and changes in the body. Periodic pain before menstruation, disturbing once a month, are considered as a variant of the norm. There is a diagnosis - algodismenorea, which for today occupies high enough positions in the structure of gynecological diseases and pathologies and is characterized as painful menstruation. The process of bearing a child, the generic and postnatal stages also contribute to the onset of pain. Strong, persistent pain, especially if the painkiller is powerless, should cause numerous concerns, as this may be a symptom of the growth of tumors, polyps, cysts, and twisting of the polyp. Concomitant fever, chills, pus - purulent-inflammatory process.

Do not just think about gynecological diseases. Pain may well be unrelated to them. It can refer to the intestines, stomach, accompany inflammation and appendicitis depletion, in which he gives part of the reserve nutrients to the body. If a woman is pregnant, in the early stages you do not have to worry about pain, they are often of a natural nature. But at later stages there is already cause for concern, since pathological pain can be attached. The longer the period, the higher the probability of their occurrence, later usually only pathological ones develop.
