How long does mild abdominal pain last during early pregnancy
1. Early pregnancy reaction abdominal pain: In early pregnancy, there may be some mild abdominal pain and discomfort, but the duration is not long, often accompanied by vomiting, which is a manifestation of early pregnancy reaction. Pain that occurs in the upper abdomen is often caused by an increase in physiological gastric acid secretion during early pregnancy; Occasional pain in the lower abdomen is related to the swelling of the uterus, which pulls upwards on the ligaments supporting the uterus. With the end of early pregnancy, these pains and discomforts will naturally disappear.
2. Uterine fibroids: Uterine fibroids may grow during pregnancy, and their effects on pregnancy include fibroid degeneration and necrosis, fibroid torsion, and direct interference with fetal development or obstruction of production. This pain usually comes suddenly and the pain point is fixed, belonging to local pain.
3. Ectopic pregnancy: refers to the situation where the embryo implants and develops outside the uterus, such as in the fallopian tubes, ovaries, abdominal cavity, etc. Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy in early pregnancy: amenorrhea, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding. If the gestational sac in the uterus cannot be seen through abdominal or vaginal ultrasound at 6 weeks of pregnancy, and human chorionic gonadotropin is elevated in the blood, and there is even internal bleeding, it can be diagnosed as ectopic pregnancy.
4. Ovarian tumors: During pregnancy, complications caused by ovarian tumors include tumor torsion and rupture. Most ovarian tumors in the early stages of pregnancy are benign, but there are also malignant tumors present. Therefore, if ovarian tumors are found during pregnancy, and symptoms such as cramping, abdominal discomfort, abnormal abdominal swelling, ascites, etc. occur, medical attention must be sought as soon as possible.
