Contemporary society demands that women can both work in the kitchen and in the living room, so many women strive for this. In the process of striving forward, it is inevitable to neglect some aspects of one's body, which leads to many small problems, such as stomach pain. So is stomach pain a precursor to menstruation? Let's learn about it through the following article.
Is stomach pain a precursor to menstruation
Everyone knows that there will be stomach pain before menstruation. But not all stomach pain is caused by a menstrual cycle. It is necessary to observe the symptoms of stomach pain. If the pain location and severity are the same as the previous ones, it is possible to have a menstrual cycle. If you experience abdominal pain before normal menstruation, such as after ovulation, you should go to the hospital for examination.
Several situations of abdominal pain
1. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease. The uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes are all located in the pelvic cavity, so acute inflammation of these three organs can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, such as tubal abscess, endometritis, and various fluid accumulations caused by inflammation, all of which can cause abdominal pain.
2. Ovulation induced abdominal pain. Adolescent girls may experience mild abdominal pain that alternates left and right, occurring once a month, due to the rupture of follicles during ovulation, which may stimulate the peritoneum with follicular fluid. This is a physiological condition.
3. Ectopic pregnancy rupture. Ectopic pregnancy refers to the implantation of a fertilized egg in an inappropriate location (outside the uterine cavity), and the rupture of an ectopic pregnancy is one of the most common causes of gynecological acute abdomen.
4. Ovarian tumor pedicle torsion. Ovarian cyst torsion refers to the twisting of the blood vessels and ligaments that supply the ovarian cyst, causing ischemia, rupture, and necrosis of the cyst, resulting in severe abdominal pain, mostly paroxysmal colic, and is also one of the common gynecological acute abdominal diseases.
Is stomach pain a precursor to menstruation? Maybe it is, maybe not. Generally, there may be abdominal pain before the onset of menstruation, but it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by other diseases. Therefore, women need to go to a regular hospital for detailed examination and timely targeted treatment. During the treatment process, do not engage in sexual activity as it may pose difficulties for subsequent treatment.
