What is wrong with pain around the belly button during menstruation?

Menstrual pain around the navel may be caused by dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.

1. Dysmenorrhea: Due to pelvic congestion during menstruation, changes in hormone levels in the body cause endometrial shedding, increased prostaglandin secretion, uterine contraction and dysmenorrhea symptoms, which usually occur in the early stages of menstruation. Patients should pay attention to their diet, eat less cold food, keep their abdomen warm, and avoid colds.

2. Endometriosis: Due to the rupture of ovarian endometriosis cysts, the fluid in the cysts stimulates the pelvic peritoneal nerves, causing adhesion of ectopic endometrium to the pelvic cavity, leading to abdominal pain during menstruation, accompanied by nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.

3. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease: Inflammation causes adhesion of pelvic organs or bleeding at the site of inflammation, irritates the abdominal nerves, causes abdominal distension and pain around the navel, and mainly manifests after sexual intercourse, excessive fatigue, menstruation, etc. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is more likely to recur and has a great impact on the quality of life, such as menstrual changes, infertility and other adverse conditions.

Diseases such as appendicitis and gastric ulcers may also cause the above situation. It is recommended that patients pay more attention to rest. If the abdominal pain is unbearable, they should go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.
