Pregnant women have lower abdominal pain like dysmenorrhea

Lower abdominal pain usually refers to pain in the lower abdomen. Lower abdominal pain in pregnant women is like dysmenorrhea. It may be cramps caused by cold, or it may be related to pelvic inflammation. Some pregnant women have lower abdominal pain as a symptom of threatened abortion or threatened premature birth. Some patients also have ovarian cyst torsion or rupture, resulting in abnormal bleeding. Lower abdominal pain should be alert to ectopic pregnancy, so you need to see a doctor for active examination. Some patients need to keep warm, be hospitalized for fetal preservation treatment, etc. Some patients need surgical treatment as soon as possible.

1. Cramps and pains caused by cold: When pregnant women catch a cold, the smooth muscles in the pelvis, including the uterus and surrounding smooth muscles, may contract and spasm. Some may have obvious dysmenorrhea-like symptoms, with lower abdominal pain like dysmenorrhea. Pregnant women need to keep warm and drink plenty of hot water to help relieve symptoms.

2. Pelvic inflammation: Women with pelvic inflammation will experience pelvic congestion due to increased uterine size or changes in hormone levels after pregnancy, which may aggravate the symptoms of lower abdominal pain, which may be as painful as dysmenorrhea. In this case, if the B-ultrasound is normal, the main thing is to keep warm, rest, pay attention to decompression, and improve your immunity. If you are preparing for an abortion, you must actively treat the infection first. Usually, cefuroxime axetil tablets, levofloxacin capsules, and metronidazole tablets are selected.

3. Threatened abortion or threatened premature birth: Paroxysmal lower abdominal pain is like dysmenorrhea, which may also be a symptom of threatened abortion or threatened premature birth. You need to go to the hospital to let the doctor check the uterine contraction. If necessary, you need to be hospitalized for fetal preservation treatment. Usually, the choices are magnesium sulfate injection, progesterone injection, nifedipine sustained-release tablets, etc.

4. Ovarian cysts: Some women may be diagnosed with ovarian cysts during pregnancy. Some ovarian cysts may suddenly twist or rupture, causing lower abdominal pain similar to dysmenorrhea. Treatment should be based on the specific disease, and surgical treatment should be chosen as soon as possible if necessary.

5. Ectopic pregnancy: Patients with ectopic pregnancy may also experience lower abdominal pain, similar to dysmenorrhea. Therefore, if there is abnormal bleeding and obvious abdominal pain after pregnancy, you need to actively seek medical attention and examination. Some patients need emergency laparotomy.
