Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon unique to women of childbearing age, but it can also sometimes bring some menstrual discomfort, such as chest swelling, headache, dysmenorrhea and other menstrual syndrome symptoms during menstruation. Some women also experience lower abdominal pain after their menstrual period. So, what should I do if I have a stomachache after menstruation?
1. If a woman experiences lower abdominal pain after her menstrual period, the first thing to consider is whether she has caught a cold in her lower abdomen during her menstrual period. During menstruation, if the local insulation work is not done well, the abdomen will be stimulated by coldness, which not only causes discomfort during menstruation, but also often leads to a slight pain in the lower abdomen shortly after the end of menstruation. This can be achieved through local warmth preservation, such as hot compress with a hot water bottle or moxibustion, which can generally have a good relieving effect on lower abdominal pain caused by such reasons.
2. If there is always lower abdominal pain after each menstrual period, it may be related to pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic inflammatory disease can worsen corresponding symptoms in women during menstruation, after sexual intercourse, and after excessive fatigue, such as lower back pain and lower abdominal pain. Therefore, women who always have these symptoms should go to the hospital for targeted examination and diagnosis, and receive anti-inflammatory treatment.
3. Endometriosis, one of the common gynecological diseases, is also a cause of lower abdominal pain in women after menstruation. And this gynecological disease can lead to severe menstrual discomfort symptoms, such as dysmenorrhea. Therefore, based on their own situation, if women have dysmenorrhea during their menstrual period and also experience lower abdominal swelling and pain after menstruation, this cause should be mainly considered. After diagnosis, conservative treatment with medication can be adopted for this disease, and sometimes combined with surgery for comprehensive treatment according to the condition.
