After pregnancy, the symptoms that pregnant women experience may vary from person to person. The most common symptom is delayed menstruation, which is the most obvious symptom of pregnancy. Some pregnant women may also experience discomfort such as dizziness, breast tenderness, nausea and vomiting. So, will there be abdominal distension and pain in the early stages of pregnancy?
In the early stages of pregnancy, there may be a feeling of bloating and pain in the lower abdomen. Abdominal distension and pain are considered to be caused by two conditions: physiological abdominal pain and pathological abdominal pain. Physiological abdominal pain is a relatively normal phenomenon, which most pregnant women experience in the early stages of pregnancy, usually in the first two to three months of pregnancy. This is caused by the enlargement of the uterus. As the fetus continues to develop, the uterus will only continue to grow, and it will stimulate the lower edge of the ribs, resulting in a feeling of abdominal distension and pain.
Abdominal distension and pain may also be pathological reasons, such as organ diseases such as ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids, which can cause varying degrees of abdominal distension and pain, and the duration can be relatively long. If there are still bleeding symptoms, it indicates that the disease has developed to a certain extent, and pregnant women need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.
If a pregnant woman experiences threatened miscarriage, it can also cause abdominal distension and pain. The primary symptom of threatened miscarriage is abdominal pain, accompanied by vaginal bleeding. Ectopic pregnancy can also cause lower abdominal distension and pain, which is usually pain in one side of the stomach, and the pain is more obvious, accompanied by irregular vaginal bleeding symptoms.
