Why pulls the lower abdomen: causes and symptoms

Drawing pains in the lower abdomen is a nonspecific symptom typical of many diseases. In the pelvic region there is a large accumulation of sensitive nerve nodes, so pain impulses coming from the pelvic organs are difficult to identify by the Central Nervous System. If pulling the lower abdomen, you need to seek the advice of a specialist and undergo a survey. After studying the anamnesis (the nature of pain, the area of ​​distribution, the conditions of origin, localization, concomitant symptoms) and the analysis of laboratory data, the doctor will put the correct diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate therapy.

Pulls the bottom of the stomach - causes and obvious symptoms that indicate specific diseases:

Why pulls the lower abdomen before the monthly

Painful sensations before menstruation are manifested in different ways: the stomach can pull, increase, hurt. All this happens in conjunction with increased lability of the nervous system, a violation of the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, obsessive headaches.

Typical causes of occurrence:

It hurts and pulls the lower abdomen after menstruation

Moderate pain in the lower abdomen during or before the menstrual period is a physiological standard. And why pulls the stomach after menstruation? There are two versions of the development of events: the dynamics of the pathological condition, implying urgent surgical intervention, and the permissible deviation from the norm.

Variants of the norm

  1. Postovulatory syndrome. During ovulation, the egg that is ready for fertilization leaves the ovarian follicle into the abdominal cavity, from which it "clings" to the processes of the fallopian tubes and begins to move to the uterus. After 3-6 days after fertilization in the fallopian tube, the fetal egg is implanted into the uterine mucosa, if conception does not occur, after 24-36 hours the sex cell dies. Gynecologists distinguish a specific term - postovulyatorny syndrome, resulting from changes in the hormonal background.

    Symptoms:

    • the lower abdomen hurts;
    • abruptly increases libido;
    • the type and amount of vaginal discharge changes;
    • the general state of health and emotional state worsens.
  2. Pregnancy. If after the ovulation pulls the lower abdomen, it may have become pregnant. The introduction of the egg into the wall of the uterus is accompanied by the release of enzymes that melt the membranes of the uterus - this causes damage to the blood vessels and the integrity of the tissues, which explains the slight soreness in the abdomen. The second sign of pregnancy is implantation bleeding (observed in 10-20% of women), which is a smearing red / brown discharge.

  3. Premenstrual syndrome. Complex complex of signs developing 3-10 days before the onset of the cycle. It has many manifestations, including pulling pain in the lower abdomen, vegetative-vascular disruptions, and psychoemotional agitation.

    Pathological signs:

    • intense pain in the abdomen, which is not removed by analgesics and significantly worsens well-being;
    • bleeding, which by characteristics differs from implantation;
    • disorders of stool, urination;
    • tension of the muscles of the abdomen;
    • lack of appetite, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, severe weakness.

Pulls the lower abdomen after sex

After qualitative long-term sex, 20-25% of women experience episodic / regular pains in the lower abdomen. Many are embarrassed to admit this even to a specialist, prolonging their suffering. Meanwhile, gynecologists argue that there are many means that can make sex completely painless.

Why pulls the stomach after sex - the reasons in chronological order:

During pregnancy, a woman should treat sex very carefully. Gynecologists do not recommend too frequent intercourse, especially if after sex pulls the lower abdomen. The reason is that habitual postures have become uncomfortable due to changes in the muscles of the uterus and the vagina, so their reduction causes pain. Any signs of aggravated, prolonged pain in the lower abdomen after sex - an occasion to seek medical attention in order to prevent the progression of serious gynecological pathologies.
