What is the reason why there is a stinging sensation in the abdomen? Is the stinging a result of a hormonal imbalance? Is this a symptom of problems with the reproductive organs? Is this a symptom of diagnosed endometriosis? The question is answered by the drug. Anna Mitschke.
What causes stings in the lower abdomen?
Hello. I am 39 years old and have a problem that appeared a few weeks ago. I noticed that I feel after more effort stinging in the lower abdomen, this is not ordinary colic, but the pain that prevents me from straightening up, the stinging in the lower abdomen lasts a long time, sometimes it lasted about 40 minutes, it only subsided after taking the diastolic pill. What causes stings in the lower abdomen? Could such discomfort in the lower abdomen be the result of hormonal disorders and problems with the reproductive organs?
During the last control visit to the gynecologist, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, so I wonder if the stinging in the lower abdomen may be a symptom of this ailment. I’ve never had any gynecological problems, so I don’t know how the body reacts. I have no other symptoms, I am not chronically ill, I do not take any medications on a regular basis, only vitamins and dietary supplements related to slimming. I have not undergone any surgical procedures recently.
I am worried and do not know which doctor should I go to. I am thinking about doing an ultrasound of the abdomen and lower abdomen. I am asking for tips on what I should do.
The doctor explains the reasons for the stinging in the lower abdomen
Stinging pain in the lower abdomen it can have many causes. Depending on its location, severity, duration, circumstances in which it manifests itself, its mitigating and exacerbating factors, comorbid symptoms, medical history, it may indicate various diseases. One of the most common causes of acute abdominal pain is appendicitis. Initially, the pain is located in the area of the navel, then it moves to the area of the right iliac fossa.
Lower abdominal pain on the left side may be evidence of diverticulitis of the large intestine. Then there are symptoms such as a change in the rhythm of bowel movements, flatulence, constipation alternating with diarrhea, temporary arrest of bowel movements and gases. Both the right and the left side of the lower abdomen may suffer from pain such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, nephrolithiasis, pyelonephritis, cystitis, pelvic abscess, hernia, intussusception, and sacroiliitis.
In women, lower abdominal pain may indicate adnexitis, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy rupture, ovarian torsion, ovarian rupture. Pain in this location also occurs in the course of endometriosis. Women suffering from endometriosis often report painful menstruation, painful intercourse, pain during urination and stool, pain in the sacral spine, diffuse and chronic abdominal pain. I have listed only some of the causes of lower abdominal pain. Making a correct diagnosis requires, among others examining the patient.
I suggest you visit your GP. After the examination, the doctor will decide on further proceedings, will order the necessary diagnostics and, if necessary, refer them to a specialist. It is also worth visiting a gynecologist. Please do not underestimate the symptoms. In case of acute pain, please do not wait for an appointment, but seek medical help immediately.
