Patient's question:
Female, 30 years old, recently she has been feeling lower abdominal pain, especially on the left side, with a persistent dull ache. Is this normal? She wants to consult about what causes lower abdominal dull pain in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Occasional mild lower right abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy is a normal early pregnancy symptom, mainly due to the stretching of uterine muscle fibers caused by the shrinkage of the uterus. Therefore, there is no need to worry if the pain reappears. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination in a reputable Grade III-A hospital as soon as possible based on their specific condition. This is the only way to receive symptomatic treatment and recover quickly.
