Patient's question:
Hello: If it's early pregnancy abdominal pain, is it on both sides or in the middle? I've been having pain in the middle these past few days, like menstrual cramps, and sometimes it's quite painful! My body temperature has risen, but I feel cold, and I sometimes sweat cold at night. Is this a symptom of early pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, mild abdominal pain may occur in the early stages, but it does not last too long, and it may also be accompanied by symptoms of nausea and vomiting. This is a normal early pregnancy symptom. The reason for the abdominal pain is mainly due to excessive stomach acid secretion during early physiological reactions, as well as the pressure caused by the enlargement of the uterus.Another point to consider when experiencing abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy is whether you may have uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids can grow during pregnancy, which may hinder the normal development of the fetus. The headache caused by uterine fibroids is sudden and localized. If this occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to determine whether it is due to uterine fibroids.
