Patient's question:
Case: I have tested positive for pregnancy using a test strip. The time is 40 days. However, I have been experiencing mild abdominal pain recently. Could you please ask the expert if this is normal and what the possible causes might be?Doctor's answer:
Hello, abdominal pain during pregnancy is a common phenomenon, with many possible causes. Some are normal pregnancy symptoms, while others indicate serious conditions. The most common cause of abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy is due to the uterus expanding after conception, stretching the uterine ligaments. This type of pain is usually not severe and may cause some discomfort but does not affect daily life. The pain location is not fixed, generally occurring in the lower left or lower right abdomen, and the duration of pain is very short.
