Patient's question:
After having sexual intercourse, I felt a soreness in my lower abdomen and a bit of fullness, but there were no other symptoms. I've never experienced similar symptoms before. Could the lower abdominal soreness be caused by cervicitis or pelvic inflammatory disease? First follow-up question: It seems like you didn't answer the question properly? ???(Note: The translation follows the instructions provided, keeping the line breaks and question marks unchanged while translating all other Chinese text into English.)
Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of mild lower left abdominal pain. Some chronic gynecological inflammation and gynecological tumors may cause symptoms of mild lower left abdominal pain:1. Ovulation pain: If the mild lower left abdominal pain occurs between two menstrual periods, it should be considered as ovulation pain, as this period is exactly when ovulation occurs.
2. Cervical erosion or uterine prolapse: These two conditions can also cause mild lower abdominal pain when they worsen, radiating to the waist area.
3. Acute inflammation: This includes acute endometritis, acute tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic peritonitis, and acute pelvic.
4. Chronic inflammation: The most common is chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which often flares up acutely after fatigue, exercise, or sexual activity.
5. Ovarian tumors: When the pedicle of a cyst twists, it can cause pain. The pain suddenly occurs on one side of the lower abdomen,, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
6. Ectopic pregnancy: The most common type is tubal pregnancy, which can lead to intra-abdominal bleeding and cause pain. The pain varies depending on the amount and speed of bleeding. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination and receive symptomatic treatment after confirmation.
