Left abdominal intestinal pain during menstruation

Menstrual left abdominal intestinal pain may be caused by physiological factors or pathological factors such as adnexitis or pelvic inflammatory disease. Patients can receive corresponding treatment based on their specific condition, as detailed below:

1. Physiological Factors

During menstruation, hormonal changes in a woman's body can cause pelvic congestion and blood stasis, potentially affecting the function of organs in the left pelvic region and leading to the aforementioned symptoms. This phenomenon is considered a normal physiological occurrence and does not require special treatment; symptoms typically resolve naturally after the menstrual period ends.

2. Pathological Factors

1) Adnexitis

This condition is usually caused by inflammation of the ovaries or fallopian tubes. Inflammatory irritation leads to the symptoms described above. Patients should visit a reputable hospital and, under medical guidance, take medications such as metronidazole tablets or roxithromycin capsules for treatment.

2) Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

If patients do not maintain proper genital hygiene, inflammation may develop in reproductive organs or the pelvic peritoneum. Due to inflammatory stimulation, patients may experience the symptoms mentioned. In severe cases, high fever, nausea, and other symptoms may occur. Under a doctor’s direction, patients may take oral medications such as levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules or tinidazole tablets.

In addition to the above, similar symptoms may also result from conditions such as left-sided salpingitis, left hydronephrosis, or kidney stones. If symptoms persist for an extended period, patients are advised to seek timely evaluation at a qualified medical facility under professional guidance to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
