Introduction
Dull pain in the lower left abdomen near the uterus may be caused by corpus luteum rupture, adnexitis, ectopic pregnancy, or other reasons. It can be improved through medication or surgical treatment. In addition to the above causes, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, and endometriosis may also be responsible. For an accurate diagnosis, patients are advised to undergo a thorough examination at the hospital. Meanwhile, it is important to get adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue.

Dull pain in the lower left abdomen at the uterine position may be caused by corpus luteum rupture, adnexitis, ectopic pregnancy, or other reasons. Symptoms can be improved through medication or surgical treatment. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Corpus Luteum Rupture

Progesterone is a natural hormone secreted by the ovarian corpus luteum. If subjected to external impact or vigorous sexual activity, the corpus luteum may rupture, potentially causing pain in the lower left abdomen or pelvic discomfort. Under medical guidance, patients may take medications such as progesterone capsules, Wuji Baifeng Pills, or Gongyan Kang Granules to alleviate symptoms.

2. Adnexitis

The term "adnexa" refers to the fallopian tubes and ovaries. When these organs become infected by pathogens, inflammation may develop, leading to symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and increased vaginal discharge. Patients should follow medical advice and may be treated with medications such as levofloxacin tablets, metronidazole tablets, or cefixime capsules.

3. Ectopic Pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy typically refers to embryo implantation outside the uterine cavity, most commonly in the fallopian tube. This can obstruct normal uterine cavity patency and cause lower abdominal pain when the ectopic pregnancy results in miscarriage or rupture. If ectopic pregnancy is suspected, patients should go to the hospital for diagnostic procedures such as culdocentesis, blood HCG testing, and B-mode ultrasound under medical supervision.

Besides the above causes, conditions such as ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, or endometriosis may also be responsible. For an accurate diagnosis, patients are advised to undergo a thorough medical evaluation at a hospital. Additionally, adequate rest and avoidance of excessive fatigue are recommended.
