Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Dull pain in the lower abdomen in women may be caused by conditions such as corpus luteum rupture or endometritis. The corpus luteum is a gland-like structure that forms in women after ovulation and typically disappears on its own. However, if subjected to abdominal trauma or intense physical activity, the corpus luteum may rupture, leading to a dull ache in the lower abdomen. Inflammation of the endometrium due to bacterial infection or other causes can also result in mild lower abdominal pain, often accompanied by increased vaginal discharge. In severe cases, fever may occur. Patients are advised to seek timely medical evaluation and receive treatment based on the underlying cause.
