Dr. Wang Mingxuan
A woman's lower abdominal heaviness or distension may be caused by gynecological inflammation, frequent sexual intercourse, and other factors. Poor personal hygiene, viral or bacterial infections during intrauterine procedures, or inadequate postoperative care can all lead to gynecological diseases. Excessive frequency of sexual intercourse may also cause lower abdominal discomfort. During sexual activity, intense intercourse may injure the cervix and surrounding areas, resulting in a sensation of heaviness or distension in the lower abdomen.
