What causes a dragging pain below the uterus?

A sensation of heaviness or pain in the lower part of the uterus may be caused by various factors. It could be a normal physiological occurrence during menstruation, as increased shedding of the endometrium may lead to a feeling of uterine heaviness or discomfort. Additionally, gynecological conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, and endometritis may also cause this sensation; these conditions are often accompanied by other symptoms like increased vaginal discharge and vulvar itching. Other diseases, including uterine inflammation, tuberculosis infection, uterine tumors, or uterine prolapse, can also result in a feeling of uterine heaviness or pain. If the discomfort is severe or accompanied by other symptoms, prompt medical evaluation is recommended. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and good personal hygiene can help prevent the development of related gynecological conditions.
