Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
The causes of lower abdominal pain are complex and varied, mainly including: 1. Digestive system diseases: such as acute enteritis, intestinal obstruction, and intestinal volvulus, which may be caused by inflammation, obstruction, or torsion. 2. Urinary system diseases: such as cystitis and pyelonephritis, often accompanied by symptoms like frequent urination and urgency. 3. Gynecological diseases: such as ovarian cysts and endometriosis, which are female-specific conditions that may also lead to lower abdominal pain. 4. Physiological causes: such as pregnancy, primary or secondary dysmenorrhea, and ovulation pain, which can also cause lower abdominal pain. In addition, diseases of the abdominal wall, thoracic cavity, and systemic diseases may also result in lower abdominal pain. The specific cause must be determined through a comprehensive evaluation of symptoms, physical examination, and test results. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention.
