Abdominal pain and don’t let go It is recommended that you should come and consult with a gynecologist in order to receive an early diagnosis and treatment. Do not keep the abdominal pain that occurs silently alone. because of abdominal pain in women It may not be as normal as we think.

But it may be an important factor in warning signs of endometriosis. which is a disease that many women tend to overlook and lower abdominal pain It may be an important factor that sends a warning signal to be careful of the danger that may manifest itself in the form of other types of diseases as well. Many women often overlook especially during menstruation I might think that abdominal pain is normal.

The truth may be signaling something. Therefore, lower abdominal pain should be a symptom that should not be let go anymore. In this campaign, we would like to be an important voice to be a campaigner for all women to be aware and pay attention to this type of disease. and other diseases that may occur more

assistant professor Nattawut Dr. has described endometriosis as a condition in which endometrial cells grow outside the uterine cavity which may be inserted in the wall or muscle of the uterus Peritoneum, ovaries, intestinal wall, and bladder wall Or sometimes it may spread to distant organs such as the lungs when these membranes grow in the wrong place. It causes dark red or black blood that is thick like chocolate trapped in the organs. which is the main cause of various abnormal symptoms, especially abdominal pain that is common in patients with this disease

The most common locations found in the pelvis are the ovaries, fallopian tubes, the anterior, posterior and lateral lining of the uterus and nearby organs such as the bladder and colon. It is also found in the ureters, small intestines, lungs and brain. and skin area Or surgical wounds found in about 1 in 10 women of childbearing age and may be as high as 5 in 10 of women of childbearing age with menstrual pain. Endometriosis is one of the causes of menstrual pain which makes us suffer from pain. resulting in deteriorating quality of life Sometimes it affects work and society.

For risk groups that have a high chance of endometriosis Often associated with menstruation, for example, women who start menstruating for the first time before friends, women who enter menopause (menopause) later than usual, women who have a lot of menstruation and leave for several days Women whose menstrual cycles are frequent or the distance between each menstrual cycle is short. women with mothers A sister or sister has this disease. A woman who has her first child at an early age It will have a higher risk of getting this disease.

It also found that drinking a lot of alcohol and coffee. will have a higher risk of endometrial hyperplasia as well as endometrial hyperplasia There are both asymptomatic and asymptomatic types. The symptoms that are suspected to be abdominal pain in various forms are:

menstrual pain which is the most common symptom that comes to see a doctor The pain is usually brought before 2-3 days before the menstrual period. During the menstrual period, the pain will increase and become more intense in the following months.

Abdominal pain during sex The nature of the pain is a deep pain in the vagina during intercourse.
Chronic lower abdominal pain for more than 6 months

In addition, risk groups also cover infertile women. feel a lump in the lower abdomen abnormal bleeding from the vagina Minority may have other symptoms. Associated with the location of the disease, such as women with the disease in the bladder. There may be pain when urinating. Increased urination or blood in your urine during your period In women with disease in the large extremity, it may be difficult to pass. Pain when defecation or passing blood especially during the period Some people cough up blood during their periods. due to endometrial growth in the lungs, etc.

Endometriosis can cause infertility problems. This is because the disease often causes pelvic fibrosis. In some cases, it is so much that it causes obstruction of the fallopian tubes on both sides, making it impossible to have children naturally. May need to be treated by surgery. Or must use technology to assist in reproduction, such as in vitro fertilization

Female doctor Katanyuta Said, “In the group of people with infertility Found to be associated with endometrial disease 40-50% because it will cause the structure of the reproductive organs to malfunction. compared to people without the disease The fallopian tubes are clogged and the quality of the ovaries is reduced. Therefore, this group of people should consult a doctor to plan a pregnancy. Endometriosis is a disease that cannot be cured by the nature of the disease. But it will get better when entering menopause because menopause does not have female hormones (estrogen) to stimulate the disease again.

As for the purpose of current treatment Is to relieve the symptoms of this disease. By emphasizing the treatment mainly according to the symptoms, the treatment can be divided into 3 major methods: 1. Drug therapy. 2. Surgical therapy and 3. Combination therapy between medication and surgery. At present, there is no effective way to prevent this disease. Therefore, if there are suspected symptoms of this disease especially menstrual pain or pain in the lower abdomen Should consult an obstetrician-gynecologist in order to receive early diagnosis and treatment for future care planning.”
