LOWER ABDOMINAL PAIN IN WOMEN

Several disorders specific to women can cause discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen. Many of these are related to the reproductive tract (ovaries, uterus, or fallopian tubes) or to pregnancy. Abdominal pain that occurs during pregnancy should always be taken seriously.

WARNING: Abdominal Pain in Pregnancy - Intermittent mild abdominal pains are common throughout pregnancy due to stretching of the muscles & ligaments of the abdomen. Abdominal pain that occurs in early pregnancy can be due to complications, such as MISCARRIAGE or an ECTOPIC PREGNANCY. In later pregnancy, pain is most commonly caused by the onset of labor. Rarely, partial seperation of the placenta from the uterine wall may occur. If you develop severe pain, call your doctor immediately.
