下腹部疼痛
|
有時，許多婦女感到在下腹部疼痛，尤其在月經之前或月經期間疼痛更加明顯。這有非常充分的理由與經前期綜合征[Premenstrual
syndrome” (PMS)]有關。但是，有其他的可能原因，諸如性傳播疾病、膀胱有炎症(cystitis，膀胱炎)或腎臟、子宮、輸卵管或卵巢有毛病，都可能是下腹部疼痛的原因。下腹部疼痛起源於消化道(胃、腸)也是可能的原因。在某些病例，下腹部疼痛劇烈，因而容易識別，在另一些病例，疼痛隱隱約約，因而難以定位。不過，忽然發生下腹部劇烈的疼痛，應該立即尋求醫學幫助，為的是排除可能嚴重的危險病症。
無論如何，對每一個婦女來說，熟悉自己的性器官和月經週期模式只會是有用的。她們也應該瞭解性傳播疾病的可能症狀。依據這樣的知識基礎，她們更有主見決定什麼時候去看醫生並怎樣協助醫生作出正確的診斷。 |

Lower Abdominal Pain
|
Many women feel some pain in the lower abdomen from time to time, especially before or during their menstrual periods. This may very well be related to the
premenstrual syndrome (PMS). However, there are other possible causes, such as a sexually transmitted infection, an inflammation of the bladder (cystitis) or a problem with the kidneys, the uterus, the Fallopian tubes, or the ovaries. It is also possible that the pain originates from the digestive tract (stomach, bowels). In some cases, the pain is sharp and easy to identify, in other cases it is unspecific and hard to locate. However, a sudden, severe lower abdominal pain should prompt any woman to seek medical help, if only to rule out a serious, possibly dangerous condition.
In any case, it is useful for all women to be familiar with their own sex organs and menstruation pattern. They should also know the possible symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). On this basis, they can more easily decide when to see a doctor and how to assist in a correct diagnosis. |
