Lower Abdomen Pain in Women: Causes & Treatment in Bhopal

Lower abdomen pain in women can have several causes: Menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhoea) are the most common cause in young women. PCOD/PCOS causes irregular periods with lower abdominal pain and hormonal imbalance. Ovarian cysts can cause sharp, one-sided pain. Urinary tract infection (UTI) causes burning urination with lower abdominal pain. Ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus) causes severe one-sided pain with vaginal bleeding. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) from infections. Endometriosis and fibroids. At R.K. Hospital, our gynaecologists Dr. Veena Pandey and Dr. Pooja Bansal thoroughly evaluate each patient.

Consult a gynaecologist at R.K. Hospital if you have: pain that is severe or getting worse over time, pain with missed periods or abnormal vaginal bleeding, pain with fever or foul-smelling vaginal discharge, pain with burning urination or blood in urine, pain during or after sexual intercourse, lower abdominal pain with dizziness or fainting (possible ectopic pregnancy emergency), or pain that does not improve with over-the-counter painkillers. Early diagnosis prevents complications. Call 0755-4260605 for an appointment.

Yes, PCOD/PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Disease/Syndrome) is very common, affecting approximately 1 in 5 women of reproductive age in India. Symptoms include irregular periods, weight gain, acne, excess facial hair, and difficulty getting pregnant. At R.K. Hospital, our gynaecologists Dr. Veena Pandey (MBBS, DGO) and Dr. Pooja Bansal (MBBS, MS) provide comprehensive PCOD management including: hormonal blood tests and ultrasonography for diagnosis, lifestyle counselling, medications for cycle regularisation, and treatment for associated symptoms. Early management prevents long-term complications like diabetes and infertility.

Most ovarian cysts are functional (formed during the normal menstrual cycle) and resolve on their own within 1-3 months. However, some cysts can be dangerous: large cysts (more than 5-6 cm) can rupture causing sudden severe pain and internal bleeding, ovarian torsion (the cyst twists the ovary) cuts off blood supply and is a surgical emergency, and rarely, complex cysts may be pre-cancerous. If you have sudden severe one-sided pelvic pain with nausea, visit R.K. Hospital emergency immediately. Ultrasonography (available on-site) helps evaluate cyst size and type.
