Symptom #8: Lower Abdominal Discomfort
The abdomen can be divided into 9 regions: right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, left lumbar, umbilical, right lumbar, right iliac, suprapubic, and left iliac regions. The different regions of the abdomen can aid in the diagnosis of abdominal pain or discomfort. Lower abdominal discomfort refers to the right iliac, suprapubic, and left iliac regions.
Some common causes are menstrual cramps, diverticulitis, gas, inflammatory bowel disease, constipation, and hernia. Based on a study published in 2011, women with pelvic organ prolapse (such as uterine prolapse) were more likely to experience lower abdominal pain that interfered with their daily routines.
