Pain in chest and abdomen

Every woman was faced with the fact that her chest hurts and her stomach aches. The reasons for this combination of symptoms are few.

Pain during menstruation

Drawing pains in the lower abdomen senses with the onset of monthly bleeding almost every woman. Quite often they are joined and painful sensations in the mammary glands. A similar pathology is called algomenorrhea.

Additional signs - in addition to the fact that the chest hurts and pulls the lower abdomen - become:

• general malaise;
• attacks of nausea;
• indigestion disorder;
• increased body temperature( relatively rare).

The causes of primary algomenorrhea - when pulling the stomach and hurting the chest - are covered in poor blood flow: the uterine mucosa has insufficient blood supply. This can contribute to stressful situations, gynecological pathologies and physical overwork.

But if the tenderness in the chest develops before the menstruation, the pain in the lower abdomen occurs during the first day, simultaneously with the onset of bleeding. In some cases, the painful syndrome persists only in the first day, but sometimes it persists up to 3 days.

As a rule, pain with primary algomenorrhea persists until the onset of gestational development. Pregnancy and subsequent birth in most cases help a woman get rid of painful sensations. But if the painful spasms developed before the beginning of bleeding, then there is a possibility that this symptom will persist at the beginning of menopause.

Simultaneously, the stomach and chest ache during menstruation

Breast can not only hurt. Sometimes it turns out that it is swollen and becomes more sensitive, especially the nipples. This condition is due to an increase in the blood level of progesterone. Soreness in the mammary glands will pass independently on the second - the third day of a month's bleeding.

Secondary algomenorrhea is a complication of certain diseases of the genitourinary system, in particular, it can cause cancer of the body of the uterus. Treatment of pathology is carried out after diagnosis.

Women who suffer from pain in the lower abdomen and in the chest are recommended to follow the principles of dietary nutrition. The diet contains a reduced content of fats and sugars. In addition, all alcohol( even light) and caffeinated beverages are completely excluded.

Pregnancy

The reason for the pain of the chest and lower abdomen is the onset of pregnancy. The yield of a mature egg is approximately in the middle of the menstrual cycle. If fertilization has occurred, then it is on the fallopian tubes moving into the uterine cavity - the path takes about a week - and there it is fixed in its mucosa.

It is from the moment of implantation that the development of pregnancy begins. Confirm pregnancy at home can only after delay in menstruation. If you make a test earlier, it will be negative. Pain in the abdomen at the beginning of gestation development is considered an acceptable norm.

At the woman from the moment of implantation of an ovum the first symptoms of pregnancy appear:

• Breasts hurt and become more sensitive. The reason is an increase in the hormone prolactin. Thus, the body is preparing for the process of breastfeeding. Later, after the birth of the child, at the beginning of breastfeeding, the breast will increase significantly in size.
• Nausea. The future mother is sick, there are reactions to smells - develops toxicosis.
• Back and back aches. This is also an acceptable physiological norm, but if the lumbar region was not too strong and there were no spotting. In the latter case, the probability of developing spontaneous abortion is high.
• Frequent urination. As a rule, this sign of pregnancy appears after confirmation of pregnancy and is caused by an actively growing uterus. She during these few weeks from the beginning of pregnancy has greatly increased in size and presses on the bladder, forcing a woman to discharge the bladder more often.
• Increased temperature. About the onset of pregnancy, a woman will be informed of an increase in basal temperature. But the general body temperature can not be ruled out, which is explained by the current hormonal reorganization. The body actively produces hormone progesterone, necessary for maintaining pregnancy.

Light abdominal pain with simultaneous chest pain may indicate pregnancy development
