If the girl is he althy, the procedure of urination (deurination) does not bring her discomfort and does not cause pain. But in case of infection of the urethra, bladder, genitals, kidneys or ureters, discomfort may appear. Let's talk further about what to do with frequent urination and pain in the lower abdomen in women.
Difference between men and women
In a normal state of he alth, all urination is performed by a person without much difficulty. However, if pulling or cutting pains in the lower abdomen are felt at one of the stages of emptying the bladder, it means that one or a couple of inflammatory sources have arisen in the body. Dysuria - a violation of the course of urine separation, belongs to pathologies that have a need for differential diagnosis.
Despite the similarity of symptoms, the causes of pain are different in men and women due to the difference in the anatomical structure of the urethra. Urine that originates in the kidney structures travels through the ureters to the bladder. Stretching its walls indicates readiness foremptying. A person is able to limit urination with the assistance of impulses sent to the central nervous system. The opposite result leads to sphincter tension - bladder release is delayed.
The abdominal muscles are ready to adjust the procedure by tensing or relaxing during urination. The appearance of pain in this area directly indicates a violation of the activity of the organs located behind the abdominal wall. The urethra in women is somewhat shorter and wider than in men, for this reason the woman suffers more from infectious diseases.
Pathogenic bacteria easily enter the vagina and urethra, and then into the kidneys. Rapidly multiplying, they secrete toxic elements in the course of their own life, which become the basis of inflammation and pain.
