Why does the pain in the uterus get relieved after farting?

Relief of uterine swelling and pain after farting may be related to gastrointestinal disorders, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, irritable bowel syndrome, ovarian cysts and other factors.

1. Gastrointestinal dysfunction

Abnormal gastrointestinal motility may lead to gas retention and lower abdominal distension and pain. After passing gas, the pressure in the intestines is reduced and the pain is relieved. This kind of situation is usually related to improper diet and mental stress. It is recommended to adjust the diet structure and reduce the intake of gas-producing foods such as beans.

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammation may irritate peripheral nerves, causing radiating pain. As intestinal gas is expelled, abdominal pressure changes may temporarily relieve inflammatory tissue compression. Patients may have abnormal secretions and need to use ceftriaxone sodium for injection, metronidazole sodium chloride injection and other drugs for anti-infective treatment as directed by the doctor.

3. Endometriosis

Ectopic endometrial tissue may be attached to the rectouterine pit, and the congestion and swelling of the lesion may compress the rectum during menstruation. Intestinal peristalsis during flatulence may temporarily relieve this feeling of pressure. Patients are often accompanied by progressive dysmenorrhea and may consider using dienogest tablets, ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and other drugs to control symptoms.

4. Irritable bowel syndrome

Increased intestinal sensitivity may cause spasmodic pain, and a decrease in intestinal tone after passing gas may improve symptoms. This situation is mostly related to mental factors. You can try Bifidobacterium triple live bacteria capsules in conjunction with psychological counseling, and record a food diary to investigate the triggers.

5. Ovarian cysts

Larger cysts may compress nearby organs and temporarily change the relative position of the organs when the intestines are deflated, thereby relieving symptoms of compression. It is recommended to review gynecological ultrasound regularly. If the cyst continues to enlarge or twists, laparoscopic surgical resection should be considered.

On a daily basis, you should keep your abdomen warm, avoid sitting for long periods of time which may oppress the pelvic cavity, and maintain moderate exercise to promote gastrointestinal motility. Adopt the principle of small meals with frequent meals and limit the intake of carbonated drinks. If pain occurs frequently or is accompanied by symptoms such as abnormal menstruation or changes in bowel habits, it is recommended to see a gynecologist and gastroenterologist as soon as possible for joint investigation. Recording the onset, duration, and alleviating factors of pain can help doctors accurately determine the cause.
