Explanation

A heavy feeling at the bottom of your stomach can have different causes. It might be related to problems in the lower abdomen or pelvic area. For example, some women experience this feeling due to changes or conditions in the pelvic region, as discussed in Reference 1.

In post-menopausal women, Reference 2 suggests that abdominal pain can occur due to changes in the body after menopause. This can sometimes feel like a heavy sensation.

Additionally, Reference 3 explains that women who have had a cesarean delivery might feel persistent abdominal pain even years after the surgery. This can also contribute to a heavy feeling in the lower stomach.

If you are experiencing this sensation, it is important to talk to a healthcare provider to determine the cause and get appropriate care.
