Causes of lower abdominal pain during ovulation

It is normal to have lower abdominal pain during ovulation. It is mainly because of the contraction of smooth muscles during ovulation, the peristalsis of the fallopian tube after the egg is released, etc., which cause women to have lower abdominal pain. For lower abdominal pain during ovulation, as long as there is no heavy bleeding, it generally does not require treatment and will recover automatically after a period of time. Female friends do not need to worry too much.

Ovulation usually occurs between two menstrual periods. Ovulation occurs as the follicle develops and matures. The follicle gradually migrates to the surface of the ovary and protrudes outward. When the follicle approaches the surface of the ovary, the surface cells become thinner and finally rupture, resulting in ovulation. The discharge of the egg cell is not an expulsion process, but the egg cell is discharged only after most of the follicular fluid has flowed out.

The contraction of smooth muscle fibers will cause you to feel stomach pain, and after the egg is released, it will also cause peristalsis of the fallopian tube. Ovulation is a normal physiological phenomenon. Due to individual differences, some people can feel it, some do not feel any discomfort, and some may feel lower abdominal pain. No treatment is required and the pain can be relieved on its own.

Due to individual differences, the amount of follicular fluid discharged when the follicle ruptures is not exactly the same for each person. If more follicular fluid is discharged, after the follicular fluid enters the pelvic cavity, it will stimulate the pelvic membrane and cause abdominal pain. This is the cause of the abdominal pain. Some people have abdominal pain accompanied by symptoms such as lower back pain on the same side, soreness and discomfort in the lumbosacral region. If the ovaries on both sides ovulate in turn, abdominal pain will occur on both sides of the lower abdomen alternately every month.

Ovulation abdominal pain is a physiological phenomenon that does not affect health or future marriage and childbearing. If it only occurs occasionally and the pain is mild without other discomfort, you can pay attention to proper rest and no treatment is needed. If the abdominal pain is severe, you can temporarily take painkillers. If it occurs regularly every month, you can take short-acting contraceptives for a period of time under the guidance of a doctor to improve the symptoms. For those who have bleeding symptoms during ovulation, a small amount of bleeding is not harmful to health and does not require treatment. Just keep the genitals clean. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, you should seek medical attention in time.

As for the lower abdominal pain that occurs during ovulation, as long as female friends have a certain understanding of its causes, you will know that lower abdominal pain is normal in life. Since everyone's physical constitution is different and the amount of fluid in the follicles is also different, the pain will be different, so female friends don't need to worry too much.
