Why do I have abdominal pain during ovulation?

Women's body structure is quite special, and their reproductive system is more complicated than that of men. Take eggs for example. Although their number is much smaller than that of sperm, without eggs, sperm are basically desperate and cannot produce fertilized eggs. Every month, the female body releases some eggs, and this period of time is also called ovulation. So, why does abdominal pain occur during ovulation?

1. What causes abdominal pain during ovulation?

Because each individual is different, the follicular fluid discharged when a woman ovulates is fundamentally different. The follicular fluid that enters the pelvic cavity will be stimulated, which will cause abdominal pain. The specific introduction is as follows:

For some women, the period between two menstrual periods is just before ovulation. There will be a feeling of pain in the lower abdomen, which is also called middle pain. Scientific research shows that 97% of people have had this experience, which means they may be in the process of ovulation.

There is also something called ovulation disorder, which is one of the causes of female infertility. About 25-30% of people experience this pain. In addition to causing infertility, ovulation disorders can also lead to obvious symptoms such as menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity. If ovulation does not occur for a long time, it will lead to disorder of sex hormone metabolism, which will cause excessive proliferation of endometrium and lead to proliferation of endometrial cancer or breast cancer.

In teenage girls or women of childbearing age or between menstruation periods, it is equivalent to ovulation pain. If a person's larger blood vessels rupture and bleed during ovulation, it may cause massive bleeding in the abdominal cavity and severe abdominal pain. If no other causes are found in the hospital and it is just ovulation abdominal pain, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. There is no need to panic or worry about this. As women get older, most of them will gradually adapt. Just make sure to rest during the ovulation period and avoid strenuous activities.

2. What are the symptoms of ovulation?

Many female friends will start to pay attention to the ovulation period when they plan to have a child. Therefore, it is very important to understand the symptoms of ovulation in time. The following is a detailed introduction to the symptoms of ovulation. You may wish to take a look.

1. Decreased appetite

During the ovulation period, women's appetite will decrease. Studies have shown that the ovulation period is the period in the menstrual cycle when women eat the least. This is because the influence of hormones in the body causes female animals in the ovulation period to focus more on finding the opposite sex for mating and less on finding food.

2. Ovulation pain

There is "menstrual pain" during menstruation and "ovulation pain" during ovulation. Some women will experience mild pain on one side of the lower abdomen about 14 days before the menstrual cycle. Sometimes it is just a vague discomfort, but in a very small number of women, the pain is very obvious. This pain is called "ovulation pain". Usually the pain lasts for 1 to 2 days and then disappears. This pain is also one of the symptoms of female ovulation.

3. Increased body temperature

During ovulation, women's body temperature will be higher than usual. However, if the basal body temperature is measured, the temperature change during ovulation is not obvious, generally fluctuating around 0.5 degrees Celsius. In addition, body temperature is greatly affected by the outside world. If you do not rely on a thermometer and do not measure body temperature over a long period of time, you generally cannot detect changes in body temperature.

4. More energetic

Being energetic is one of the symptoms of a woman's ovulation period. This is also a natural instinct inherited from humans. In order to successfully attract the opposite sex, women will be more energetic and want to express themselves more to attract the opposite sex.

5. Increased leucorrhea

Leucorrhea is the vaginal discharge of women during the ovulation period. During the ovulation period, women will have symptoms of increased leucorrhea. Generally, the leucorrhea of ​​women during ovulation has no odor under normal circumstances. It is a slightly acidic viscous substance that has the functions of moistening the vagina, excreting waste, and inhibiting the growth of pathogens. It is a normal physiological phenomenon.

6. Increased sexual desire

The ovulation period means that ovulation occurs. At this time, women's sexual desire will appear to be stronger, and the chance of pregnancy during the ovulation period is relatively high. Therefore, if a woman wants to get pregnant, the symptom of increased sexual desire is particularly obvious during the ovulation period.

7. Decreased immunity

Women's resistance will decrease during ovulation, so they should pay attention to preventing bacterial infection. During ovulation, a woman's vaginal mucus becomes thinner, allowing sperm to pass more easily and increasing the chances of successful conception. At the same time, a woman's nasal mucus also decreases, increasing the chances of bacteria invading the human circulatory system.

8. Bleeding

During ovulation, some women may experience vaginal bleeding. This is because the estrogen level in the body drops temporarily, causing the endometrium to lose hormonal support and partial shedding of the endometrium, leading to regular vaginal bleeding, also known as ovulation bleeding. If the amount of bleeding is light and lasts less than 7 days, it is a normal physiological symptom.
