What are the causes and relief methods of lower abdominal pain during ovulation?

Since ovulation is an important physiological characteristic of women and a necessary step for mothers before becoming pregnant, ovulation should be an issue that we should pay attention to. All female friends will definitely encounter this problem in life: bloating or pain in the lower abdomen during ovulation. Some women even feel so much pain that they can't even stand up, but some women just feel a slight bloating pain. This phenomenon has caused many female friends to not understand whether the pain in the lower abdomen during ovulation is a gynecological disease or a normal physiological phenomenon. So today we will take a look at why the lower abdomen will swell and ache during ovulation and how to relieve the pain.

1: What is the reason for lower left abdominal pain during ovulation?

Ovulation abdominal pain is a functional abdominal pain, which is a normal phenomenon and will not cause any pathological disease. The pain often occurs in the middle of two menstrual cycles. For example, for women with a 28-day menstrual cycle, abdominal pain usually occurs about 14 days before the next menstruation, which is equivalent to the ovulation period, hence the name. Abdominal pain is often in the lower abdomen on one side. The pain is not severe and is dull, lacking or distending. It is often not a concern for women and does not cause serious harm. This pain lasts about half a day to a day and then subsides on its own. Therefore, women often don’t care about it. Even if they know they have abdominal pain, they will just endure it and it will pass. Ovulation abdominal pain is a physiological abdominal pain, similar to female primary dysmenorrhea. The difference is that this pain is caused by the rupture of the ovarian follicles during ovulation and the stimulation of the peritoneum by the follicular fluid after ovulation. Therefore, the abdominal pain is relatively mild. Primary menstrual cramps are caused by the contraction of the endometrium when it is shedding. Normally, the two ovaries in a woman's body ovulate in turn, once a month, so abdominal pain also occurs cyclically once a month, often with pain alternating between the left and right lower abdomen.

When patients with ovulation abdominal pain go to the hospital for treatment, general gynecological examinations are completely normal. There are no pathological changes. As women age and the number of ovulations accumulates, many people will gradually adapt. The causes of abdominal pain are varied and vary greatly, ranging from intestinal spasms after eating cold food to malignant tumors of the digestive system. Therefore, the identification of abdominal pain requires careful examination and exclusion.

2. Mitigation methods

1. Strengthen rest

The specific situation of abdominal pain during ovulation varies from person to person. Not all women will experience obvious pain. It can usually be relieved and disappear on its own. Generally, excessive treatment is not required, but female friends should pay attention to proper rest and avoid high-intensity physical and mental activities.

2. Keep warm

During the ovulation period, just like during the menstrual period, women's immunity will also decrease, so they should pay special attention to keeping warm, eat less raw and cold food, and pay attention to keeping the waist, abdomen, and lower limbs warm to avoid coldness from the feet. Catching a cold can aggravate abdominal pain and affect normal ovulation.
