What causes ovulation pain?

The problem of ovulation pain is a situation that women are prone to, but don't worry or be anxious when it happens, because if ovulation is normal and there are no other diseases in the body, this is also a normal phenomenon.

1. During a woman's menstrual cycle, only one egg will mature. During the development of the egg cell, not only does the size of the follicle increase and the amount of follicular fluid increase, but the follicle also gradually moves to the surface of the ovary and protrudes from the ovarian capsule. When the egg cell is fully developed and mature, the ovarian capsule will dissolve and rupture, the follicular fluid will be discharged, and the egg will be slowly squeezed out of the ovary. This is ovulation.

2. Due to individual differences, the amount of follicular fluid discharged when each person's follicle ruptures is not exactly the same. If the follicular fluid is discharged in excess, after entering the pelvic cavity, it will stimulate the pelvic membrane and cause abdominal pain. This is the cause of the abdominal pain. Some people experience abdominal pain along with other symptoms such as lower back pain on the same side and soreness and discomfort in the lumbar region. If the ovaries on both sides ovulate alternately, abdominal pain will occur alternately on both sides of the lower abdomen every month.

3. A small number of women may also experience ovulation bleeding. This is because the follicle ruptures and the estrogen level temporarily drops after ovulation, which cannot maintain the normal growth of the endometrium and causes endometrial damage. The bleeding time is generally about two weeks before the next menstrual period, and can be as short as a few hours or as long as no more than 2 days. The amount of bleeding is small, and most of the time it is leucorrhea turning red, and rarely reaches the amount of menstruation. 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 any other discomfort, you can pay attention to proper rest and no treatment is needed. If the abdominal pain is severe, you can take painkillers temporarily. 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 vagina clean. If the bleeding is heavy, seek medical attention immediately.
