What causes pain in the left lower abdomen during ovulation?

Nowadays, many people always calculate when their ovulation period is, which increases the chance of pregnancy. However, there are often some conditions, one of which is that some women will experience pain in the left lower abdomen during ovulation. This makes many women wonder what is going on, so they want to know what is going on in the left lower abdomen during ovulation? Let the editor introduce it to you below.

During a woman's menstrual cycle, only one egg will develop into a mature egg. 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. 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.

1. Decreased appetite: Studies have shown that women eat the least during their ovulation period. Experts point out that this is the result of human natural instincts that have been preserved to this day - female animals during ovulation will focus more on finding the opposite sex for mating rather than finding food.

2. Energetic: This is also a natural instinct inherited from humans. In order to successfully attract the opposite sex, women during ovulation will become energetic and love to express themselves.

3. Increased sexual desire: Generally speaking, women’s sexual desire is particularly strong during their ovulation period, which is a reflection of the fact that women’s body signals that they want to get pregnant have reached their highest level.

4. Decreased resistance: During ovulation, women’s vaginal mucus becomes thinner, allowing sperm to pass more easily and increasing the chances of successful conception. At the same time, women’s nasal mucus also decreases, which increases the chances of bacteria invading the human circulatory system.

5. Anal distension or pain in one side of the lower abdomen: The mature egg is discharged from the surface of the ovary and breaks through the follicle that wraps the surface of the egg. A small amount of fluid in the follicle will flow into the lowest part of the pelvic cavity. Women will feel a slight feeling of anal distension and slight pain in one side of the lower abdomen.

6. Increased vaginal secretions: Before ovulation, women have less vaginal secretions, which are sticky and opaque. As ovulation approaches, vaginal secretions gradually increase and become thin and milky white. During ovulation, the amount of secretions increases significantly and becomes watery, transparent and clear. Women will feel their vulva is wet and slippery, and when they wipe it with toilet paper, there will be egg white-like strips of mucus. This increase in vaginal secretions in women usually lasts for 2-3 days, which is the time when women are most likely to conceive.

7. Ovulation bleeding and temperature rise: The ovaries are responsible for the secretion of female endocrine hormones. Therefore, the fluctuation of estrogen secretion in the body before and after ovulation may cause a small amount of uterine bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. After ovulation, due to the secretion of progesterone, the body temperature will rise slightly. If you can measure your basal body temperature every morning, you can find out your ovulation date based on the changes in body temperature.
