Causes of left lower abdominal pain after ovulation

In daily life, many female friends have to increase their workload during the day and take care of their own lives at night. Under long-term pressure, they feel physically exhausted. At this time, many female friends will experience pain in the lower left abdomen after ovulation. What is the reason for this phenomenon?

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 cause of the rupture of mature follicles is still unclear. It is currently believed that there are some protein-dissolving enzymes, amylases, collagen-dissolving enzymes, etc. in the follicles. These enzymes can dissolve the follicle wall while maintaining the pressure in the follicular cavity unchanged. Some scholars also believe that under the action of gonadotropins, especially luteinizing hormone, mature follicles can secrete prostaglandins, which can cause the smooth muscle fibers in the interstitium surrounding the mature follicles to contract, causing the follicle to rupture. 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.

First of all, friends, you should pay more attention to your physical health in your daily life, rest during the ovulation period, remember not to have sex, etc. These will harm your body and damage your uterus, which will affect the pain in the lower left abdomen.
