Will my breasts swell during ovulation?

Western medicine believes that it can be regarded as a manifestation of female endocrine disorders, which is closely related to high estrogen and low progesterone. During ovulation, estrogen levels rise, and the female mammary ducts become congested and dilated, causing interstitial edema of the breast, which results in breast tenderness during ovulation.

What does ovulation feel like?

1. Increased body temperature. During the ovulation period, a woman's body temperature will be higher than before, but because the body temperature is greatly affected by the outside world, if you do not rely on a thermometer and do not measure the body temperature over a long period of time, you generally cannot detect the changes in body temperature.

2. Anal distension or pain in one side of the lower abdomen. When a mature egg is discharged from the surface of the ovary, it will break through a thin membrane follicle on the surface of the egg. A small amount of fluid in the follicle will flow into the pelvic cavity. Women will feel a slight feeling of falling in the anus and slight pain in one side of the lower abdomen.

3. Bleeding during ovulation. Due to the fluctuation of estrogen secretion in the body before and after ovulation, a small amount of uterine bleeding may occur.

4. Increased vaginal discharge. During ovulation, the amount of secretions increases significantly and becomes watery, transparent and clear. Women will feel their vulva is moist and slippery, and the secretions are very stringy. This increase in vaginal secretions usually lasts for 2 to 3 days, which is the time when women are most likely to get pregnant.

The ovulation period is the time in a woman's menstrual cycle when it is easiest to get pregnant, so everyone must grasp it accurately. We have introduced the characteristics of the ovulation period above, and you should have a certain understanding after reading it. In fact, breast pain during ovulation may be a precursor to some diseases. If you encounter this situation, it is best to go to the hospital for some examinations.
