Pain on the right side of the abdomen during ovulation

For those who are preparing for pregnancy, the ovulation period is very important. If you have sex during the ovulation period, the chance of pregnancy is higher than usual. In fact, if you want to know whether you have ovulated, you can actually judge through some symptoms. However, some women will experience lower abdominal pain during the ovulation period, and some people will have an increase in vaginal discharge or a small amount of vaginal discharge. These are actually normal.

What causes abdominal pain during ovulation?

Abdominal pain caused by ovulation is called ovulation abdominal pain. As the follicles develop and mature, their volume continues to increase, the amount of follicular fluid increases, and they gradually move to the surface of the ovary, protruding from the ovarian capsule. When the egg cell is fully developed and mature, the follicle membrane and ovarian capsule will dissolve and rupture, and the egg cell will be slowly squeezed out. This is ovulation. During ovulation, the follicles and the fluid inside the follicles overflow into the abdominal cavity, stimulating the peritoneum and causing abdominal pain. This is ovulation abdominal pain.

Unilateral abdominal pain and ovulation bleeding during ovulation are normal physiological phenomena. Generally, this abdominal pain will disappear after 2-3 days. You should pay attention to keeping warm, but if the abdominal pain worsens further, gynecological inflammation needs to be considered.

What to do if you have abdominal pain during ovulation

Generally speaking, the abdominal pain during ovulation is mild and will heal on its own in a day or two without treatment. It will not affect future marriage and childbearing, so don't worry. Generally, no treatment is required. You can pay attention to proper rest and avoid strenuous physical labor and sports activities. If the pain is severe, you can take painkillers.

How many days does a woman ovulate?

The most common algorithm for calculating a woman's ovulation period is: 14 days before a woman's next menstrual period, which is also called the ovulation day. 4 days before ovulation and 5 days after ovulation add up to a total of ten days. In other words, a woman's ovulation period is generally 10 days. This is a more commonly used algorithm. There is another algorithm that is suitable for women with irregular menstrual periods. The menstrual cycle is unstable, and the formula for calculating the ovulation period is: the first day of ovulation = the number of days in the shortest menstrual cycle minus 18 days; the last day of ovulation = the number of days in the longest menstrual cycle minus 11 days.

If a woman's egg is not released, conception is impossible even if there are more sperm. Therefore, it is more meaningful to start counting from the moment the egg is released. Generally, the survival time of female eggs can reach up to 72 hours, or 3 days, which is a very long survival time. The shortest survival time of an egg is generally 12 hours, or 0.5 days. The normal survival time of an egg is about 24 to 28 hours.

Secondly, we need to know how long male sperm can survive in the female body. After male sperm is discharged from the body, it can generally survive in the body for about 3 days. The longest record is 5 days, and the shortest is generally about 1 day. Because the number of sperm is relatively large, there is no need to be very strict about pursuing the longest and shortest sperm ejaculation time. In other words, the effective pregnancy time range for women is: (0.5 days < effective ovulation period < 8 days).
