What causes back pain after ovulation?

Getting married and having children is every woman's dream. When a woman enters into marriage, she has the hope of getting pregnant and having a child. But as some things don't go as planned, not every woman can successfully become pregnant and give birth. Many female friends will learn about what methods can help them get pregnant before planning to get pregnant. Some women find out the reason for their lower back pain after ovulation when they are looking for their ovulation period.

During ovulation, you may feel cramps or menstrual-like pain in your lower abdomen as the egg is released from the ovary.

2. What are the symptoms of ovulation?

1. Changes in basal body temperature: During a menstrual cycle, the basal body temperature of normal women of childbearing age is lower before ovulation and rises after ovulation. Generally, the temperature difference between the two can reach about 0.5℃, showing a typical biphasic body temperature curve. This body temperature curve indicates that the ovaries have ovulation function, and the junction of the high and low body temperature curves is the ovulation date of the ovaries.

2. Cervix and cervical mucus: During the ovulation cycle, the cervix is ​​affected by estrogen and progesterone, causing changes in secretion and opening and closing. As the follicles develop, the secretion of estrogen increases, the cervix relaxes and opens, the amount of mucus increases, the viscosity is minimal, it is clear and transparent like egg white, and the tension (stringiness) gradually increases; after ovulation, under the influence of progesterone, the amount of mucus secretion rapidly decreases and thickens, and the cervix closes.

3. Ovulation pain: This is a symptom of ovulation. About 1/3 of women experience ovulation pain. The pain occurs in the lower abdomen on the side of ovulation. It is severe pain or continuous dull pain and lasts for 6-12 hours. During ovulation, due to the increase of prostaglandins in the body, the pressure in the follicular fluid cavity increases, and the surface of the ovary will rupture to release the egg. This rupture process can cause lower abdominal pain in some sensitive women.

4. Ovulation bleeding: It is a symptom after ovulation, usually lasting for 2-3 days. The amount of bleeding is not much, and sometimes it only manifests as slightly red leucorrhea. Ovulation bleeding may be caused by the fact that after the mature follicle ruptures and ovulates, the estrogen level drops sharply, unable to maintain normal endometrial growth, causing local shedding of the surface layer of the endometrium, resulting in breakthrough bleeding. Bleeding may be accompanied by pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen, which generally does not require treatment.

During the ovulation period, women will feel energetic. Of course, this is also a natural instinct inherited from humans. Fundamentally speaking, this is to successfully attract the opposite sex. Therefore, women in the ovulation period will take better care of themselves and be in high spirits.

You may feel a loss of appetite during the ovulation period. Scientific research shows that women's food intake during this period is the lowest in a menstrual cycle. It is said that this is the result of the retention of human natural instincts. That is to say, during this period, female animals will focus more on finding the opposite sex for mating, rather than looking for food. However, for your health, you should still pay attention to normal nutritional intake and avoid excessive restraint.

Women's ovulation period can be calculated. When you find yourself in your ovulation period, you should pay more attention to taking care of your body and mind and be sure to maintain a good mood.
