What causes ovulation pain? Causes of ovulation pain

Generally speaking, women will ovulate once in the middle of two menstrual cycles. This time is called the ovulation period of women. If you have sex, you are very likely to get pregnant. Many women experience stringy vaginal discharge during ovulation, but some women also experience ovulation pain. What is going on?

What causes ovulation pain?

1. Due to individual differences, the amount of follicular fluid discharged when the follicles rupture is not exactly the same for each person. For those with more follicular fluid, after the follicular fluid enters the pelvic cavity, it will stimulate the pelvic membrane and cause abdominal pain, which is the cause of abdominal pain. Some people also have symptoms such as ipsilateral low back pain, lumbar pain and discomfort while having abdominal pain. If both ovaries ovulate in turn, abdominal pain will occur in both sides of the lower abdomen every month.

2. A small number of women may also experience ovulation bleeding. This is because the follicle ruptures and the estrogen level temporarily drops after ovulation, which cannot maintain the normal growth of the endometrium and causes endometrial damage. The bleeding time is generally about two weeks before the next menstruation, ranging from a few hours to no more than 2 days. The amount of bleeding is small, and most of the time it is leucorrhea turning red, and rarely reaches the amount of menstruation.

3. Ovulation abdominal pain is a physiological phenomenon that does not affect health or future marriage and childbearing. If it only occurs occasionally and the pain is mild without other discomfort, you can take a proper rest and no treatment is necessary.

4. If the abdominal pain is severe, you can temporarily take painkillers. If it occurs regularly every month, you can take short-acting contraceptives for a period of time under the guidance of a doctor to improve the symptoms. For those who have bleeding symptoms during ovulation, a small amount of bleeding is not harmful to health and does not require treatment. Just keep the genitals clean. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, you should seek medical attention in time.

5. The mature egg needs to break through the thin membrane follicle that wraps the surface of the egg in order to be discharged from the surface of the ovary. When the egg is discharged, a small amount of fluid in the follicle will flow into the lowest part of the pelvic cavity. Sometimes there is a small amount of bleeding from the site where the egg is released from the ovary. Therefore, some women may feel a slight feeling of falling in the anus, and may also feel slight pain in one side of the lower abdomen. If you pay close attention, the same symptoms will appear in the other lower abdomen next month. These painful symptoms of female ovulation will disappear after about a few hours.
