Ovulatory pain is a common phenomenon for many women, which is manifested in the form of pulling or sharp pain in the lower abdomen about the middle of the menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This discomfort, which doctors call Mittelstand, usually occurs around the 14th day of the cycle and can last from several hours to several days. A feeling of heaviness often accompanies it; sometimes, there may be a slight discharge, and in some cases, nausea or dizziness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pain is usually localized on one side, depending on which ovary works in this cycle. The cause of this phenomenon is the rupture of the follicle in the ovary, which releases the egg together with a small amount of fluid or blood, which can irritate the surrounding tissues. Additional contractions of the fallopian tubes also contribute to an uncomfortable sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, sometimes such pain can be a sign of more serious problems such as endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, cysts, infections (such as chlamydia or gonorrhea), or even ectopic pregnancy. In such cases, the pain can be acute and prolonged, and can be accompanied by fever, unusual discharge, or severe weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is recommended that you consult a gynecologist to make sure that everything is okay. The doctor will conduct an examination, collect anamnesis, and perform an ultrasound to exclude dangerous conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In most cases, you can reduce pain with simple methods – a warm hot water bottle, a bath, or painkillers such as ibuprofen or naproxen. If the pain becomes frequent or very pronounced, the doctor may offer oral contraceptives to control ovulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be sure to consult a specialist if the pain does not pass for 1-2 days, is exacerbated, or accompanied by fever, nausea, or strange discharge. The experience and knowledge of your own body is essential for maintaining health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before making any medical decisions, always consult your doctor, as treatment can have an individual approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
