Why does lower abdominal pain occur during ovulation?

Lower abdominal pain during ovulation may be caused by tissue rupture and uterine contractions due to pressure as the egg is released from the ovary. This phenomenon is called "egg rupture." When an egg ruptures, abdominal pain may persist for 30 seconds and then go away.

This abdominal pain may be uncomfortable, but it is usually mild and does not pose a major health concern. However, if the abdominal pain is very severe, lasts for a long time, or is accompanied by other symptoms, such as diarrhea, vomiting, fever, etc., you should seek medical attention immediately, as this may be a sign of infection.

In addition to egg rupture, lower abdominal pain during ovulation can be caused by other reasons. For example, some women may experience light vaginal bleeding during ovulation, which is caused by estrogen binding to the egg. In this case, abdominal pain may occur for a few days after the bleeding ends.
