Swelling of the labia majora during ovulation

Ovulation refers to the time when a woman's eggs are released from the ovaries into the fallopian tubes, usually between the 14th and 16th days of the menstrual cycle. During this process, a woman's body temperature increases and her hormone levels change, causing the labia majora to expand and swell.

The feeling of labia majora swelling may be subtle and you may not notice it. However, you may feel some discomfort or pain when you notice it. This feeling is usually mild, but if it's severe or lasts longer, you may want to talk to your doctor.

The main reason some people may experience labia majora swelling is due to changes in hormonal levels. During ovulation, a woman's estrogen and ketone levels increase, causing the labia majora to swell. In addition, as the menstrual cycle approaches, hormone levels in women are constantly changing, which may lead to different physiological responses.
