Is it normal for the belly to drop during ovulation?

Under normal circumstances, it is common to feel a sinking feeling in the stomach during ovulation. It may be caused by uterine contractions that increase pressure under the abdomen as the fertilized egg implants in the uterus. This symptom usually disappears a few days after ovulation, but may last for a few days.

However, some people may experience this symptom too frequently or severely. If you experience this symptom frequently and it interferes with your daily life, you may want to talk to your doctor. Some potential risk factors include:

1. Chronic diseases: Some chronic diseases, such as thyroid problems and anemia, may cause unstable hormone levels, which can lead to symptoms in the lower abdomen.

2. Medications: Certain medications, such as antidepressants and hormone replacement therapy medications, may affect hormone levels, causing symptoms in the lower abdomen.

3. Health problems: Some health problems, such as intestinal disease and liver disease, may cause symptoms in the lower abdomen.

If you feel that symptoms in your lower abdomen are too frequent or severe, or if they interfere with your daily life, it is recommended to consult your doctor. The doctor may perform a physical examination and ask about medical history and symptoms to determine possible causes and recommend appropriate treatment.
