Why does my lower abdomen hurt during ovulation?

Causes of lower abdominal pain during ovulation

Generally speaking, pain in the lower abdomen during ovulation is caused by stimulation of the uterus after the eggs are released from the ovaries, causing uterine contractions. This contraction may cause mild pain in the abdomen, but it usually goes away on its own within a few seconds. This symptom usually occurs a few days before and after ovulation, and this period is also called the "danger period."

In addition, some women may experience other symptoms, such as vaginal bleeding, low back pain, headache, etc. These symptoms may be caused by other causes, such as infection, tumors, inflammation, etc.

How to deal with lower abdominal pain during ovulation

If a woman experiences abdominal distention and pain during ovulation, she can try the following methods to relieve it:

1. Rest: During this period, women need to maintain adequate rest to avoid overexertion.

2. Diet: During this period, women can increase the amount of water they drink to help release eggs. In addition, some foods such as hot towels, warm water, etc. can also help relieve pain.

3. Medication: If the pain is severe, women can consider using some over-the-counter medications to relieve pain, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc. However, please note that these drugs should be used according to your doctor's advice and prescription.

To sum up, the symptoms of lower abdominal pain during ovulation are usually mild and do not require special treatment. If symptoms are severe or persist for a long time, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to determine whether there are other problems.
