Why do I have pain on one side of my lower abdomen during ovulation?

Some women experience mild abdominal pain two weeks before their period, but nothing is wrong with them. This situation is ovulation abdominal pain. Abdominal pain caused by ovulation is called ovulation pain. As the follicles develop and mature, their volume continues to increase, the amount of follicular fluid increases, and they gradually move to the surface of the ovary, protruding from the ovarian capsule. When the egg cell is fully developed and mature, the follicle membrane and ovarian capsule will dissolve and rupture, and the egg cell will be slowly squeezed out. This is ovulation. During ovulation, the follicles and the fluid inside the follicles overflow into the abdominal cavity, stimulating the peritoneum and causing abdominal pain. This is ovulation abdominal pain. If the ovaries ovulate alternately on both sides, abdominal pain may occur alternately in the lower abdomen on both sides every month.

Many diseases and factors may cause abdominal pain, so abdominal pain caused by other diseases should be ruled out before diagnosing this disease. It can be identified by measuring the basal body temperature over a period of time. If the time of abdominal pain coincides with the time of ovulation, it is ovulation abdominal pain. Of course, not every woman experiences ovulation pain every month.

Ovulation abdominal pain is a physiological phenomenon and does not require treatment. If the abdominal pain is severe, you can take some painkillers or take short-acting contraceptives orally for a period of time.

The chance of pregnancy during ovulation

The ovulation period is the time when the chance of conception is the highest, and it can also be said to be the only chance of conception, because women only have one chance to ovulate in a month. Therefore, as long as both parties are healthy at this time, the sperm and egg can meet and combine normally, and can be transported to the uterus through the fallopian tube for placement, conception can occur normally. It seems that conception is a very simple and easy process, but the chance of conception during ovulation is not 100%, and sometimes it is affected by many other factors.

The above is from the perspective of conception, but from the perspective of contraception, the chance of conception is relatively high at this time. Even if ejaculation is performed outside the body, if there are no contraceptive measures, the chance of conception can still reach 60%. Therefore, you should take contraceptive measures when having sex, take birth control pills regularly, use condoms, or reduce the number of times you have sex.
