Q. Suddenly I had ovulation pain that wasn’t there and the pain got worse. Is there any way to mitigate it?

Painful ovulation is an unpleasant sensation experienced by many women, although the symptoms vary in severity. Ovulation pain is pain that causes peritoneal irritation or changes in intestinal motility as a small amount of hemorrhagic ascites fills the abdominal cavity when the dominant follicle in the ovary ruptures for ovulation each month and blood vessel damage is accompanied around the ovarian capsule.

Some women experience ovulatory pain as severe as menstrual cramps. If the pain is severe enough to interfere with daily activities whenever ovulation occurs, an ovulation inhibitor, such as an oral contraceptive pill, can help relieve the pain.

However, if ovulation pain is more severe, it is important to check for basic obstetric and gynecological examination of the tissues around the uterus and ovaries for endometriosis, uterine adhesions or pelvicitis, and then to receive related counseling. . Therefore, please visit the nearest obstetrics and gynecology clinic for more detailed guidance through specialist treatment.

Q. My lower abdomen is in a weird pain, but I’m not sure if it’s ovulation pain or pelvic pain.
Symptoms of ovulatory pain can include lower abdominal pain, breast tenderness, and small amounts of vaginal bleeding during ovulation.

Symptoms of pelvicitis include pain in the lower abdomen or flank, high fever, vomiting, excessive discharge or odor, and pain during intercourse.

If the pain persists, visit a nearby obstetrician and gynecologist to check the condition of the uterus and ovaries through ultrasound.

D. The bleeding that started during ovulation continues. Are you OK?
During ovulation, bleeding can occur depending on the condition of the body. Ovulation bleeding is usually less than menstruation and comes with a sticky, clear, mucus-like vaginal discharge. In some cases, it is accompanied by severe pain in the lower abdomen.

If the bleeding stops within 2 to 3 days and the amount is small, there is no need to go to the hospital.

On the other hand, bleeding can also occur in other situations, such as fatigue, poor physical condition, hormonal abnormalities, uterine or ovarian abnormalities, polyps, stress, medications, weight changes, thyroid or other endocrine or systemic diseases. The exact thing can only be known through an examination, so if symptoms persist, consult a gynecologist.
