Is it normal to feel period pain during ovulation
Aug 25, 2014
Some experience a dull, achy feeling, which lasts for a few hours or even over a couple days. Other women experience a sudden, sharp pain, lasting just a moment.
This will be not a period pain but an ovulation pain .Ovulation pain is experienced at least once by up to 50% of women, with about 20% of women experiencing ovulation pain every month.
Ovulation pain does seem to coincide with ovulation,However, a bit of gas could be mistaken for ovulation pain, and some women may feel twinges after ovulation. I wouldn't recommend using ovulation pain as a primary way to detect your fertile window, but it can help confirm other signs of ovulation
No one is really sure what causes ovulation pain.
Another theory is that the sharp, sudden pain some women feel may be caused by the egg itself, bursting out from the follicle.
Spasms of the fallopian tubes or uterus as ovulation approaches may be another possible cause.
Here's something interesting about ovulation pain: the side you feel it on may signal which ovary you actually ovulated from.
You may notice that the pain is more frequently on one side than the other. While you may have been taught that the ovaries "take turn ovulating" from month to month, it's actually normal for one side to do more of the ovulating work than the other.
are you taking fertility drugs ,While ovulation pain is common, severe pain around ovulation should be checked out, especially if you're taking fertility drugs. Severe stomach pain that comes during or just after ovulation, while taking fertility drugs, could be ovarian
hyperstimulation syndrome.
If the pain is severe, or is accompanied by vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, or trouble breathing, contact a doctor right away, even if you're not taking fertility drugs. You may be confusing "ovulation pain" for something more serious like appendicitis.
Also, if you find yourself experiencing pain around ovulation that interferes with your daily life, or pain that makes having sex to get pregnant difficult, you should let your doctor know.
Intense pelvic pain around the time of ovulation or during sex can also be a symptom of endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
So ,it is an ovulation pain that happen around the time of ovulation and can respond to usual pain killers such as panadol or advil ,if the pain is severe or you have other symptoms then contact the doctor for further investigations .
