Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what it feels like when an egg is released from the body?Doctor's answer:
Eggs do not ovulate outside the body. After being released from the ovaries, they travel to the ampulla of the fallopian tube, where they wait for sperm to arrive. Their survival time is only 12-36 hours, and the optimal time for fertilization is just 24 hours. If sperm is not encountered within this 24-hour window, the egg loses its ability to be fertilized and gradually dies, eventually being absorbed by the body.
