What is the reason for pain in the lower right abdomen and right leg after menstruation?

Patient's question:

I always have a dull pain in the lower right abdomen after my period, and my right leg also hurts. The right side of my waist also hurts. It takes about 10 days to feel better.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, pelvic pain during ovulation is often on one side of the lower abdomen. The pain is not severe,, or a sense of heaviness and fullness. It is sometimes overlooked and does not pose serious harm. It typically lasts for about half a day to a day and then resolves on its own. This is a signal that the egg is being released from the ovary. Some women experience lower abdominal pain during the mid-cycle of each menstrual period, which is usually referred to as ovulatory pain. Ovulatory abdominal pain is a type of physiological pain caused by the rupture of the follicle and the stimulation of the peritoneum by the follicular fluid after ovulation. Therefore, the pain is usually mild. Typically, a woman's two ovaries alternate in ovulating, with one ovulation per month, so the pain also occurs cyclically, usually once a month, often alternating between the left and right lower abdomen. Ovulation usually occurs between two menstrual periods, specifically on days 13-16 of the menstrual cycle.
