Patient's question:
Please ask the professor, sometimes my lower abdomen on both sides hurts during ovulation! Will it affect pregnancy? Will changes in hormone levels affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is considered to be ovulatory abdominal pain, which refers to abdominal pain that occurs in adolescent girls or women of childbearing age between two menstrual periods, around the time of ovulation, and typically subsides on its own within one or two days.(1) General supportive and symptomatic treatment: Absolute bed rest in a semi-recumbent position to facilitate drainage and fluid discharge, as well as to help localize inflammation. Increase fluid intake and consume high-calorie, easily digestible semi-liquid diets. Patients with high fever should receive intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Correct constipation by taking herbal medicines such as senna leaves, or using physiological saline or 1,2,3 enemas. For those experiencing pain and restlessness, sedatives and analgesics can be administered. In acute cases with severe peritoneal irritation symptoms, ice packs or hot water bags can be applied to the painful area (whether cold or hot compresses should be used based on the patient's comfort). After 6–7 days, if gynecological examinations and laboratory tests (including total white blood cell count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate) confirm that the condition has stabilized, infrared or shortwave diathermy can be used instead.
(2) Controlling infection: Refer to the smear examination of uterine cavity discharge or bacterial culture and drug sensitivity results to select appropriate antibiotics.
