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, abdominal pain during ovulation is often on one side of the lower abdomen, and the pain is not severe, presenting as dull, hidden, or a sense of heaviness and fullness. Sometimes it goes unnoticed and does not cause serious harm. It usually subsides on its own within half a day to a day. 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 often 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, the two ovaries in a woman's body alternate in ovulating once per month, so the pain also occurs cyclically, usually alternating between the left and right lower abdomen. Ovulation usually occurs between two menstrual periods, specifically on days 13-16 of the menstrual cycle.
