Patient's question:
My menstrual period date is on the 25th of May, and it ended on the 28th. On the 1st, I had a transvaginal ultrasound, which showed that there were follicles, with the largest being 9mm. The doctor asked me to come back in a couple of days, but I was too busy to go. By the evening of the 4th, I noticed a clear, egg-white-like discharge. On the 5th, the discharge became more transparent with long threads, so I had intercourse that night. After intercourse, the white discharge with threads disappeared. The test strips showed a weak positive (the previous white discharge with threads lasted for about five to six days), but this time, after intercourse, it disappeared. I continued to have discharge after intercourse, which was very thin, and my underwear was always wet. What's going on? The test strips on the 6th and 7th were still weak positive, but on the 8th, it was definitely positive. What's happening? Did my ovulation day pass or not? Did the intercourse I arranged on the 5th lead to pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Pain caused by ovulation: A sensation of lower abdominal distension and pain during the ovulation period is due to the rupture of the follicle. Generally, this pain does not affect health or lead to adverse consequences. However, in very rare cases, if the follicle breaks with a large hole, it may damage small blood vessels, causing the ovary to rupture and leading to internal bleeding in the abdomen. This can result in a gynecological emergency and requires hospital treatment.
